- The differences in postural disorders involving lower extremities in adolescents grouped according to their morphological characteristics
- Using the sample group of male respondents (161) aged 15 (± 6 months), lower extremities posture was evaluated, while some basic anthropometric measures were gathered. Posture was evaluated using a modified method by Napoleon Wolanski (Radisavljević, 2001), by means of which the data were retrieved regarding lower extremities and feet (genu varum, genu valgum, genu recurvatum, pes planus). The aim of the research is to diagnose postural disorders in adolescents and establish differences among the groups of respondents grouped according to their morphological characteristics. The frequency of occurrence in postural disorders was calculated by means of a nonparametric statistical procedure of frequency. Factor analysis was used in order to single out two factors based on which the whole sample was further divided into two groups using cluster analysis. The results thus obtained point at a significant frequency rate of postural disorders at this age, where 39 of the respondents have disorders involving lower extremities, while 63 of the respondents have fallen arches.

- The differences in postural disorders of the frontal plane in adolescents grouped according to their morphological characteristics
- Using the sample group of male respondents (161) aged 15 (± 6 months), spinal posture in the frontal plane was evaluated, while some basic anthropometric measures were gathered. Posture was evaluated using a modified method by Napoleon Wolanski (Radisavljević, 2001), by means of which the data were retrieved regarding spine, head, shoulders and shoulder blades postures, pelvis and 'the triangles' formed by the sideways curve to the spine and an arm. The aim of the research is to diagnose postural disorders in adolescents and establish differences among the groups of the respondents grouped according to their morphological characteristics. The frequency of occurrence in postural disorders was calculated by means of a nonparametric statistical procedure of frequency. Factor analysis was used in order to single out two factors based on which the whole sample was further divided into two groups using cluster analysis. Analysing the differences between the groups of respondents no statistically significant differences were found.

- The dynamics of speed development of athlete and non-athlete boys 12-16 years-old
- We studied the effects of physical activity on the dynamics of speed development on the sample of 530 boys aged 12-16. Of this number, 110 trained judo in various judo clubs throughout the Serbian province of Vojvodina, while the other 420 were sedentary boys from four major towns in the province. The study was conducted as a part of the Faculty of Sport and Physical Education project entitled 'Anthropological status of the residents of Vojvodina'. A single motor skills assessment was performed across all ages: the 20-m run. The results suggest that there is a steady development of speed with age in either group. The oldest participants showed the best performance, confirming that speed appears to develop progressively until 18 years of age or so.

- The effect of interval (HIIT) aerobic training on acute muscle damage in woman basketball players related to continuous aerobe training
- During intense exercise, especially professional athletes, the muscles are temporarily tired and can be weakened, and sometimes days are needed for the muscle to recover. The aim of this study was to determine the muscle fatigue of the basketball player following the stress of two types of aerobic training by monitoring the biochemical parameters of muscle damage during the training process. As part of the longitudinal, experimental study, a sample of 12 basketball players, a life span of 14 to 28 years old, was selected, with a sports experience lasting at least five years. The trial was conducted at the pre-match phase, where the subjects had two training sessions per day. The spacing between the two sampling was 14 days, where the first sampling was done after continuous aerobic training and other sampling was done after an intermittent aerobic (HIIT) training. The parameters that were determined were creatine kinase, myoglobin, troponin and lactate. Analyzed groups in relation to the type of training interventions statistically differ significantly from the results in the test in all parameters (p=0.05), except in troponin I, before and after each training intervention and as well as in relation to the type of training. Using HIIT training does not disturb the homeostasis of the organism more than in other training of greater intensity and volume, and the benefits of such exercise are multiple.

- The effect of programmed swimming instruction on morphological characteristics of pupils
- The aim of this study was to determine statistically significant positive effect that regular classes of physical education with the simultaneous additional sport activities have on 11-year old pupils (±6 months). The sample of 100 subjects was divided into two subsamples. The sample of 50 subjects consisted of pupils who only had regular classes of phusical education at school. The second subsample of 50 subjects consisted of pupils who, apart from the regular physical education classes at school also had the experimental programme of training for non-swimmer, 24 hours total (twice a week, for 45 minutes). The evaluate the morphological characteristics, a seto of five variables was applied. The obtained results indicate a statistically significant difference between the control and the experimental group in the following variables: the body mass index with the level of p =.003, and the body fat with the level of p =.043. According to the results, swimming classes can be an efficient means for reducing the fat level in school children. This kind of research can be a starting point for further research focused on various water activities, which will include both sexes, a larger sample of subjects, a greater number of swimming classes, as well as to examine the differences between the pupils who take swimming lessons and their peers who are in the training process for swimmers.

- The effect of skull malpositioning on superimposition (sp
- Skull/photograph superimposition is the most prevalent method by which unknown skulls are being identified, since a photograph of the suspected dead person can be easily obtained from the victim's family. This process is usually carried out manually by forensic anthropologists; thus being very time consuming and presenting several difficulties in finding a good fit between the 3D model of the skull and the 2D photo of the face. The most delicate part of the work was the correct positioning of the scull on the stand, and a proportional magnifying of the scull photograph. The Adobe®Photoshop® 7.0. computer program is used during the experiments. After being incorporated in the computer memory, digitalized photographs of the scull and face were put one over the other and showed on the monitor in order to determine their possible congruence or differences. A special attention was paid to the congruence of the same anthropometrical spots of the scull with the face, as well as to following their contours. The process of fitting the skull into the photograph is usually started by positioning the eyes in correct relation to the orbits. The skull must not be broader or longer than the soft tissue on the photograph, and the chin, mouth, nose, ears and so on, should be in their correct positions. All difficulties, associated with the superposition process were recorded, with the special attention to the critical evaluation of negative and positive superimposition. The superposition was carried out using 4 antemortem made face photograhs of the missing person. This work was fully illustrated with pictures showing all stages of the work, by chronological and logical order.

- The effects of an experimental program of motor strength on the adaptive processes of the functional abilities and coordination of selected judoists
- Our sample numbered 46 participants, elementary school children, aged 13 ± 6 months, selected from a population of young judoists from Pale. The aim of the research was to determine the effects of an experimental program of motor strength on the adaptive processes of functional abilities and coordination of selected judoists. The results of the of the canonical discriminant analysis showed that by using an experimental program of motor strength consisting of 24 classes eventually led to a statistically significant increase in the level of functional abilities and coordination of the participants.

- The effects of programmed exercises on the spinal column posture in the eight-year-olds in Novi Sad
- The project 'Exercise to Promote Proper Posture', was designed in order to include children into a continuous and programmed corrective work at a very early stage, with the aim of preventing improper body posture. The project was financed by Novi Sad City Council for Sport and Youth. The aim of the investigation paper was to determine the effects of this kind of work on posture of the spinal column in young schoolchildren. The method used: Students of both sexes aged 8 ± 6 months underwent a continuous and systematic corrective work during the period between September and December 2008. Using the method of somatoscopy the posture of the spinal column was assessed. Descriptive statistics was used in order to determine numerical and percentage occurrence of postural disorders of the spinal column, while Pearson's chi-square (%2) test was used to determine the differences with respect to gender. Wilcoxon Signed Ranks Test, as a non-parametrical procedure, was used in order to determine differences in the case of absolute values of the differences among the variables. The results: A statistically significant difference was observed between the initial and final assessment (in favor of the final one) in the case of postures of shoulder blades and of the thoracic segment of the spinal column, which indicates kyphotic bad posture. In other segments of the spinal column no statistically significant differences were observed. .

- The effects of the anthropometric characteristics on the motor efficiency of the Military Academy students during schooling
- The aim of this paper is to purpose of this research is to define the effect of the anthropometric characteristics on the motor efficiency of the Military Academy students, 120 in total, at the beginning of their schooling (aged 20 six months up or down) and at the end of their schooling (aged 23 six months up or down). All together nine tests have been chosen to evaluate the anthropometric characteristics and three tests to evaluate the motor efficiency. The motor efficiency has been defined on the basis of the results made in solving specific military motor capability: a long jump and an assault course, and which are derived from certain forms of a physical training of the students as it is said in the curriculum. On the basis of a regression analysis it has been defined that the anthropometric characteristics successfully show motor efficiency during schooling.

- The examination of the effects of the gymnastics teaching of physical education on speed of young elementary school girls
- By different moving activities, learning about their body and its mothoric, a child develops its mothoric, acquires different motoric skills and habits and develops motoric activities. In this work, the subject of the research is just one segment of the anthropological area which refers to the appearance of appropriate motor abilities-speed. The research involved a total sample of 212 girls from the 3th and 4th grade of elementary school. The subjects were classified in three experimental and one control groups. The experimental groups were practicing according to planning instruction where the artistic, rhythmic and developmental gymnastics had the primary part. The control group of 48 students was practicing according to official instructional plan and program for P.E. of the Republic of Serbia. At the beginning of the academic year, initial (first) measurement was performed, followed by experimental final (second) measurement at the end of experiment. Research data was processed using SPSS standard statistics procedure. The multi-variant procedures were used in this research ant those were: the multi-variant analysis of the variable MANCOVA i MANOVA. Also, the mono-variant procedures were used and those were: the variable analysis ANCOVA, ANOVA and the interval of entrust. Considering the difference of the influence of treatments, it can be pointed out that the experimental programs, with all its characteristics, widely contributed to all its segments to the improvement of speed.
