Aim. The research was conducted with the aim of determining preschool-aged children's sex differentiation using the multivariate and univariate variance analyses (MANOVA/ANOVA). Material and methods. A battery of measuring instruments comprising 17 variables (8 morphological characteristics variables and 9 motor skills variables) was carried out on a sample of 69 children (49 boys and 20 girls), aged 5 and 6, from the Primorje-Gorski Kotar County in the Republic of Croatia. Results. The results showed that, between boys and girls of this age, there are multivariate statistically significant differences in arithmetic meanings at the level of p = .022 in the entire system of morphological and motor variables, whereas univariate values did not show a statistical significance. Conclusion. The conclusion is drawn that in the morphologic space in children between the ages of five and six years, there are quite equal developmental processes based on sex differentiation and genetic determinations (4:4); however, this is more pronounced in the motor space in favor of the girls (2:7) at this age.
The research was conducted with the aim to determine the relationship between morphological characteristics and motor knowledge of representative teaching materials of the official curriculum for Physical education for fifth grade female pupils in elementary school. In concordance with the stated, 16 anthropological measures for the evaluation of morphological characteristics and 7 tests of representative teaching material used for the evaluation of motor knowledge were applied on a sample of 152 female pupils. The results of canonical correlation analysis conducted on the systems of morphological variables and motor knowledge variables showed that one pair of statistically significant canonical factors with the 0.61 (p=0.00) canonical correlation coefficient was singled out. The relationship structure of the isolated significant pair of the canonical factor showed that pupils who achieved better results in the motor knowledge tests Fast running (60 m) from low start, Handstand against vertical surface, High jump (scissors technique), Front fall over the shoulder in the dominant side, had lower values in the measures of subcutaneous fat tissue and body volume, and vice versa. The remaining three motor knowledge tests showed somewhat lower, but still negative values of correlation with the mentioned anthropological measures. The redundancy indicators showed that it is possible to evaluate only 16.51% of the motor knowledge variables group variance using the morphological characteristics group of variables, and vice versa, and further on, that it is possible to evaluate 21.57% of the morphological characteristics group of variables variance using the motor knowledge group of
The research was carried out in order to determine the correlation between morphological characteristics and a representative curriculum topic Bounce from middle position in volleyball from the curriculum unit Games in the Croatian Physical Education curriculum for elementary school female students. In accordance with the above mentioned, a set of 16 anthropometric measurements to evaluate morphological characteristics as well as the test of motor skill Bounce from middle position in volleyball was used on the sample of 152 female students aged 11 (± 6 months). The results of multiple regression analysis showed a high degree of correlation between the set of predictors of applied morphological variables and the criterion variable Bounce from middle position in volleyball (R = .44). The analysis of the partial influence of certain morphological variables on the significance of the regression model showed that the statistically significant contribution is shown by the variables of the back skinfold, the mean chest circumference, the upper arm skinfold, the forearm circumference, the lower leg skinfold and the wrist diameter. The results of the research show the significance of choosing the curriculum topic Bounce from middle position in volleyball in planning the Physical Education lesson to transform certain morphological characteristics in order to achieve the desirable final conditions of the female pupils and also to achieve better results in grading this curriculum content.
The research has been conducted with the aim of establishing correlations between motor abilities and motor skills of representative teaching themes of the physical education curriculum for fifth grade pupils in primary school. Accordingly, 21 tests for estimating motor abilities and 7 tests for estimating motor skills were applied on the sample of 152 eleven-year- old pupils. The results of the correlation analysis indicated a high level of linear connection between the two observed groups. Two significant canonical roots were isolated using the canonical correlation analysis. The first root was defined by the relations between the following tests: high jump (scissors technique), fast running (up to 60m) from the low start, basic floor shoot (handball) and volley above the forehead from the middle position (volleyball) with coordination, frequency movement velocity, and static and explosive strength. The second root is defined by two relations. The first points to the connection of the results of the following tests: hand stand along the vertical surface with the factors of strength, balance, flexibility and coordination, while the other is based on the connection between the tests basic floor shoot (handball) and volley above the forehead from the middle volleyball position (volleyball) with the trunk repetitive strength and explosive strength of arms and shoulders.

Sukladno navedenom, na uzorku od 152 učenika u dobi od 11 godina primijenjen je 21 test za procjenu motoričkih sposobnosti te 7 testova za procjenu motoričkih znanja. Rezultati korelacijske analize ukazali su na visok stupanja linearne povezanosti dvaju promatranih skupova. Kanoničkom korelacijskom analizom izolirana su dva značajna kanonička korijena. Prvi korijen definiran je relacijama između testova: Skok uvis prekoračnom tehnikom „škare“, Brzo trčanje do 60 m iz niskog starta, Šut s tla osnovnim načinom (rukomet) te Vršno odbijanje iz srednjeg odbojkaškog stava (odbojka) s koordinacijom, brzinom frekvencije pokreta te statičkom i eksplozivnom snagom. Drugi korijen definiraju dvije relacije. Prva ukazuje na povezanost rezultata testa Stoj na rukama uz okomitu plohu s faktorima snage, ravnotežom, fleksibilnošću te koordinacijom, dok se druga zasniva na povezanosti testova Šut s tla osnovnim načinom (rukomet) te Vršno odbijanje iz srednjeg odbojkaškog stava (odbojka) s repetitivnom snagom trupa te eksplozivnom snage ruku i ramenog pojasa.Ključne riječi: učenici petih razreda osnovne škole; motoričko učenje; motoričke manifestacije; tjelesna i zdravstvena kultura
The aim of this research is to identify significant anthropological factors importantfor success in a karate fight by which we may obtain some information on thecomplexity of karate in the latent structure significant in the application of karateas a sport in education, and as part of curricular and extracurricular activities. Forthis purpose, we applied a set of 18 anthropometrical measures, a set of 10 basicmotor tests, a set of 5 situation-related motor karate tests, a set of 8 performancemarks in 6 basic karate techniques and 2 karate kata on the sample of 105 pupilsaged 13-15 who, in addition to their physical education classes, have been engagedin karate training for at least 4 years. By factor analyses in the morphologicaldomain, we isolated the ecto-mesomorphy factor and endomorphy factor; inthe basic motor domain we isolated the factor of general motor efficiency; in thesituation-related motor domain we isolated the factor of specific speed and thefactor of specific agility and in the domain of karate techniques performance marks,we isolated the factor of technical efficiency. Further on, by applying canonicaldiscriminant analyses we established differences between quality and less qualitypupils - all active karate athletes in the complete domain of isolated factors. Thediscriminant function showed that karate athletes of higher quality, comparedto those of lower quality, mostly differ in greater technical efficiency, followed bygreater basic and specific motor efficiency, in addition to having some less adiposetissue.Key words: biomotor status; differences; factors; karate; physical education. --- SažetakCilj istraživanja je identificirati značajne antropološke faktore važne za uspjeh ukarate borbi, čime se mogu dobiti informacije o kompleksnosti karatea u latentnojstrukturi važnoj za primjenu karate sporta u edukaciji, putem izvanškolskih i školskihaktivnosti. Zato je na uzorku od 105 učenika RH koji se uz nastavu TZK najmanje4 godine bave karateom, uzrasne dobi od 13 do 15 godina, primijenjen skup od18 antropometrijskih mjera, skup od 10 temeljnih motoričkih testova, skup od 5situacijskih motoričkih testova iz karatea, skup od 8 ocjena izvedbe 6 osnovnih karatetehnika i 2 karate kate.
