Sažetak
Prescribing training intensity and volume is a key problem when designing resistance training programs. PURPOSE: The aim of the study was to determine the differences between students of kinesiology and students of mathematics with respect to gender in some dimensions of strength. METHODS: The sample consisted of 50 students of kinesiology from Faculty of education (37 males age 20.10±1.72 ; BH 181.8±6.0 ; BW 78.03±10.11 and 13 females age 19.07±1.25 ; BH 167.6±9.24 ; BW 59.92±7.82) and 62 students from the Department of mathematics (31 males age 18.92±0.67 ; BH 178.50±6.46 ; BW 78.43±22.24 and 31 females age 18.6±0.56 ; BH 165.9±7.2 and BW 60.56±10.49). As a measurement of muscle strength, a sample of variables was comprised of five tests: 1 RM bench press (1RMBP), 1 RM squat (1RMS) and 1-minute sit- up test (1SU), relative bench press (RBP=1 RMBP/BW) and relative squat (RS=1 RMS/BW. The basic descriptive parameters were calculated and the t-test was used for determining the difference between the observed variables. RESULTS: The significance of differences between the groups and gender was observed in all variables (p<0.00). CONCLUSION: The findings may contribute to a better understanding of the factors responsible for strength in the population of athletes (students of kinesiology) and non-athletes (students of mathematics), i.e. they may be useful to PE teachers to help in the planning the best program and training load distribution for their students.
