RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN MORPHOLOGICAL CHARACTERISTICS AND SITUATIONAL-MOTOR ABILITIES IN FOOTBALL

Morphological characteristics are very important for the realization of situational - motor structure of sports events. They are the biomechanical basis, as factors that facilitate or hamper the performance of the task. Our aim was to determine the relationship of morphological characteristics and situational - motor skills in football. The sample consisted of 155 students the first and second year of study Faculty of Physical Education and Sports University in Tuzla, aged 19 to 22 years. The sample measures and tests consisted of 20 morphological measures and 9 tests for the evaluation of situational - motor abilities. Results showed that the morphological characteristics affecting the majority of situational - motor tasks, but their influence vary by the size and direction. Research data provide information that can be used in the selection, forecasts, as well as planning and programming of training in football.
