The results of numerous medical studies and kinesiology research show the existence of differences in the lung function with reference to age, body height and the ratio of certain parameters of body composition. The aim of this research is to determine the status of morphological characteristics and the lung function with the pilots of Montenegro Army. The sample of examinees consisted of 30 military pilots of the age 36.3±11. The sample of measures was made of 4 indicators for the assessment of longitudinal dimension, transverse dimension, body mass and volume, subcutaneous fat, body composition and lung function. Central and dispersion variables parameters were calculated. The specificities of the body height of pilots as well as the excessiveness in their body weight were calculated, while the parameters of lung volumes and capacities and the parameters of the flow of respiratory passageways have shown the satisfactory condition of their respiratory function. In addition, it was shown that the pilots are soldiers without individual medical risks in the sense of obesity appearance or obstructive ventilation disturbances. The obtained results indicate the need to conduct research in which the effect of certain morphological measures and parameters of the pilot’s body composition to their lung function would be dominantly studied. In that way we would obtain significant data both for the military organisation in the sense of promoting the training system and realization of target tasks, and for the kinesiology science from the aspect of determining certain regularities of the functioning of human body in specific life and work conditions in the army.

Restricting movement for the population and the impact of preventative measures due to the COVID-19 pandemic have spurred research interests in analyzing the healthy lifestyle of the student population. The aim of the study was to examine gender differences between students in physical activity, and the perceptions of physical fitness and well-being during lock-down due to COVID-19. The sample consisted of male (n=268; 25.9%; age 22.56±2.12) and female students (n=768; 74.1%; age 22.12±1.73) at the University of Sarajevo (UNSA). The questionnaire included questions and scales constructed to measure: physical activity, physical fitness, and the acute effects on well-being. χ² independence test were used to determine gender differences (p<0.05). Prior to the declaration of the COVID-19, there was a significant difference in the level of regular physical activity between male and female students at UNSA (p<.01). The data indicated that at that time 65% of male students were regularly physically active, while 45% of female students had regular physical activity. During the lock-down measures at UNSA: 46% of male and 40% of female students reported being regularly physically active and no significant differences were found in relation to gender (p>.05); 65% of male and 58% of female students reported a decline in physical fitness and significant gender differences were found (p<.05). After exercising male students reported better concentration and mood, more energy and motivation, and less nervousness in the range of 62–79%, while female students reported better concentration and mood, more energy and motivation, and less nervousness in the range of 62-81%. No significant differences were found in the physical activity acute effects on students' well-being in relation to gender (p>.05). Although gender differences in physical activity disappeared during the early phase of COVID-19 and lockdown measures, a more pronounced decrease in physical fitness was present in female students. The reported physical activity had equally positive acute effects on students' well-being.

The aim of this pilot study is to determine the kinematic elements of the free throw shooting technique among wheelchair basketball players from various classes. Three wheelchair basketball players from the wheelchair basketball club “Nais” took part in the study. The players were classified from IWBF classification 1, 3 and 4.5. All of the participants were right-handed. Free throw shooting recording were made with a fixed camera with a 1920 x 1080р resolution, 30 frames per s, positioned at a height of 1.20 m on the right side of the players facing the basket, at a distance of 7.5 m and 25 cm behind the free throw line. The “Kinovea” video program was used to process the results and the kinematic data for the free throw shooting technique of wheelchair basketball players. The kinematic parameters indicate differences in the performance of the free throw shooting technique among wheelchair basketball players from class 1, 3 and 4.5. A difference in successful throws between the participants from class 1, 3 and 4.5: the angle of ball release 50°, 52° and 47°, velocity of ball release 7.58 m/s, 6.25 m/s and 7.27 m/s, and height of ball release 164.49 cm, 180.71 cm and 190.86 cm, while the temporal parameters and angles of the elbow had the same values. We can conclude that for the successful performance of the free throw shooting technique a basketball player needs to achieve greater height of ball release in the final position.

Practice of sport, exercise or recreational physical activity increase the needs of energy and nutrients. Objectives are: 1) to evaluate BMI; 2) to assess the nutritional status; and 3) to test the association between BMI and KIDMED index. The study is realized on a sample of healthy young participants (N=101), aged 18 – 35, that do recreational sport activities such as: football (N=24), basketball (N=16), handball (N=15), volleyball (N=20), tennis (N=10), swimming (N=10) and martial arts (N=9). Body composition: height, weight, and BMI, were measured and calculated according to World Health Organization’s manual. A 16-item KIDMED questionnaire was used to assess nutritional status. KIDMED index was calculated after the KIDMED questionnaire was administered to all participants. Spearman’s rank correlation coefficient was applied to test the association between BMI and KIDMED index. We have assessed an optimal diet - medium quality, in physically active population that is involved in recreational sport such as: football, basketball, handball, volleyball, tennis, swimming and martial arts, and a normal healthy weight category based on BMI classification criteria of World Health Organization. In addition, we have found a weak positive association between BMI and KIDMED index in physically active population, that was not statistically significant. The outcome of the study indicates that most of the people that are regularly involved in physical activity have a decent nutritional awareness, as a result of the nutritional counseling they get from their coaches. It seems that recreational collective activities and sports, besides allowing people to gain knowledge about healthy eating skills and nutritional habits, also encourage them to bring the required changes in their diets. The impact of physical activity may be a promising area for future promotion of nutrition and health.

Lack of sleep is the risk factor for a cardiovascular event and low cardiorespiratory endurance. Medical college students are more frequent in experiencing a lack of sleep due to their duty. This study evaluated the correlation between lack of sleep and cardiorespiratory endurance test results in medical college students. This cross-sectional study involved sixty-two males, medical college students. Sleep duration of two weeks was assessed using a validated questionnaire. Queen College Step test was employed for a cardiorespiratory endurance test. Spearman rank test was employed to evaluate the correlation between variables, while logistic regression was applied to assess the possibility of having a good VO2max. SPSS version 19 was used to process the data and perform a statistical test. Significance was set at p<0.05. The mean sleep duration was 6.2 hours, with more students having insufficient sleep duration (51 participants). The mean VO2max was 50.4 ml/kg/min, with more students having good VO2max (50 participants). Spearman rank test indicated the weak correlation between age and sleep (r=0.2, p=0.04) and a moderate correlation between physical activity and VO2max (r=0.43, p<0.01). No correlation between sleep and VO2max result (p=0.07). Logistic regression showed sufficient physical activity is associated with 14.5 times possibility of having good VO2max (95% CI 2.7-77.8, p=0.02). The correlation between sleep and the VO2max result was not evident. Instead, sleep was associated with students’ age while VO2max with sufficient physical activity.

Physical education plays an important role in developing motor abilities, skills and competence in children. Main objective is to evaluate the effectiveness of physical education curriculum by assessing in 9 th grade school- children: (1) abdominal muscle strength; (2) lower back muscle strength; (3) upper limbs muscle strength; (4) lower limbs muscle strength; (5) explosive leg power; and (6) flexibility of the lower back and hamstring muscles, at the beginning, and at the end of the school term. Basic mathematical and appropriate statistical methods were used in order to calculate descriptive statistical parameters, Skewness and Kurtosis values, as well as Kolmogorov- Smirnov test, were used in order to examine whether data have a normal distribution, and a Student’s t-test was applied in order to test if there is a statistically significant difference in children’s motor abilities between the beginning and the end of the school term. For this purpose, we used Microsoft Office Excel 2010. At the end of the second school term, children in 9 th grade have shown better results in all assessed variables, meaning they have increased motor ability levels after 4 months of applying specific exercises within the thematic plan of the physical education curriculum, which leads to the conclusion that physical education curriculum allows us to introduce effective tasks in increasing strength, explosive power and flexibility in 9 th grade school children.

The main goal of this research was to determine the differences in nutritional levels between sixth grade female students from Central, Northern and Southern region of Montenegro. The sample consisted of 43 girls aged 11- 12 years, who were divided into 3 subsamples, according to the criterion of place of residence. The following variables were measured: body height, body weight, and waist circumference. Level of nutrition was calculated using two indices body mass index and waist-to-height ratio index, which are presented numerically and in percentages. Basic central and dispersion parameters were calculated for each variable. Differences in nutrition levels between regions were calculated by the Chi square test. According to the results, female students from the Northern region are more obese than the other two regions. Also, not too worrying percentages of obese children have been obtained, but we should definitely work on its prevention and prevention of its occurrence.

The research covers studies with a focus on the sports sciences issues published in the period from 2002 to 2019. Google Scholar, Scopus, and Web of Science (the electronic databases) were searched for articles available until September 22, 2021. Results were summarized according to the instructions of PRISMA guidelines and present the number of citations, h-index, i10-index and the number of articles by the authors. The study results shows that researchers from the field of sports sciences publish multiple publications in 2021 compared to 2002. In Google scholar database citation rate is highest, and span from 596 and 14959. On the other side, the same researchers were cited quite less in Scopus and Web of Science databases. When we talk about Montenegrin journals, three are registered in the Google Scholar Database. The Sport Mont journal is the most cited one with the highest h-index (44); the Montenegrin Journal of Sports Science and Medicine is the best ranked Montenegrin journal according to the bibliometric data from the Scopus and Web of Science databases; the Journal of Anthropology of Sport and Physical Education have constant progress in the last years. It was indicated the highest impact was recognized in the last four years, according to citations of available articles published by Montenegrin authors. Also, the number of published articles in the last four year is significant, and progress can be expected in the future.
本研究的目的是分析黑山研究人员在体育科学领域的科学生产力,以及黑山体育科学期刊的出版趋势。该研究涵盖了2002年至2019年期间发表的以体育科学问题为重点的研究。谷歌学者、Scopus和科学网(电子数据库)搜索了截至2021年9月22日的可用文章。结果根据PRISMA指南的说明进行了总结,并显示了作者的引用次数、h指数、i10指数和文章数量。研究结果显示,与2002年相比,体育科学领域的研究人员在2021年发表了多篇出版物。在谷歌学者数据库中,引用率最高,介于596和14959之间。另一方面,Scopus和Web of Science数据库中引用的研究人员较少。当我们谈论黑山期刊时,有三种在谷歌学者数据库中注册。《运动山》杂志是被引用次数最多、h指数最高的杂志(44);根据Scopus和Web of Science数据库的文献计量数据,《黑山运动科学与医学杂志》是排名最好的黑山期刊;《体育人类学杂志》近年来不断发展。根据黑山作者发表的现有文章的引用,这表明在过去四年中,人们认识到了最高的影响。此外,过去四年发表的文章数量可观,未来有望取得进展。

People with intellectual disabilities (ID) make up about 2% of the total population, in addition to the cognitive and social problems which they face, physical abilities are at a very low level, during life. At the same time, people with ID show deficits in motor status which is associated with poor perception of information and inability to execute movements and with constant variation of body status indicators. The aim of this detailed review was to summarize previous works that examined the effects that regular physical activity has on motor and physical status in ID. The following index databases were used to collect adequate literature: GoogleScholar, PubMed, SciIndex, ResearchGate, MEDLINE. A systematic review of the available literature was performed in accordance with the guidelines of the Preferred Reports for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analysis (PRISMA). The training processes of people with ID are adapted to the level of disability. Research that has studied the effects of adequate and regular physical activity highlights the importance of these programs in reducing the consequences and improving the quality of life of this population, improving motor skills and body composition, in the future this knowledge should be combined with the benefits of nutritional programs to see the overall effects on motor skills and body composition in people with ID, so future research examining long-term positive sides is necessary.
