Canonical relations between basic kinetic elements and morphological characteristics

The basic kinetic elements, with their quantitative and qualitative diversity, determine the kinetic structure, which is manifested in overcoming resistance on a particular path in a particular time. The kinetic structure in an individual or repeating motion partly also depends on the anthropometrical characteristics of the body, namely volume, mass, transversal and longitudinal dimensionality of the body. The main objective of this research is directed at determining the quality and the degree of correlation between basic kinetic elements with morphological characteristics. The research was conducted on a sample comprised out of 124, 15 year old, male respondents. A total of 21 kinetic measures obtained with the help of adequate instruments and with the use of the ergometrical method has been used for evaluating basic kinetic elements. For the purpose of evaluating morphological characteristics in a way prescribed by the International Biological Program, 15 anthropometrical measures were utilized. The canonical analysis revealed a very close correlation between the system of basic kinetic elements and the system of morphological characteristics. Due to a well-structured area, five significant canonical dimensions were succesfully extracted. Generally, there are significant canonical relations between basic kinetic elements, namely resistance and amplitude in motion, with morphological characteristics. However, this is not the case with manifested reactions of time in motion. The determined correlation and relations of these areas are essentially rooted in basic biomechanical laws on the influence of the length of levers, angular speed and body mass, or the influence of body height on the efficiency of the functioning of the kinetic chain in relation to various functional mechanisms for the regulation of basic kinetic motions.
