The modern way of life, which is characterized by insufficient movement, most often leads to poor posture. Children and young people exercise less and less and spend more and more time in passive sitting and lying positions. Such habits take them away from their natural needs for movement (hypokinesis) and significantly reduce most of their physical and functional abilities. The question is why do so many children sit with such poor posture? Habit is one of the main reasons, but not the only factor of poor posture when sitting. The article especially discusses the environment factors that may indicate the causes of improper posture, and occur during school: several hours of sitting in school desks, a large number of classes, short breaks, dysfunctional and inadequate classroom furniture, insufficient lighting of the work surface, heavy school bags and improper way of carrying one. Due to the influence of various factors: family, preschools, schools, and others in the formation of proper posture, it is necessary to create a system of preventative measures from an early age, which includes educating children. Prevention not only affects school success but also changes the attitude towards oneself, peers, and other people, which contributes to the development of positive traits and characteristics of the person and their successful socialization.

When it comes to a sport such as boxing, motor abilities are often in significant correlation with the morphological status of a competitive or recreational boxer. All the factors that affect the result of motor abilities in boxing are directed, in great deal, towards morphological status (with an aspiration to achieve an ideal boxing category in case of competitive boxers). The main aim of this research was to examine the differences in the motor abilities and morphological characteristics between competitive boxers and recreational boxers. The sample of respondents consisted of 10 senior boxers from the BC ‘Crvena Zvezda‘. The assessment of motor abilities of competitive boxers and recreational boxers was made using five tests from the Eurofit battery of tests and with one test for coordination assessment. Data were processed by means of descriptive statistical analysis, as well as the Mann Whitney U test which was used to test the difference of group respondents on the level of statistical significance p<0.05. The results of this research showed that competitive boxers achieved significantly better results on three out of six tests for the assessment of motor abilities. When it comes to morphological characteristics of competitive boxers and recreational boxers, there were no significant differences. The results of the research show that more intense boxing training contributes to better manifestation of certain motor skills.

Revenues generated by football clubs belonging to one of the socalled "The Big Five" leagues (England, Germany, Spain, Italy and France) give a strong argument by claiming that modern football has become a very organized, but also profitable business. In the football clubs of the mentioned European countries, the most famous players of today are "super heroes" and they are the reason why massive numbers of football fans visit football stadiums. All players, who today identify themselves as elite athletes, were at the beginning of their sports careers merely talented individuals with more or less pronounced psycho-physical predispositions for playing sports. This paper will present the basic characteristics of the profession of professional scouts as one of the key persons in recognizing talents and their transformation into top athletes. Also, the paper emphasizes the necessary skills that these sports experts should possess, but also points out the importance of decisionmaking in terms of often difficult and complicated decisions in the process of identifying talented individuals in sports.

Tourism is an important base of the country's socio-economic and cultural development. Tourism development strategies involve factors that the society applies to make the best use of its benefits or neutralize the problems it creates in their economies. As every economic subject aims at achieving effectiveness and efficiency, tourism management is tasked with responding to current challenges, and connecting service providers to users so as to achieve mutual satisfaction. Decision-making in tourism is particularly complex when events (cultural, sports…) are held in protected areas and national parks, which attract tourists the most. Since the capacities of a tourist destination often do not meet the needs of constant, accelerated growth of the number of visitors, sustainable development becomes a professional challenge for tourism destination management, and it is often a source of problems for tour operators or governments. A lack of resources, pollution, security, numerous risks…, are some of the factors that may reduce tourism profits or contribute to losses. This paper explores certain aspects of strategies that can bring benefits for visitors, organizers and the society as a whole, in accordance with the achieved level of overall economic, social and cultural development. The paper also points out the concerns, problems, codes and strategies that affect the final product, as an aspect of engagement in the quality management process in tourism.

In mitigating the negative effects of technological development and modern lifestyle, it is necessary to apply proper models of physical activity programs oriented towards health and prevention. The application of such models enables an efficient optimization of functional capacities, the preservation and enhancement of health, as well as an elimination and mitigation of health issues. Lately, Nordic walking is being used as a sports-recreational activity and a health and prevention technique. In this research, the sample of respondents consisted of women aged 30-40. The total number of respondents comprised 28 individuals (N=28). The applied Nordic walking experimental program lasting three times a week over three months resulted in a change in the results of the functional capacities. Testing differences between the initial and final measuring of the effects of functional capacities of the applied program show a significant statistical difference corresponding to a significant level of p<0.05 in all examined variables (vital capacity - FVITKP, heart rate in state of inactivity - FFSRCM, pulse in state of activity - FFSRCR, systolic blood pressure - FTASI, diastolic blood pressure - FTADI, relative oxygen consumption - VO2 max, Stange test - PŠ, Romberg test - PR). The aim of this research is to evaluate the effects of the three-month long Nordic walking program on the functional capacities of women aged 30-40.

Within the qualifications for the FIFA World Cup in Brazil in 2014, two football matches were played between Serbia and Croatia. Due to complex international relations between Serbia and Croatia, there were many controversies about the matches. Through the analysis of the articles from Kurir and Večernji list (as an example of yellow and tabloid press of both countries) and articles from Politika and Index.hr (as an example of more professional approach to journalism) the article critically regards the nature of press reports about those two matches. Exceeding the phenomenon of football, hostile, nationalistic, chauvinistic and sensationalistic implications were present in the press alongside numerous historical connotations. Such method of journalism has profound consequences, firstly for the progress of the entire sports culture in Serbia as well as in Croatia, and secondly it affects the decrease of long-lasting international tensions and hostilities.

Japan is a capitalist country that puts profit at the center of the organization of industrial relations, but puts the "man" at the center of the organization of society and, accordingly, attaches great importance to human resources. Sport, as part of a healthy lifestyle, is one of the ways to promote longevity in Japan. In addition to many other elements, it contributes to a higher quality of life along with a particular diet. In Japan, stress is present because change is part of everyday life, and in the elimination of stress, it helps the sport as part of a healthy approach to life. Japan has a very long history of traditional martial sports and that are part of the budo, namely: judo, kendo, kyudo, sumo, karate-do, aikido, shorinji kempo, naginata, and jukendo. The very English term "martial arts" implies both martial sports and martial arts, though the two terms are distinguished. For example, a traditional martial sport is sumo, a martial arts is aikido, while karate is both a sport and a martial art. The main difference between martial sports and martial arts is that martial sports have competitions and firm rules in line with which athletes compete, while the arts have no contests and competition rules, but rather respect the principles of the martial art itself. Today, martial sports aim to improve a person's potential and abilities through learning, and to lead them to a fair triumph. The main point of martial arts is the acquisition of combat skills that are applicable in every situation.
