U atletici još nije modelovan ni jedan ekspertni sistem koji bi omogućio trenerima sistematsko praćenje rezultata sportista različi­tog uzrasta, kao i predikciju njihovih rezultata u budućnosti. Brz razvoj tehno­logije omogućava nam dobijanje sve većeg broja objektivnih podataka na osnovu kojih možemo da dobijemo vernu sliku tehnike kretanja. Moramo ipak, naglasiti, da je većina metoda za ocenu tehnike atletskih disci­plina dosta komplikovana, zahteva posebne aparature i posebno obučen kadar. Predloženi kriterijumi za kontrolu i ocenu sprinta predstavljaju sponu između naučnih istraživanja i prakse. Implementacija izloženih kriteri­juma je primenjiva kako u školsko obrazovnom sistemu, kao kolevci mladih talenata, tako i u sportskim klubovima, kao kolevci svetskih rekordera.

The participants (aged: 10.5±0.5 years; body mass: 38.2±7.1 kg; body height: 145.7±6.1 cm) were randomly assigned to the experimental (EG; n= 35) and control group (CG; n= 30). Motor coordination was assessed by the complex movement task polygon . After initial testing, 10-week sports activity polygon program was implemented. At the end of the treatment the final testing took place. The results of the paired T-test indicated that the EG improved significantly (p=.000) in measured motor coordination abilities. The sports activity polygon appears to be an effective way of improving children’s coordination performance. Teachers could use this information to plan and improve the process of physical education.

They were estimated using the pedometer and heart rate sensor. MO is measured using a modified Self-Regulation Questionnaire. PSC was measured using subscales of the Self-perception Profile for Children. In boys, PSC and motivation present better predictors of physical activity in PE elementary school classes (p<0.01), than in girls. Intrinsic Motivation and Athletic Competence have a high predictive function. Boys with a higher level of sport competence and intrinsic motivation are physically more active in a PE classes. PE classes could enhance MO and PSC by supporting basic different psychological aspect of children.

Узорак испитаника чинило је 95 ученика (узраст 7,7±0,7 година), који су подељени у две групе. Експериментална група (N=49) је примењивала полигон у настави током осам недеља, док је контролна група (N=46) изводила часове физичког васпитања према редовном наставном програму. Сви испитаници су били тестирани помоћу четири моторичка теста за процену: брзине, координације, експлозивне снаге и репетитивне снаге. Мултивариатном анализом коваријансе утврђено је да су испитаници експерименталне групе на крају поступка били статистички значајно бољи од контролне групе, док је Т-тестом упарених узорака утврђено да постоји ефекат поступка на статистички значајном нивоу (p=0,00). Ово истраживање је указало на значај примене полигона као oрганизационог облика рада у физичког васпитања са циљем побољшања моторичких способности деце млађег школског узраста. полигон, организациони облик рада, моторичке способности, млађи школски узраст Увод Институционално организован облик физичког вежбања је процес који траје од предшколског до завршетка средњошколског образовања, мада може трајати и током студирања. Развој моторичких способности у млађем школском узрасту условљен је квалитетом наставе физичког васпитања (Piek, Dawson, Smith & Gasson, 2008). Осим квалитета наставе, адекватне програме физичког вежбања потребно је повезати са сензитивним периодима и претходним искуством деце, како би се остварио што бољи ефекат вежбања на моторичке способности (

Узорак испитаника су сачињавала сто седамдесет четири ученика млађег школског узраста на територији Ужица, узраста 10 ± 0,65 година. Анализирано је седам моторичких варијабли ради утврђивања квантитативних разлика у просторима моторичког функ ционирања деце. Деца су подељена на три групе на основу индекса телесне масе (потхрање ни, нормално ухрањени и прекомерно ухрањени). Резултати добијени у овом истраживању указују на постојање разлика у моторичком простору између група испитаника. Највећа разлика између група се показала у подручју брзине кретања, координације целог тела, ста тичке снаге руку и раменог појаса и гипкости. Дефинисана је разлика и у репетитивној снази, с нешто мањим нивоом значајности. Овакав ре зул тат наводи на за кљу чак да де ца ко ја су ухрањена поседују боље моторичке способности у односу на потхрањене и прекомер но ухрањене. То је у индиректној вези са квалитетом наставе физичког васпитања, јер се ученици са бољим моторичким способностима више крећу и више се залажу на часу. Кључне речи: индекс телесне масе (ИТМ), моторичке способности, ниво ухрање ности, млађи школски узраст. Увод 1 Прекомерна тежина и гојазност су проширене последњих деценија широм света и попримиле су карактеристике епидемије, а све као последица модерног начина живота. Постоји мно

Узорак испитаника чинило је 95 ученика (узраст 7,7±0,7 година), који су подељени у две групе. Експериментална група (N=49) је примењивала полигон у настави током осам недеља, док је контролна група (N=46) изводила часове физичког васпитања према редовном наставном програму. Сви испитаници су били тестирани помоћу четири моторичка теста за процену: брзине, координације, експлозивне снаге и репетитивне снаге. Мултивариатном анализом коваријансе утврђено је да су испитаници експерименталне групе на крају поступка били статистички значајно бољи од контролне групе, док је Т-тестом упарених узорака утврђено да постоји ефекат поступка на статистички значајном нивоу (p=0,00). Ово истраживање је указало на значај примене полигона као oрганизационог облика рада у физичког васпитања са циљем побољшања моторичких способности деце млађег школског узраста. полигон, организациони облик рада, моторичке способности, млађи школски узраст Увод Институционално организован облик физичког вежбања је процес који траје од предшколског до завршетка средњошколског образовања, мада може трајати и током студирања. Развој моторичких способности у млађем школском узрасту условљен је квалитетом наставе физичког васпитања (Piek, Dawson, Smith & Gasson, 2008). Осим квалитета наставе, адекватне програме физичког вежбања потребно је повезати са сензитивним периодима и претходним искуством деце, како би се остварио што бољи ефекат вежбања на моторичке способности (

In order to check symptoms in patients with disability and shoulder pain, clinicians use different methods and diagnostic imaging assessment. The research is aimed at evaluating whether there is a difference between provocation function tests (PFT) and ultrasonographic (US) testing of muscles within the rotator cuff in elite collegiate athletes. Patients ( n = 184 ) were recruited from university team sports selections and tested with a standardized US examination of the shoulder and five PFTs (Speed’s test, Neer’s test, Hawkins test, lift-off test, Yergason’s test). Based on the VAS pain assessment scale, 60 subjects had some pain, which was taken for further processing in the work (124 subjects did not have the presence of pain and were excluded from further processing). The US examination was conducted using...

Узорак испитаника су сачињавала сто седамдесет четири ученика млађег школског узраста на територији Ужица, узраста 10 ± 0,65 година. Анализирано је седам моторичких варијабли ради утврђивања квантитативних разлика у просторима моторичког функ ционирања деце. Деца су подељена на три групе на основу индекса телесне масе (потхрање ни, нормално ухрањени и прекомерно ухрањени). Резултати добијени у овом истраживању указују на постојање разлика у моторичком простору између група испитаника. Највећа разлика између група се показала у подручју брзине кретања, координације целог тела, ста тичке снаге руку и раменог појаса и гипкости. Дефинисана је разлика и у репетитивној снази, с нешто мањим нивоом значајности. Овакав ре зул тат наводи на за кљу чак да де ца ко ја су ухрањена поседују боље моторичке способности у односу на потхрањене и прекомер но ухрањене. То је у индиректној вези са квалитетом наставе физичког васпитања, јер се ученици са бољим моторичким способностима више крећу и више се залажу на часу. Кључне речи: индекс телесне масе (ИТМ), моторичке способности, ниво ухрање ности, млађи школски узраст. Увод 1 Прекомерна тежина и гојазност су проширене последњих деценија широм света и попримиле су карактеристике епидемије, а све као последица модерног начина живота. Постоји мно
