The research topicality is needed to diagnose in time and correct properly athletes’ autonomic dysfunction (especially among sportspeople with pre-pathological states). The study of latent hemodynamic changes and detection of dysautonomia among prehypertension athletes (particularly those who train heavily) is a promising way to raise sportsmen’s health and achievements. The research purpose is a hemodynamic profile study of athletes with office prehypertension during different training macrocycle periods. Methods. The research comprised 30 athletes of acyclic activity. Their average age was 23.1 (2.71) years. Females were nine individuals (30%). We monitored arterial blood pressure and heart rate in each macrocycle period, carried out the dysautonomia test and established anamnesis and complaints. Results. For prehypertension athletes, the most challenging moment was the competition period. Therefore, the systolic arterial hypertension rate within preparation, competitive and transition training periods was 17%, 47% and 7% (χ2=14.53; р0.001) while the diastolic one was 17%, 37% and 7% respectively (χ2=8.75; р=0.012). Significantly, we observed an increasing possibility of arterial blood pressure rise over normal values among dysautonomia athletes during the competition period (RR=3.27 (р=0.01); OR=8.33 (р=0.006)). However, during the preparation and recovery periods, arterial hypertension possibility was not significant (р0.05). Conclusions. In the competition period of training macrocycle is highly expectable development of arterial hypertension of latent course in athletes with office prehypertension. Besides, the relative risk of latent arterial hypertension in extra-training time increases if there are other symptoms of dysautonomia, but these changes are not persistent. However, their proper diagnosing and correcting may lead to athletes’ better health and achievements.

The aim of the research is to determine the relations and influences of motor abilities on the performance of some elements of the basketball techniques in the 7th and 8th graders. The study included 85 respondents, students of 7th and 8th grade of elementary school “Prekounje” from Bihać. The motor status assessment system was represented by the 12 variables (three variables each to assess coordination, explosive strength, flexibility and speed), while 4 situational-motoric tests were used to assess the success of the performance of the elements of basketball techniques: 1. Throwing the ball with both hands against the wall and catching it for 30 seconds (BHLR30), 2. Dribbling the ball with the hand in a slalom (VLRS), 3. Throwing the ball into the basket for 30 seconds (ULK30), 4. Lay-ups for 30 seconds (PNK30). Basic central and dispersion parameters were calculated for all variables which confirmed the normality of the distribution, and the relations between spaces were determined by using the canonical correlation analysis. Values obtained by canonical correlation analysis indicate very high correlation between basic motor abilities and basketball skills.

The aim of the study was to determine the differences in cardiorespiratory fitness, parents’ body mass index, birth weight between a group of children with normal and overweight / obesity and to determine how much the studied variables affect the risk of their biological offspring being overweight. The research was conducted on a sample of 1096 respondents, aged 6 to 10 years, randomly drawn from several primary schools in the Skopje region. The sample is divided into two sub-samples according to gender, 496 male respondents and 600 female respondents. Cardiorespiratory fitness was assessed with the 20m shuttle run test according to the procedures described in FITNESSGRAM. The children were classified into two groups, based on the percentages of the body mass index, according to the IOTF standard. The birth weight of the children was assessed from the pediatric records of each child at birth. The condition of overweight / obese parents was defined according to the classification of the World Health Organization. Data on the education of parents (especially mothers and fathers) were collected through a questionnaire.. The prevalence of overweight and obesity in this study was 22.6% and 14.9%, for the entire sample of respondents without statistically significant gender differences. The results of the research indicate the connection between obesity of parents and their children. Furthermore, the results suggest that low cardiorespiratory fitness and high birth weight are predictors of OV / OB in childhood.

The Wingate test is a widely spread test of anaerobic endurance and power in most sports. However, the standard model of the test is based upon a bicycle ergometer for evaluation of lower extremities, therefore, is poorly used in sports that demand a high level of upper body power. This research aims to determine the metric characteristics of the newly constructed arm crank Wingate test. The sample of participants is junior water polo players of VK Mornar Brodospas from Split, Croatia. Mean chronological age is 17-19 years and all participants participated in the test voluntarily. Results are showing a satisfactory level of reliability, homogeneity, and sensibility of measuring instrument and good application in sports such as water polo. Further research should include a bigger sample of participants and athletes from different sports.

The aim of the study was to determine the impact of a 16-week Pilates program on the mobility of middle-aged women. The research involved 16 Pilates female exercisers who have been practicing this recreational exercise for at least a year, three times a week. Shoulder Circumduction Test, V Sit and Reach Test, Groin Flexibility Test, Back Scratch Test and Calf Muscle Flexibility Test were used to assess flexibility. In addition to descriptive parameters, repeated-measures ANOVA and Fisher LSD were used in the analysis. 16-week Pilates program has had a positive effect on changes in mobility in female exercisers both in the upper part of the body, in the area of the shoulder girdle (p .05), and in the lower part of the body, in the area of the pelvic girdle and hip joint (p .05). There were no statistically significant changes in plantar flexion. It can be concluded that the Pilates program effectively affects the improvement of flexibility in the shoulder region and the pelvic girdle and hip joint, while in plantar flexors of the feet a statistically significant improvement in the level of mobility under the influence of Pilates exercise was not observed.

Core muscles have multiple benefits for athletes and non-athletes, such as their importance in improving motor performance and preventing injuries. Judo players perform various movements during training or matches, such as bending, rotation, and flexion, which depend heavily on the muscles around the torso as well as the balance requirements during throwing to reach the optimal position of the throw. This study aimed to verify the effectiveness of intense training during the preparation period to strengthen the core muscles on the static balance of the judo players. In total, 24 judo players participated in the study to form two groups: an experimental group (12 players), who were trained via intense core muscle workouts (8 exercises) according to specific instructions (three times per week / 6 weeks), and a control group (12 players), who were trained on various muscle groups (three times per week / 6 weeks). The Flamingo test (European Fitness Test–Euro Fit) was applied to measure the static balance of the players (pretest–posttest). The results showed an improvement in the static balance for both groups, the comparison between the two groups showed the experimental group indicated statistically significant changes (p 0.05) than the control group in terms of static balance because of core muscle strengthening workouts. The results obtained confirm the effectiveness of core muscle strengthening workouts in improving the static balance of judo players. Therefore, coaches can use these workouts during the preparation period and can manage training loads according to the characteristics of the players by regularly measuring the static balance through field or laboratory, results of this tests can be help in planning training programs.
核心肌肉对运动员和非运动员都有很多好处，比如它们在提高运动表现和预防受伤方面的重要性。柔道运动员在训练或比赛中进行各种动作，如弯曲，旋转和弯曲，这些动作在很大程度上依赖于躯干周围的肌肉以及投掷过程中的平衡要求，以达到最佳的投掷位置。本研究旨在验证柔道运动员在赛前准备阶段进行高强度训练以增强核心肌群对静态平衡的影响。共有24名柔道运动员参与了这项研究，分为两组:实验组(12名)，根据特定的指导进行核心肌肉的高强度训练(8次)(每周3次/ 6周);对照组(12名)，进行不同肌肉群的训练(每周3次/ 6周)。采用Flamingo test (European Fitness test - euro Fit)测试球员的静态平衡性(前测后测)。结果显示，两组在静态平衡方面均有改善，两组比较，实验组由于核心肌群的强化训练，在静态平衡方面比对照组有统计学意义(p 0.05)的变化。结果证实了核心肌强化训练对提高柔道运动员静态平衡的有效性。因此，教练员可以在准备阶段使用这些训练，并根据运动员的特点，定期通过现场或实验室测量静平衡来管理训练负荷，这些测试的结果可以帮助制定训练计划。

The aim of this research is to determine the differences in participants’ overall anxiety and its factors before and after the motor skill learning process. A sample consisted of 96 examinees, college students who attended 3 learning sessions of a handspring vault in a crouch position. Students estimated their own anxiety by a questionnaire on a scale 1 – 4 at the beginning of the learning process and before the third session. Total anxiety is constructed of 3 factors: somatic, cognitive and self-confidence. The results showed that the highest manifestation of student’s anxiety was in the self-confidence referring to the highest (the worst) result, then in cognitive factor and the lowest in somatic factor. The average overall student’s anxiety reduced from 2.26 to 1.83, and the reduction (improvement) is manifested in all three anxiety factors. Anxiety reduction could be affected by adaptation processes, higher level of motor skill performance, controlled condition in the learning process, and interaction of all mentioned. The conclusion is that the motor learning can reduce the skill-related anxiety so it is recommended that high-anxiety participants are retained in the learning process.
