Predmet ovog rada predstavljaju posturalni poremećaji kičmenog stuba u sagitalnoj i frontalnoj ravni, kao i status stopala. Cilj istraživanja je da se utvrdi učestalost poremećaja posturalnog statusa kičmenog stuba (kifotično, lordotično i skoliotično loše držanje) i odstupanje od normalnog statusa stopala, te analiza razlika u odnosu na polni dimorfizam. Status stopala utvrđen je metodom kompjuterizovane digitalizovane podografije-aparatom Pedikom, a procena posturalnog statusa kičmenog stuba vršen je SpineScan portabl uređajem. Podaci su obrađeni prema frekvenciji pojavljivanja za procenu kičmenog statusa, statusa stopala, odnosno po polu. Značajnost razlike u odnosu na pol utvrđena je Hi-kvadrat testom. Rezultati ukazuju na to da je u ispitivanoj populaciji najzastupljenije lordotično loše držanje, 41,31% kod ispitanika i 36,66% kod ispitanica. Statistički značajna razlika, u odnosu na polni dimorfizam, ustanovljena je za parametar skoliotično loše držanje (p=0,008).

As part of daily physical activity, it is recommended to exercise at a moderate to high intensity for at least 10 minutes. Today, we are increasingly faced with the problem of sedentariness in both adults and children. It is considered that a school is a place where children could be expected to be more physically active because they spend a lot of time there. The subject of this research concerns the time spent in moderate to high-intensity physical activity (MVPA) during one day. A systematic review of two electronic databases (PubMed and Mlibrary) identified a small number of studies that analyzed MVPA between boys and girls. In the studies, organized physical exercise is cited as a way to make children more interested in exercise than usual. The research results of three selected studies indicate that st...

The first aim was to examine the association of anthropometric measures on kinematic characteristic which represent stroke efficiency in young female front crawl swimmers. The second aim was to create a prediction model which could provide help to swimming coaches with the purpose of easier and better selection of female front crawl swimmers by measuring and following basic morphological characteristics. Eighty female competitive swimmers all members of the swimming Clubs in province of Vojvodina, Serbia (age 12.52 ± 08 years, years of training involvement 4.05 ± 1.2 and personal best times over 50 m front crawl 32.79 ± 0.86 s) performed 50 m front crawl race. The 50 m front crawl swimming efficiency expressed through stroke index significantly was related to body height (r = 0.44, p = 0.000), body mass (r = 0.402, p = 0.000), sitting height (r = 0.612, p = 0.000) arm spam (r = 0.576, p = 0.000), biacromial diameter (r = 0.470, p = 0.000), bicrestal diameter (r = 0.348, p = 0.001) and with chest circumference (r = 0.427, p = 0.000). Regression equation for stroke index prediction was defined by following variables: body mass, sitting height, arm span, chest circumference with 43.5% explained variance. Additionally by analyzing obtained model the higher the values of SH, ARSP, CHICR and the lower values of BM in a group of early pubescent female swimmers the higher 50 m front crawl efficiency values will be.

This study aims to determine the change in the size of the lumbar segment angle at a particularly critical point L3-L4 of the spine in relation to the load of the average weight of SB in healthy male children (students) at standing and after 2-minute gait. Methods: 47 boys, aged 12.2 ± 0.92 years, underwent photogrammetric measurements in the sagittal plane in statics and dynamics, walking on a laboratory treadmill. Measurements were repeated with the weight of SB with a constant load of 6,251 kg, which represents 13.78% of the average body weight of our sample. The lumbar angle (LA) connecting the point of the big toe, the lumbar point L3-L4 and the processus spinosus C7 was measured. In gait, LA was measured in the phases of the middle support and the initial contact of the heel. Results: T-test of paired samples was used to estimate the change in LA at standing from 4.953°and walking phases from 6.295°to 7.332°in relation to the unloaded state, and the value of the effect size (ES) indicates that the impact of SB load is significant. Conclusions: Cumulatively, microtraumas caused by SB load significantly affect the increase in intervertebral pressure at the L3-L4 point, which is susceptible to degenerative processes and which can be the cause of lumbar syndrome (LS). Preventive measures are needed in order to lighten SB in this population and introduce up to 10% of students' body weight into the safe zone.

There is an increased risk of obesity in these athletes with disability due to a reduced level of locomotor functionality. The hitherto practice showed that leading table tennis players with disabilities in Serbia did not have an additional kinesiology treatment implemented as part of their training process, which would encourage both strengthening and flexibility of muscle groups relevant for the efficacy of table tennis game, and reduction of body mass and voluminosity. The goal of this paper is to apply an additional kinesiology treatment and determine its effect of on the morphological characteristics of leading table tennis players with disabilities. Eight representatives, table tennis players with disabilities, both male and female, aged between 23 and 52, were included in the additional kinesiology treatment that lasted for nine months. The measures of longitudinal skeleton dimensionality, body mass and volume, subcutaneous adipose tissue and body mass index were analyzed. In order to establish the effects of kinesiology treatment Student's t-test was used, while the results were processed by means of a statistical package SPSS, version 14.0. The values were estimated at p < 0.05 significance level. Male respondents demonstrated statistically significant changes in biceps skinfold (p = 0.05). In the case of female respondents no statistically significant difference was observed in anthropometric space. The additional kinesiology treatment indicates a trend towards reduced voluminosity and body mass of both male and female respondents, but not at a statistically significant level, which is probably the result of an insufficient number of respondents. Continued additional kinesiology treatment should be included in the training process of male and female table tennis players with disabilities, which has not been the case up until now.

Postural balance is controlled by somatosensory, visual and vestibular system. Cervical spine has neurophysiological connection to the visual and vestibular system as well as abundance of receptors within the connective tissues of the spine. Guard-specific posture in taekwondo requires constant head and neck rotations, therefore deficits in cervical spine could alter the balance. The aim of the study was to study connections between cervical spine kinesthesia and balance in taekwondo specific postural tasks. Sixteen healthy male taekwondo fighters (22 ±1,3 years of age) competing at the national level were enrolled in the study. Postural balance during a single leg stance while facing forward or with 90° of neck torsion using a force plate (Bilateral force plate, S2P, Ljubljana, Slovenia) was assessed. Kinesthetic awareness of cervical spine was measured using a Butterfly test...

In accordance with the aim of the research, the measuring of morphological characteristics (body height, body mass, medium thorax circumference, stretched forearm circumference, stretched upper arm circumference) was conducted. By applying a multivariate analysis of variance it was determined that there were statistically significant differences (p = 0.00) in the morphological space. The individual analysis ascertained the differences for Medium thorax circumference, Medium forearm circumference and Medium upper arm circumference in favour of the boys. The differences in these variables caused by sexual dimorphism are statistically significant.Istraživanjem je obuhvaćeno 50 ispitanika predškolskog uzrasta, (dečaka=25; god=6,21±0.44SD i devojčica=25; god=6,49±0.65 SD) iz ...

S druge strane, primetan je trend značajnog povećanja organizovanih takmičarskih manifestacija za mlade sportiste, što je povezano sa znatnim povećanjem broja sportskih povreda. Neadekvatna fizička priprema predstavlja faktor rizika u nastanku većine sportskih povreda mladih sportista, tako da fizička priprema u vidu treninga snage i nervno-mišićnog treninga predstavlja deo strategije u prevenciji takvih povreda. Kako su benefiti fizičke pripreme mladih sportista poznati i prihvaćeni, ovaj pregledni rad ima za cilj da ukaže na neke specifičnosti trenažnog procesa mladih, kao i na različite aspekte fizičke pripreme mladih sportista za organizovane takmičarske sportske aktivnosti.

Modern tourists are increasingly understanding the importance of benefits to their own health, which is just what is being achieved by the programmed content of active tourism. A generally recognized global trend towards wellness tourism and innovation services in the traditional tourist industry is still not sufficiently recognized in developing countries. Stimulating factor relevant to the promotion of the tourism industry of these countries is certainly the financial profit to be realised in destinations that have included wellness and spa programmes in their offers. However, a significant factor in terms of innovating services and creating profit at a tourist destination can be improved by creating a model of business processes that are most acceptable for a given tourist destination. This article is based on two smal...

LBP is almost evenly distributed among the sexes (58 % of women and 45 % of men suffer from it), while about 75% of the the population have suffered an episode of lower back pain syndrome. (according to Jadrić i Antić, 2006). The majority of people with LBP syndrome recover completely as a result of suitable medical treatment and body exercise; however, in a certain percentage of people, the acute phase turns into the chronic condition. Chronic lower back pain (CLBP) is a limiting condition which impacts individual efficacy but is also correlated with social and economical effects (Meucci et al., 2013). In the treatment of alleviating the pain, physical movement and different types of body exercises play an important role. The goal of this paper is to select certain yoga postures/asanas on the basis of resea...

In accordance with the aim of the research, the measuring of morphological characteristics (body height, body mass, medium thorax circumference, stretched forearm circumference, stretched upper arm circumference) was conducted. By applying a multivariate analysis of variance it was determined that there were statistically significant differences (p = 0.00) in the morphological space. The individual analysis ascertained the differences for Medium thorax circumference, Medium forearm circumference and Medium upper arm circumference in favour of the boys. The differences in these variables caused by sexual dimorphism are statistically significant.Istraživanjem je obuhvaćeno 50 ispitanika predškolskog uzrasta, (dečaka=25; god=6,21±0.44SD i devojčica=25; god=6,49±0.65 SD) iz ...

The Auditory Intellectually Repetition (AIR) learning model can be used as an innovative teaching solution in improving the ability to understand concepts because the Auditory Intellectually Repetition (AIR) learning model is a learning model that emphasizes three aspects, namely learning by listening, learning by thinking and repetition. This study aims to determine the effectiveness of the Auditory Intellectual Repetition (AIR) learning model in improving students' understanding of mathematical concepts. The design of this research is Pre Experimental with the form of research used is One Group Pretest-Posttest Design. The sampling technique used is Simple Random Sampling. After the samples were taken randomly, class X IPA 2 was chosen as the experimental class. The instrument in this study was in the form of a student's mathematical concept understanding ability test. The data analysis technique in this study used N-Gain data and the Paired Sample T Test (t test). Based on the average N-Gain value, it can be concluded that the Auditory Intellectual Repetition (AIR) learning model is effective in improving students' mathematical concept understanding abilities.

Patients and methods: Between September 2018 and November 2018, a total of 25 male patients with TBI (mean age: 41.1±9.7 years; range, 30 to 50 years) that occurred two years ago were included in this randomized-controlled study. The patients were divided into two groups as the experimental group (n=13) and the control group (n=12). The experimental group implemented a regular rehabilitation program and an additional program of adapted physical exercise. The control group implemented only a regular rehabilitation program (morning gymnastics and gymnastics for the brain). Motor and functional abilities were assessed by a Senior Fitness battery and Berg's balance scale. Attention process was assessed by a standardized d2 test. Results: A significant improvement in physical abilities (strength, flex...

Posture was evaluated using a modified method by Napoleon Wolanski (Radisavljevic, 2001), by means of which the data were retrieved regarding lower extremities and feet (genu varum, genu valgum, genu recurvatum, pes planus). The aim of the research is to diagnose postural disorders in adolescents and establish differences among the groups of respondents grouped according to their morphological characteristics. The frequency of occurrence in postural disorders was calculated by means of a nonparametric statistical procedure of frequency. Factor analysis was used in order to single out two factors based on which the whole sample was further divided into two groups using cluster analysis. The results thus obtained point at a significant frequency rate of postural disorders at this age, where 39 of the respondents have di...

S druge strane, primetan je trend značajnog povećanja organizovanih takmičarskih manifestacija za mlade sportiste, što je povezano sa znatnim povećanjem broja sportskih povreda. Neadekvatna fizička priprema predstavlja faktor rizika u nastanku većine sportskih povreda mladih sportista, tako da fizička priprema u vidu treninga snage i nervno-mišićnog treninga predstavlja deo strategije u prevenciji takvih povreda. Kako su benefiti fizičke pripreme mladih sportista poznati i prihvaćeni, ovaj pregledni rad ima za cilj da ukaže na neke specifičnosti trenažnog procesa mladih, kao i na različite aspekte fizičke pripreme mladih sportista za organizovane takmičarske sportske aktivnosti.

Modern tourists are increasingly understanding the importance of benefits to their own health, which is just what is being achieved by the programmed content of active tourism. A generally recognized global trend towards wellness tourism and innovation services in the traditional tourist industry is still not sufficiently recognized in developing countries. Stimulating factor relevant to the promotion of the tourism industry of these countries is certainly the financial profit to be realised in destinations that have included wellness and spa programmes in their offers. However, a significant factor in terms of innovating services and creating profit at a tourist destination can be improved by creating a model of business processes that are most acceptable for a given tourist destination. This article is based on two smal...

LBP is almost evenly distributed among the sexes (58 % of women and 45 % of men suffer from it), while about 75% of the the population have suffered an episode of lower back pain syndrome. (according to Jadrić i Antić, 2006). The majority of people with LBP syndrome recover completely as a result of suitable medical treatment and body exercise; however, in a certain percentage of people, the acute phase turns into the chronic condition. Chronic lower back pain (CLBP) is a limiting condition which impacts individual efficacy but is also correlated with social and economical effects (Meucci et al., 2013). In the treatment of alleviating the pain, physical movement and different types of body exercises play an important role. The goal of this paper is to select certain yoga postures/asanas on the basis of resea...

Predmet ovog rada predstavljaju posturalni poremećaji kičmenog stuba u sagitalnoj i frontalnoj ravni, kao i status stopala. Cilj istraživanja je da se utvrdi učestalost poremećaja posturalnog statusa kičmenog stuba (kifotično, lordotično i skoliotično loše držanje) i odstupanje od normalnog statusa stopala, te analiza razlika u odnosu na polni dimorfizam. Status stopala utvrđen je metodom kompjuterizovane digitalizovane podografije-aparatom Pedikom, a procena posturalnog statusa kičmenog stuba vršen je SpineScan portabl uređajem. Podaci su obrađeni prema frekvenciji pojavljivanja za procenu kičmenog statusa, statusa stopala, odnosno po polu. Značajnost razlike u odnosu na pol utvrđena je Hi-kvadrat testom. Rezultati ukazuju na to da je u ispitivanoj populaciji najzastupljenije lordotično loše držanje, 41,31% kod ispitanika i 36,66% kod ispitanica. Statistički značajna razlika, u odnosu na polni dimorfizam, ustanovljena je za parametar skoliotično loše držanje (p=0,008). Kada je reč o odstupanju od normalnog statusa stopala, kod ispitivane populacije, spušteno stopalo I stepena zastupljeno sa 43,23%, spušteno stopalo II stepena zastupljeno sa 16,66%, a izdubljeno stopalo zastupljeno sa 10,16%. Kvantitativni rezultati istraživanja ukazuju na potrebu primene korektivne gimnastike u cilju korekcije, ali i prevencije posturalnih poremećaja uvođenjem iste kao svakodnevne usmerene aktivnosti predškolske populacije.
