Relations Between Morphological Characteristics and the Motor Skill Handstand Against „A Vertical Surface in 11-Year-Old Female Pupils“

The aim of the conducted research was to determine correlation between morphological characteristics and the motor skill Handstand Against a Vertical Surface in fifth-grade primary-school female pupils from Split. In conformity with the set objective, on the sample of 152 primary-school female pupils from Split, Republic of Croatia, aged 11 (± 6 months), a set of 16 anthropometric measurements for assessment of morphological characteristics and the motor skill test Handstand Against a Vertical Surface, were applied. The results for multiple regression analysis indicated a statistically significant correlation between morphological characteristics and the motor skill Handstand Against a Vertical Surface in female students. The analysis of partial contribution of certain morphological variables on the significance of the regression model indicated a statistically significant contribution in the variables Abdomen Skinfold and Elbow Diameter. The research results provided useful information on morphological specification of the motor skill Handstand Against a Vertical Surface and thus its role in transformation of certain morphological characteristics for achieving desired final conditions in the process of planning and programming Physical Education classes. Moreover, they also imply which morphological characteristics should be considered in order for female pupils to achieve best possible results during the assessment process of this motor task.
