RELATIONS BETWEEN MORPHOLOGICAL AND MOTOR-FUNCTIONAL VARIABLES AND THEIR EFFECTS ON AEROBIC CAPACITY OF BOYS AND GIRLS IN THE FIRST CLASS OF ELEMENTARY SCHOOL

The sample of 1028 schoolchildren (509 boys and 519 girls) of the fi rst class of elementary school (7 years old + 6 months) was applied to the standard battery of measure instruments of 11 variables which is nowadays used in schools in Croatia. Of these 11 variables 4 were morphological and 7 motor-functional. Relations between two different systems of manifesting variables were established by canonic correlation analysis while the effects of the system of morphological and motor variables (as the system of predictory variables) were established on the criterion of aerobic capacity variable – running for 3 minutes (F3) and was calculated by regressive analysis. On the basis of canonic analysis for boys two canonic factors were determined while for girls there were three, on the level of p=.00. By regressive analysis both for boys and girls it was determined that the system of applied morphological and motor variables has a signifi cant statistic effect on aerobic capacity (running 3 minutes - F3) on the level of .00 (p=.00). The results showed that boys and girls of the fi rst class of elementary school have the same level of aerobic capacity of the total anthropological characteristics
