Abstract

The basic goal of this research is to determine the level of significance of the influence of the predictor system of variables (morphological characteristics and motor abilities) on the criterion variables (situational movement structures of judokas). The research was performed on a sample of 92 respondents aged 16 - 18 years who were in the training process for at least three years. Eleven (11) variables of morphological characteristics, fourteen (14) variables of motor abilities and five (5) variables of situational movement structures in judo were applied in this research. The variables used in this study were determined by standard descriptive procedures, where the basic central and dispersion parameters were calculated to determine the functions of their distributions and the basic parameters of the functions, thus determining that none of the applied variables statistically significantly deviated from the normal distribution. Based on the results of regression analyzes, the influence of the predictor system of variables (morphological characteristics and motor abilities) on the criterion variables (situational movement structures in judo) was confirmed. This research found that special technical preparation (situational movement structures in judo) is largely conditioned by certain motor skills and morphological characteristics, which judo trainers must keep in mind when training and applying situational movement structures in judo.
