Sažetak
On the sample of 92 boxers of various weight categories, from the Croatian boxing clubs, the system of 14 variables was implemented, out of which 8 were variables of specific motor abilities (the criterion variables) and 6 were conative variables (the predictor variables), with the goal to determine the influence of the system of conative characteristics on individual criterion variables of specific motor variables in top-level boxers. By means of factor analysis (the direct oblimin) two latent variables were isolated. The first is interpreted as the integrated latent variable of specific motor abilities, and the second as the general latent variable of conative characteristics. Between the isolated latent variables there is a significant correlation of 0.57. Regression analyses revealed that the predictor system of conative variables established statistically significant relations with and had the statistically significant influence on all individual criterion variables of specific motor abilities at the level of .00 (p). Out of the individual conative variables only the variable the regulator of organs’ functions had statistically significant influence on all criterion variables at the level of .00 (p). Therefore, it could be concluded, on the basis of the obtained results, that the subjects with better scores in every criterion variable also scored better in the regulation of organs’ functions, which was formed by the association of subcortical centres for the regulation of organs’ functions, predominately located in the region of hypothalamus, and to them superior cortical systems, responsible for the regulation and control. In the criterion variable SSER100, in addition to the variable χ regulator, only the variable the regulator of attack responses (SIGMA) had the statistically significant contribution at the level of .03 (p). It is considered that the regulator of attack responses (σ) is probably located in the limbic system, and similarly as the regulator of defence responses, it modulates tonic excitation, but based on the programme of the destructive reaction.
