The goal of this research is to determine the progress in development of speed, agility and explosiveness in young footballers. The research was conducted on a sample of 25 young footballers aged ...9.50 ± 0.50, height 143,4 ± 6,6 cm and weight 33,5 ± 7,9 kg. The respondents are members of the football club "NK Sloga" from Ljubuski, who are trained in the age category "Limaci (U-11)". A total of 3 tests were applied: 1. Running at 20 meters from the high start (Tr20m); 2. Running back and forth with a change of 90° (TrNN); 3. Zig-zag running between poles (TrZZ). An analysis of the differences (T-test) between initial and final measurements resulted in an improvement in the results. The average result of the initial 20m run measurement is 4,43 seconds while the average result of the final measurement is better for 10 hundredths and is 4,33 seconds. In the zig-zag test, the average score of the initial measurement was 9,34 seconds, while the final result was 9,1 seconds. The average score was improved by 0,24 hundredths. In a 180° shift running, respondents ran averaged 14.37 seconds in the initial measurement, or 14,08 seconds in the final measurement.The average score improved by 0,29 hundredths. Correlation analysis found that there was a statistically significant connection between all three tests. The highest connection between the two different tests was measured at the initial measurement of the run test with 180° change of direction and the final measurement at the 20m running test and it was 0,89.
For the investigation of interpersonal relations in small groups such as sports, sociometric procedure are used. In this study, sociometric procedure is conducted and sociometric structure has been ...made for the female University Volleyball Club BL volley from Banja Luka, who competes in the Premier League BiH. The task was to discover the emotional-social and functional status of the players, and the status of congruency and to evaluate the atmosphere at the club. Further analysis has been done of the aspirations of the players in terms of taking a position at the score table, as well as their assessment of management's expectations regarding the position on the score table. After sociogram and sociometric matrices has been made, it can be said that the team has three distinctive groups that are separated by mutual election of its members when it comes to emotional and sociological status. The assessment of functional status identifies two players who received 16 and 14 votes out of 17 possible. Two players who have received the most votes by socio-emotional criteria, were not selected in the first team by the coplayers, which again speaks of a team that very well makes a distinction between “friendship and business”. Based on these results, it can be concluded that the atmosphere in the team is good and that it is not affected by functional status, or age of the players (almost half of the team is younger than 18). And finally, using Man-Vitni and Kruskal-Volis test it was found that neither age nor functional status does not affect significantly the assessment of the position on the score table. Functional status and age is also not a source of significant differences in the assessment of the players on what they think the club management is expected from them.
pplying the method of main components by Hotelling and the method of rotation of the main components, i.e. Varimax rotations by Keiser, the latent structure of basketball efficiency was established. ...It was based on the fourteen manifest indicators of efficiency. Our findings refer to the sample comprised of the game-winning teams at the World Championships: in Greece, 62 basketball teams; the USA, 62 basketball teams; Japan, 80 basketball teams; and Turkey, 80 basketball teams. Factorization was performed on the entire sample of all game-winning teams, that is 284, as well as on the single game winners at the championships in Greece, USA, Japan, and Turkey. There was the total of four factor analyses and within each of them five to seven latent dimensions, i.e. factors based on the fourteen manifest efficiency parameters were extracted. Katell method of landslide indicates a clear elbow between the third and fourth component. These first three latent dimensions in all four factor analysis exhibit the stability of factors and high saturation on the side of the manifest variables. The factors have been defined as: general offensive efficiency factor, three-points shot factor and free throw factor. Having the variables that account for the total number of attempted and made shots dominant within the structure of these factors, it can be concluded that general latent structure of basketball efficiency is indeed explained by means of shot efficiency. These findings confirm both empirical and theoretical speculations of basketball experts, i.e. the overall basketball efficiency is primarily dependent on the shot efficiency, what seems entirely logical.
This paper mainly refers to attitudes about the reasons for the avoidance of sports and sports activities of young people who have never been involved in these activities. In this survey involving ...226 university and high school students, 110 stated that they had never been involved in sport or any sporting activities. They are surely the most reputed to answer these questions. Of the offered reasons (causes) that are responsible for avoiding and non-participation in sports and sports activities, in the first place is the lack of interest which is stated by about 90% of the respondents. Secondly, the reason why respondents do not deal with sports and sports activities are the obligations at school and at the faculty, and this was confirmed by 85% of respondents. Laziness follows, about this they were very self-critical and sincere, confirming in a percentage of 84.5% that this was one of the reasons for their abstinence from sports and sports activities. Immediately behind laziness are television, there are computers and cell phones with about 80%, and so on. The results showed that male and female, then smokers and non-smokers, do not differ significantly in attitudes about these reasons. It is the same with those who consume, occasionally consume and do not consume alcohol. There is a partial difference between high school students and university students in attitudes to some causes, as well as between those who live in the city, suburban village and village.
The research papers investigating the game-related parameters and phenomena of women's basketball matches are relatively smaller in size and number than the similar ones treating the same issues in ...men’s basketball - there has been some changes in that respect in recent years though. This paper’s sample of entity consisted of 40 games and thirteen variables of standard efficiency recorded at FIBA EuroBasket Women 2017. The research had two basic models of regressions formed, i.e. the absolute and the relative one, each of which had total numbers scored as the dependent variable, and was performed by means of regression and correlation analysis - stepwise regression, as a gradual method of fitting regression models in order to define predictive variables. The obtained regression models and partial correlation indicate that the winning or losing performance was heavily influenced by both field goal efficiency and defensive rebounding, all of which has been corroborated in many other similar pieces of research. Also, the variables as turnovers and personal fouls were extracted as significant in terms of differentiation between the winning and losing team. When we take a closer look and see the observed parameters from the point of view of either First or Final rounds of the competition - since these rounds were played in different formats - it is noticeable that it is becoming more and more evident, of course besides the shot efficiency, the efficiency of free throws and the quality of defense.
Cilj ovog istraživanja bio je utvrditi napredak u razvoju brzine, agilnosti i eksplozivnosti kod mladih nogometaša. Istraživanje je provedeno na uzorku od 25 mladih nogometaša starosne dobi ...9.50±0.50, visine 143,4±6,6 cm i težine 33,5±7,9 kg. Ispitanici su članovi nogometnog kluba „NK Sloga“ iz Ljubuškog, koji treniraju u uzrasnoj kategoriji „Limači (U-11)“. Primijenjeno je ukupno 3 testa: 1. Trčanje na 20 metara iz visokog starta (Tr20m); 2. Trčanje naprijed-nazad s promjenom pod 90° (TrNN); 3. Zig-zag trčanje između štapova (TrZZ). Analizom razlika (T-test) između inicijalnog i finalnog mjerenja utvrđeno je poboljšanje rezultata. Prosječan rezultat inicijalnog mjerenja trčanja na 20m iznosi 4,43 sekunde dok je prosječan rezultat finalnog mjerenja bolji za 10 stotinki i iznosi 4,33 sekunde. U zig-zag testu prosječan rezultat inicijalnog mjerenja iznosio je 9,34 sekundi, dok je kod finalnog iznosio 9,1 sekundu. Prosječni rezultat popravio se za 0,24 stotinike. U trčanju s promjenom smjera 180° ispitanici su prosječno trčali 14.37 sekundi u inicijalnom mjerenju, odnosno 14,08 sekundi u finalnom mjerenju. Prosječni rezultat popravio se za 0,29 stotinki. Korelacijskom analizom utvrđeno je da postoji statistički značajna povezanost između sva tri testa. Najveća povezanost između dva različita testa izmjerena je kod inicijalnog mjerenja testa trčanje s promjenom smjera za 180° i finalnog mjerenja kod testa trčanje na 20 metara i iznosi 0,89.
Analizom situacione efikasnosti 47 utakmica u obe faze takmičenja sa Evropskog prvenstva u rukometu održanog 2012. godine u Srbiji utvrđena je situaciona efikasnost šutiranja na gol sa šest pozicija ...(šut sa 6 m, šut sa 9 m, šut sa 7 m, šut iz prolaza, šut sa krila i šut iz kontra napada), sa napomenom da je svaki šut sa ovih pozicija analiziran kao uspješno šutiranje ili neuspješno šutiranje. Uzorak je bio podijeljen u dvije grupe (pobjeda i poraz). Rezultati deskriptivne statistike su pokazali razlike prosječnih rezultata u svim varijablama između pobjedničkih i poraženih ekipa. Značajnost razlika je provjerena T testom. Utvrđeno je da se prosječni rezultati između pobjedničkih i poraženih ekipa statistički značajno razlikuju u varijablama UBG, PROC, ŠKRUS i Š9MNE, dok ostale utvrđene razlike nisu statistički značajne na ovom nivou zaključivanja.

This paper examines the relationship between general coordination ability and the acquisition of falling techniques envisaged in the Special Physical Education program on a sample of 84 second-year ...male students aged 19 ± 0.6 years at the Faculty of Security Studies. The aim of this study was to determine the influence of general coordination on the efficiency of performing falling techniques and to define quantitative differences regarding motor coordination between the students who received poor grades and those who received better grades. The sample of variables consisted of thirteen tests to assess general coordination ability and variables to assess the level of the falling techniques acquired. The results of regression analysis showed that motor coordination is important for performing falling techniques envisaged in the Special Physical Education program, while, based on the results of the Mann-Whitney U test, a statistically significant difference in coordination between the students with law and high test scores was found in three variables: cushioning the ball (MKAAML), air agility (MKTOZ) and striking horizontal pads (MKRPLH) in favor of the students with high test scores. The results obtained could con-tribute to the economy of learning through better organization of the teaching process and the selection of a battery of tests to test motor skills during the student selection process for admission to the Faculty of Security Studies.
