ANTHROPOMETRIC CHARACTERISTICS - THE DETERMINANTS OF VERTICAL AND HORIZONTAL JUMPING ABILITY

Any aspect of sport integrates within itself certain human anthropological dimensions. Which of the dimensions will be dominant in the given physical activity, or sport, depends on the nature of the sport as well as the nature of the motor task which is being realized. A very frequent topic of study in anthropological space is morphological space, as well as anthropometric characteristics which are defined as the predictors of various motor manifestations. These manifestations can include all the segments of motor space. In this paper we will define a segment of explosive strength (the horizontal and vertical jumping ability) in the case of boys and girls, first-graders, with the aim of determining the influence of the manifested anthropometric characteristics, such as the determinants of the vertical and horizontal jumping ability of children.Original Abstract: Svaki aspekt sporta integrira u sebi odredene ljudske antropoloske dimenzije. Koja dimenzija ce biti dominantna u odredenoj fizickoj aktivnosti, ili sportu, ovisi o prirodi sporta, kao i oprirodu motorickih zadataka koji se ostvaruju. Jako cesto su teme istrazivanja u antropoloskom prostoru morfoloske dimenzije, kao i antropometrijske karakteristike koje su definirane kao prediktori razlicitih motorickih manifestacija. Te manifestacije mogu ukljuciti sve segmente motorickog prostora. U ovom radu cemo definirati segment eksplozivne snage (horizontalna i vertikalna sposobnost skoka) u slucaju djecaka i djevojcica, prvog razreda OS, s ciljem utvrdivanja utjecaja manifestnih antropometrijskih karakteristika, kao determinanti vertikalne i horizontalne sposobnosti skakanja djece.
