FUNCTIONAL ABILITIES AS PREDICTORS OF PREADOSLESCENT STUDENTS’ ATHLETIC RESULTS OUTCOME
Journal Title: Sport Mont - Year 2011, Vol 0, Issue 31
Abstract
Aim of this research has been directed to the functional abilities relation testing (as predictors) and athletic results (as criterion) of students, who are VII and VIII grade of primary school ( Χ = 13, 9 years; SD = 1, 17). The research has been conducted in Valjevo during November 2010. on the sample of 108 examinees. Variables’ sample has been assembled from 3 tests for functional abilities (maximal oxygen consumption, pulse frequency and vital lungs capacity) evaluation and 4 athletic disciplines (high jump, long jump, shot put and 60 meters low start sprint) from current physical education curriculum. Crombah-alfa coefficient values indicate to satisfactory reliability of applied instruments. In data processing canonical correlation analysis and multiple regression analysis have been used. Achieved canonical correlation analysis results showed that functional abilities set is statistically and significantly related to criterion variables set (R=.67), manifesting one canonical factor on the level p<.03. Achieved determination coefficient (R² = .43) indicates to functional abilities prognostic significance of explained variance 46% criterion. Using hierarchy regression model following statistically significant beta coefficient of functional abilities as partial predictors of athletics outcome have been determined: I) for vital lungs capacity- high jump (β = .67, p < .01), II) for vital lungs capacity- long jump (β = .55, p < .01), III) for vital lungs capacity and pulse frequency- shot put (β =.-.34, p < .01; β =.42, p < .02) and IV) for vital lungs capacity- 60 meters sprint (β = .-.39). Regression equation calculation of other applied functional abilities preadolescents’ predictor variables has not statistically and significantly contributed to univariance prediction of criterion variable variance.
