: The influence of increased recreative volleyball classes on students functional abilities; The aim of research was to evaluate the effects of recreative volleyball classes on functional abilities of students from Niš University. Research was done on a sample of 242 students, having recreative volleyball classes, which lasted one semester, or 45 classes. The sample was divided on experimental and control group. Experimental group was having recreative volleyball program, and control group was deverbed of physical activities. The values of functional abilities were followed by using the functional tests, consisted of six variables. Using the multivariate analysis of covariates, neutralizing differences from initial measuring, significant differences were evaluated on a final measuring between groups according to all six variables. Better results were evaluated in experimental group. Results confirmed that experimental recreative volleyball program will give significant effects on functional abilities and that using of this program is recommended for studying program of Universities.

: The influence of morphological characteristics and the motoric abilities onto the situational-motoric abilities in girls attending special high schools in Greece; The sample of 95 examined girls attending special high schools in Ptolemaida and Kozana in Greece, of 16 years of age, has been subjected to anthropometry measurements and testing of motoric and situational-motoric capabilities. The aim of the research was to determine the level of correlation between the morphological characteristics and the motoric capabilities (as a predictor system) and the situational-motoric capabilities (as a criterion system) in schoolgirls. The system of predictor variables was represented by 12 anthropometry measures, 18 motoric and 3 situational-motoric tests. By applying the regression analysis the statistically significant correlation of the predictor and the criterion system was determined.

: The influence of morphological characteristics, basic-motoric onto the special-motoric abilities of football players; On the sample of 63 football players, otherwise elementary school pupils, of 12 years of age, in the cities of Rhodes and Nafraktos in Greece, the anthropometrics measurements, the tests of the basic-motoric and the special-motoric capabilities were carried out. The total of 12 variables were applied, namely, 9 anthropometrics measures, 8 basic-motoric and 2 special-motoric tests. The aim of the research was to identify the correlation (levels, correlation and statistical importance) of the applied anthropometrics measures and the basic-motoric tests in explaining the achieved results in the special-motoric capabilities of the football players for fast running with a change of direction at the right angle at 25 meters and fast running from high running start at 10 meters. The results of the special-motoric capabilities are in a statistically significant way explained by the applied anthropometrics measures and the basic-motoric tests; hence they can be recommended as reliable measuring instruments for children's orientation and choice of football.

: The influence of some morphological characteristics on the shot put results; The goal of the research was to determine the influence of some: morphological characteristics on the shot put results. The sample of the subjects were 17-year old girls. The system of prediction variables was made of 12: morphological characteristics tests. It was determined by a regression analysis that there was remarkable influence of some morphological characteristics on the shot put results.

: The late medieval necropolis Momisici - Podgorica; Archeological and anthropological research at the late-medieval necropolis Momisici-Podgorica shows that this necropolis has devastated one particular burial site from late antiquity; that it is adjacent to an early-Christian locality, and that it remained in function all through the late medieval period, until the modern times. The Momisici cemetery was only recently dislocated from this site, but the Momisici church remained, and a church (Saborni hram, which means, a congregational or Episcopal temple) is now being built there. Sepulchral constructions are mainly of stone slabs vertically stuck into the earth and covered by other, irregularly shaped slabs. The deceased were laid in their graves with their hands crossed on the chest or on the stomach, oriented W-E, in Christian manner. The graves contain very little inventory, a very small number of inside-the-grave items. Anthropological material is very poorly preserved, but anthropometric and anthroposcopic research was performed on it, and indexes calculated. Skeletal population is brachycranial and hyperbrachycranial with an average skull index 87,6. The smallest width of the forehead is quite large; orbits (eye-sockets) are very small, and orbital index is medium. Post-cranial skeleton is gracile. Male skeletons are predominantly euromeric, with weak and medium pilastry, and curiknemic. The calculated bodily height of men varied from 156 to 180 cm, average 170; with women, from 158 to 166, average 162. This late-medieval skeletal population was tall, both sexes. Of the epigenetic features on the skulls, characteristic was frequent presence of Os Inca incompletum and Os Wormi lambdoidea; one complete metopic suture was also found. On the skeletons, pathological changes were studied too, but these do not differ much from the population of those times. One trepanation on a cranium was found.

: The latent structure of anal aggressiveness; The set of 30 Likert scales for the assessment of anal aggressiveness is analyzed by a method for fuzzy classification of standardized results, a method for confirmative analysis of latent structure of this set after transformation to partial image from, and a method of confirmative analysis of this set after the projection in the space spanned by 90 vectors derived from the Likert type scales for the assessment of primary factors of aggressiveness. Two very well defined factor were obtained in all three space, easily interpretable as anal character and anal sadism. Therefore, it seems that primary factors of anal aggressiveness, obtained in the sense of previous researchers, exist independently of other primary factor of aggressiveness.

: The metric characteristics of sprinting tests in the case of high school students; A research of the metric characteristics of sprinting at a distance of 20 and 40 meters on the basis of change and the behavior of multi-item motor measuring instruments was carried out on a sample of 90 female examinees students of the nursing school (a high school) in Niš. The reliability of the items was calculated by means of the Spearman-Brovnov method on the basis of the sizes of the items determination coefficients. Considering the fact that the determined high reliability between a greater number of measurements (particles) on the basis of the first major component HI, (for sprinting at a distance of 20 m-90.3 % and at a distance of 30 m-89.8%), these tests may be considered reliable instruments of sprinting measurement.

: The mutual codependence between motor-abilities and the results of a running start depth-jump carried out with a step technique; The aim of this research was to determine the mutual co-dependence between motor abilities (as a predictor system) and the results of the depth jump performed with a step technique (as a criterion variable) in the case of the students of the Mixed School Centre in Banja Luka. The motor abilities represented the latent dimensions of segmentary speed and explosive type strength, evaluated by means of three manifestation variables. By means of a regression analysis in the latent and manifestation area, a significant connection between the predictor and the criterion was detected.

: The nature of connection of some components of the attitude of students' towards the P.E. classes; This work is based on the analysis of the results of the survey on the attitude of high school students towards their P.E. classes. The survey was done on the sample of 421 students from the first and the third grade from the secondary schools in Sombor and Apatin. The nature of the connection between the valuable and affective, valuable and connective, affective and connective component of the attitude was cheeked by the coefficient of contingence. Statistically significant connection, between the valuable and affective component of the attitude was found. The connection, is also statistically significant between affective and connective component of the attitude while no statistically significant connection was found between the valuable and the connective component of the attitude.

: The position of knee diameter within the structure of other morphological characteristics of women; Due to a particular position of the knee-diameter variable, which, when analyzed together with other anthropometric variables, behaved unusually under various factorial, canonic and taxonomic models, the authors have decided to perform a regression analysis of the same variable within the space of other anthropometric variables, such as: body size, horizontal circumference of the head, vertical circumference of the head, transversal circumference of the head, transversal diameter of the head, wrist diameter biacromial and bicrystal diameter, arm length, leg foot length, food width supramammillaiy chest circumference, submammillary chest circumference abdomen circumference, hips circumference, circumference of the fore-arm circumference of the arm, circumference of the calf, circumference of the thigh, bideltoid range, cheek skin depth, chin skin depth, skin depth of the fore-arm, skin depth of the scapula, armpit skin depth, chest skin depth abdomen skin depth, hip skin depth, patella skin depth, popliteal skin depth, skin depth of the calf and body mass. The relationships were tested on a sample consisting of 308 healthy females, aged 19...27. Almost all anthropometric variables had significant correlation with the knee-diameter variable, especially body mass, circumference of the thigh, circumference of the thigh and both circumferences of the chest. Body mass made by far the most significant partial contribution to the regression factor... its multiple correlation with the knee-diameter variable was 0.84. Other significant positive contributions were made by circumference of the calf transversal diameter of the head, wrist diameter, biciystal range, chest skin depth and hip skin depth, while abdomen circumference, biacromial range and cheek skin depth acted as significant negative suppressors. The authors have concluded that the female knee appears as a significant indicator of the overall body size and development. The results could be explained by the fact that the epicondyle femur (the most massive distal part of the bone-system) is the most representative element for all mesodermic tissues while the knee (the most heavily strained articulation) remains the most representative indicator of the growth of the overall body mass.

: The predictive value of morphological characteristics on repetitive strength results in the case of young handball players; A sample numbering 34 examinees was extracted from the population of elementary school students in Teslic, aged 13, ± 6 months, who had participated in a three-year training programme as part of the school's handball section. The aim of the research was to determine the predictive value of the anthropological measures of the latent dimensions of volume and body mass (as a predictor system) on the result efficiency of the latent dimension of repetitive strength defined by the push-up and squat variables. By means of a regression analysis it was determined that a statistically significant result prediction of repetitive strength exists at the multivariate and univariate level in the case of young handball players.
