n a sample of 100 female students at the College of Nursing Studies of the University of Bihać, a six-months-long experiment was conducted with the aim of determining the differences between two ...groups, namely the one that practiced step aerobics twice a week and the other, control group, which had no organized physical training. The research topic is a longitudinal study on a sample of female students, through the prism of researching the efficiency of Step aerobics programme in the evaluation of selected anthropological characteristics, as well as through the process of valorization of this programme’s effect on the anthropological status of female students compared to students who did not have an organized physical training. Based on t-test and discriminant analysis, it has been concluded that there are statistically significant differences between these two groups of students. The results show that there has been a change in the students of the experimental group in the initial and final measurement, which also reflected on the differences between the experimental and control groups. A single discriminant function that has very high statistical significance has been isolated. Based on these results, it can be confirmed that there was an improvement of results of morphological characteristics in female students, although they practiced only twice a week. It turned out that there was also a redistribution of body composition on account of improving the volume at the expense of adipose tissue.
A research study was conducted on a sample of 110 male and female participants aged 11 and 12 years (±1.2 years) to compare two different methods for identifying spinal deformities. The aim was to ...determine which of the two methods is better and more applicable in practical school conditions. The methods compared were Napoleon Wolanski's method with 8 variables and the 3D method from Contemplas GmbH TEMPLO General Motion, assessed with a total of 11 variables. By analyzing the table of central dispersion parameters of body posture according to Napoleon Wolanski's method, the participants were classified into 5 groups based on the results. Participants with scores up to 8 points were considered to have good posture, while those with scores from 9 to 16 points were treated as having poor posture. The research revealed that a total of 66 out of 110 participants had poor posture, accounting for 60%. Results from the Contemplas method showed deviations from proper posture in almost all variables. The analysis indicated significant deviations in shoulder rotation, pelvic rotation, sagittal distances, and flexion/extension variables. Overall, the results demonstrated a high prevalence of body deformities in 11- and 12-year-old students. Analyzing the results of both methods for determining body deformities, it can be confidently stated that the frequency of body deformities in students aged 11 and 12 is significantly high. Napoleon Wolanski's method identified that 60% of participants had some form of spinal deformity, while the Contemplas method showed more pronounced results, with some variables indicating deformations in 80-85% of participants. Despite providing more detailed information about students' posture, the Contemplas method is less applicable in practical school conditions due to its significant cost. Therefore, Napoleon Wolanski's method remains indispensable in school settings.
The aim of the study was to determine the differences in the level of fat, sugar and body structure based on the level of functional abilities. The sample of respondents are students of the ...University of Bihać who also completed the shuttle run test (BEEPT). T-test for independent samples revealed the existence of statistically significant differences between the arithmetic means of the two groups of subjects for (AMAS, p = 0 .011), (BMI p = 0 .000), (FAT%, p = 0.000), (FMKG p) = 0.000). A statistically significant difference was also found in the variable triglycerides (TRIGL p = 0.019), while in the other variables no statistically significant difference was found in the two groups of subjects in favor of subjects who had better results in functional abilities. The coefficient of discriminant canonical correlation is (0.512), as is Wilks lambda, (0.738), which indicates very high discrimination between groups (sig. 000). The greatest contribution to the formation of the discriminatory function was given by the variables FMKG - .801, FATPR -.760, BMI - .707, AMAS - .390, TRIGL - .358, HOLE - .235. The centroids of the groups show a large distance between the results of the groups because they are located at both ends of the coordinate system. The first group consists of positive results of a total of 7 variables, which means that the respondents of the first group had significantly better results in these variables.
Based on the results, it can be concluded that the increase in cholesterol triglycerides and some parameters of body structure affected the level of health status as well as body composition in students.
Na uzorku od 100 studentica Visoke zdravstvene škole Univerziteta u Bihaću je urađen eksperiment u trajanju od 6 mjeseci s ciljem utvrđivanja razlika između dvije grupe ispitanika i to jedne koja je ...radila step aerobik dva puta nedjeljno i druge kontrolne koja nije imala organizovano tjelesno vježbanje. Na osnovu t-testa i diskriminacijske analize utvrđeno je da je došlo do statistički značajnih razlika između ove dvije grupe ispitanika. Rezultati pokazuju da je došlo do promjena kod ispitanika eksperimentalne grupe između inicijalnog i finalnog mjerenja a također se to odrazilo i na razlike između eksperimentalne i kontrolne grupe. Izolovana je jedna diskriminaciona funkcija koja ima vrlo visoku statističku značajnost. Na osnovu dobijenih rezultata može se potvrditi da je došlo do poboljšanja rezultata morfoloških karakteristika kod studentkinja, iako su vježbale samo dva puta nedjeljno. Pokazalo se da je došlo i do redistribucije sastava tijela na račun poboljšanja volumena a na štetu masnog tkiva.
The main goal of this research is to determine the contribution of the exercise equipment and free weights to develop the dynamic power and static power ofa thletes aged 15-16 years. In a sample of ...162 subjects (divided into two subgroups-control and experimental group) was applied 20 tests for the assessment of dynamic power and static power. T-test results show us statistically significant partial quantitative changes in the studied variables in both subsamples. These changes were in the control group significantly weaker, but in each case statistically significant. Based on these results we conclude that each carefully planned program of activities designed to target kinesiology operators, appropriate scale and intensity of the set based on the results of the test input dijagnostičnog leads to a transformation of the expected effects of the training process.
