- Quantitative differences in motor abilities and basic anthropometrics characteristics of boys and girls from fourth grade of primary school
- In order to determine the quantitative differences in motor abilities and basic anthropometric characteristics by gender, we were testing 123 students of the primary school (fourth grade, 10,5 years old). Testing was applied technique of research. Two basic anthropometric measures and 14 motor tests were selected for measuring instruments. Using canonical discriminant analysis leads to results which indicate the presence of statistically significant quantitative differences in motor abilities of boys and girls but not in the anthropometric chararacteristics. Boys were in almost all motor variables statistically significantly better, except in variables for evaluation of flexibility which is more expressed by girls, but in the anthropometric characteristics there is no statistically significant differences relating to gender. Based on research results it is deduced that we need to differentiate primary students of the fourth grade by gender, because of the different levels of motor skills. Fourth grade students do not only need different approach to the work, they also need more frequent physical activity which is indispensable for development and growth.

- Relation residential, social and economical status of parents and anthropometric characteristics of their children
- Subject of this research is establishing relations between certain segments of social-economical status of parents and anthropometrical characteristics and physical activity of their children, that is finding out whether there is an indirect effect of different characteristics pertaining to residential, social and economical status of parents on anthropometrical characteristics and physical activity of their children. Statistical data processing is based on analysis of variance (ANOVA) by which comparison was made between groups of subjects formed according to their social and economical characteristics. It was shown that exist statistical significant differences in physical activity and anthropometric characteristics at children, determinate by different social-economic characteristics of family.

- Relations and teeth characteristics of maxillary and mandibular molars
- Summing up the results of several researches on samples of 4,532 children from Niš, we attempted to comprehend the morphological characteristics of the first and second molars. We thus analyzed the number of cusps, symptoms of reduction, Carabelli's cusp and intercusp pattern of the mandibular molars. Maxillary M1 mainly has four cusps (97.02 to 100%), while M2, which usually has four cusps (70.5 to 76.0%), also has three cusps in a significant number (24.0 to 29.5 %). Mandibular M1 has 5 cusps in 70.5 to 73.48% and 4 cusps ranging from 24.65 to 28%. The presence of 4 cusps is characteristic for M2 (in 89.25 to 95.96%). The reduction process is more characteristic for M2, where hypocone is completely missing in 24.0 to 29.5%, and metacone in just 0.76%; only 1.98% of respondents were without hypocone on M1. The hypoconulid cusp reduction is highly expressed in the mandibular M2 (89.25%), and significantly less in M1 (28%). Carabelli's cusp was recorded on M1 in the range of 31.25 to 46.88%, mostly in the stages II and III. The most common combination of the number of cusps and patterns on M1 is Y5 (in 65.26 to 67.21%), and on M2 it is +4 (in 90.5 to 91.92%). In most of the parameters, our respondents are close to the Western European type.

- Relations anthropometric characteristics and specific motor abilities in boys attending football school
- The 12-variable system for the assessment of anthropometric characteristics and the five-variable system for the assessment of specific motor abilities were applied to a sample of 105 boys aged between 9.5 and 10.5 who had been practicing and taking part in sports contest for at least three years at the football school 'ЯMR'. The aim of the research was to determine the relation anthropometric characteristics and specific motor abilities in boys attending football school. By means of regression analysis it was concluded that anthropometric characteristics highly influence only two criterion variables: kicking a rolling ball against the wall and striking the ball in the air with either foot. According to partial analysis of the anthropometric measure, in largest number of cases only a knee joint diameter was detected as being of significant influence. Based on the research results, the authors believe that anthropometric characteristics have no decisive importance when it comes to selecting young footballers and thus, they suggest a greater attention should be paid to the estimation of some other anthropological abilities in young footballers during their selection.

- Relations between anthropometric characteristic and specific motoric tests in water on students of Faculty of Sport and Physical Education
- In aim of correlation between antropometric characteristics and results of specific motoric tests in water a group of 58 male students of Faculty of sport and physical education underwent anthropometric measurements (body high, body mass, diameters, and skinfolds thicknesses), body fat assessment (using bioelectrical impedance), and motoric tests (leg kick 25m, swimming with tied legs 25m, 25m crawl maximal with push start, 50m crawl technic, stroke frequency while 50m crawl swum, 100m medley and 200m crawl technic). Regression analysis showed that skinfold thicknesses were the most that correlated with specific motoric tests in water results. Body mass and body fat didn't correlate significantly with mentioned test results. Measures of anterior abdominal subcutaneous fat depots (abdominal and suprailiac skinfold thicknesses), as well as sagittal abdominal diameter, showed positive correlation with highest number of performed motoric tests. Study results confirms importance of body characteristics in specific motoric tests in water. Having in mind the biggest influence of skinfold thicknesses on specific motoric tests in water, we can talk about swimmers buoyancy. .

- Relations between anthropometric parameters and motor skills of the preadolescent female students
- The aim of this research was to examine the relations between morphological markers and motor skills of preadolescent female students. In this cross-sectional study, the pertinent sample of N = 162 was represented by V grade elementary school female students (M= .11.24 years, SD= .86), while 16 measuring instruments were used for the evaluation of anthropometric characteristics, and the battery of 7 tests for motor skills evaluation. The findings have revealed that the two groups of the variables manifested are linearly correlated via one statistically significant canonical function which, explains 42% of the common variance proportion. The attained pair of canonical factors in anthropometric space has determined orthogonal linear combinations of the latent dimensions variables (subcutaneous fatty tissue, body voluminosity and body mass, transversal dimensionality of the skeleton and longitudinal dimensionality of the skeleton), while in the motor space it has been determined by the mechanism of female students' motor skills. The results have signaled that the participants who achieved higher scores on the motor skills tests (60 m sprint - crouch start, handstand against a vertical surface, 'scissors' high jump, forward shoulder roll on the dominant side, shot from the mark using basic technique, one-handed standing shot and ball bouncing on fingertips from the middle volleyball position) had lower canonical coefficients in the subcutaneous fatty tissue and body voluminosity measurements, and vice versa. Indicators of redundancy show that motor test variability depends on the variability of the anthropometric measurements, that is to say, that using the system of the anthropometric variables examined one can anticipate 15,23% of common motor variables variance, and using the system of motor variables 19,26% of motor variables variability.

- Relations between cardiovascular and metabolic systems' variables of top-level athletes
- Managing training process of top-level athletes is a complex process. In order to better understand functioning of a human organism during a training process, besides the existence of certain organic systems, one should identify and understand their mutual relations and patterns that exist within and among them. During the research, cardiovascular and metabolic parameters of 65 male subjects, top-level athletes (volley ball, boxing, track and field, soccer) were measured. The aim of the research was to identify relations of the two systems in top-level athletes. The obtained values were subject to canonical correlation analysis, which showed statistically significant mutual correlation between the two systems. Four variables showed canonical factor structure in the area of cardiovascular parameters, while metabolic canonical factor was of considerably lower intensity.

- Relations between morphological characteristics and motorical abilities and results of the skill polygon at pre-school children
- The research has been completed in order to establish relations between measurements of morphological characteristics and some motorical tests and the results of the skill polygon. The sample composed of 50 six years-old (±6 months), pre-school male and female children from two elementary schools in Nis. The sample of measuring instruments consisted of 15 measures considering all four dimensions of morphological characteristics and seven motorical tests. After data processing with regression analysis, the obtained results on multivariant level showed significant relations between morphological characteristics and motorical abilities and the results on skill polygon. The univariant level of regression analysis showed significant relations in the following anthropometric measures of circular dimensions: volume of the upper arm (AONL), volume of the lower leg (AOPK) and body weight (AMAS) and the following motorical tests: MSDM and MKOS.

- Relations between mother's age, the body mass and body length of newborns in Tuzla canton (Bosnia & Herzegovina)
- The objective of the study was to establish if mother's age effects the length, body mass and head circumference of newborns in the Tuzla Canton. The study is retrospective and the data obtained from Gynecology-Obstetrics Clinic were used for it. The testers were born in 2005 year. The sample involved 1830 newborns, 880 females and 950 males. On the basis of the child's birth year and mother's birthday, mothers' age was calculated and categorized in 5 age categories (starting from 15 to 46 years old). It was established that mothers aged from 15 to 20 years deliver children of statistically significant lower average body mass, lower body length and smaller head circumference. Among average values of these measures in all other compared age categories (t-test) differences are present, but they are not significant. .

- Relations between the lengths of maxilla, mandibula and cranial bases in patients with cheilognatopalatoschisis
- Clefts of lip, jaw and palate influence local and general postnatal development greatly. It is generally known that there is a strong connection between the morphological characteristics of neuro- and viscerocranium. The aim of this survey was to analyze the interrelationships between the lengths of maxilla and mandible and the lengths of anterior, posterior and complete cranial base of the patients with complete clefts, compared to those of the patients with neutroocclussion, as well as to determine the correlations between them. Analysis of lateral radiocephalograms of 21 patients with complete clefts, mean age being 9.14 years, and of 24 patients with neutroocclusion, same age, were done. Measurements were conducted according to Schwartz, having taken in consideration the following parameters: lengths of anterior cranial base (Se-N), posterior cranial base (Se- Ba), complete cranial base (N-Ba), lengths of maxilla and mandible, along with the angular measurements of growth patterns (Y-axis). The data were statistically analyzed and compared. Results show that there is a significant correlation between the analyzed parameters that are significantly shorter in patients with clefts, as well as a statistically significant increase of the Y-axis angle in those patients, compared to those with neutroocclusion. The conclusion is that there are great difficulties in achieving the facial harmony and satisfying esthetic results, even though the contemporary and modern treatment methods are used. The cause for that may lie in the fact that the growth disturbances are present in deeper structures of neurocranium as well, and as such, far from our therapeutical reach. .

- Relations between the system of morphological variables and the system of basic motor variables of boys in a football school
- The system of 29 variables, 12 of which were anthropometrical variables and 17 were intended to evaluate basic motor abilities, was applied to the sample of 105 subjects (boys engaged in football). The purpose of research was to determine relations between the system of morphological variables and the system of the basic motor variables. According to the canonic correlation analysis it was determined that the relations between the two systems were of moderate intensity. Based on the structure of relations between the first canonic factor from the system of anthropometrical variables and the first canonic factor from the system of the basic motor variables, it can be concluded that those boys who had bigger skeleton dimensions achieved better results predominantly in tests for evaluation of explosive strength, running endurance and repetitive strength of trunk muscles and vice versa, as they had better mechanisms for excitation intensity, i.e. mobilization speed and intensity of engaging motor units. .

- Relations between the system of specific motor variables and the system of morphological variables of boys in a football school
- The system of 28 variables, 10 of which were motor abilities and 12 anthropometrical variables, was applied to the sample of 105 subjects (boys engaged in football) at the age of 10. The purpose of research was to determine relations between the system of specific motor variables and the system of anthropometrical variables of boys in a football school. By means of a final correlation analysis, it was determined that the relations between the two systems were not statistically significant. However, according to the structure of the relations between the first canonic factor in the field of specific motor abilities and the first canonic factor in the morphological space, it can be concluded that boys of the football school who achieved lower results in all forms of ball kicking, as well as dribbling and running speed with changing direction, were those who had unfavorable morphological dimensions, lower height and more subcutaneous fat tissue. .
