Sažetak
PURPOSE: Motor abilities and morphological characteristics are some of the main factors influencing the result in professional kayakers. The question is how much are these abilities influencing the results in adult recreational sportsmen, i.e. is the quantity of acquired knowledge in basic rowing technique more important factor in the final test result. METHODS: The research was conducted on the sample of 27 female and 47 male students of the Faculty of Kinesiology in Zagreb. The average age was 21, 86 for female, and 21, 68 years for male students. Predictor variables were morphological characteristics tests and 10 motor abilities tests. As a criterion variable 50 meter sprint test was used. The test was applied after six day basic kayak technique learning program (9 hours). RESULTS: Through regression analysis it was determined that there is no significant influence of morphological characteristics and motor abilities on the success in 50 meter kayak rowing. CONCLUSION: The research hasn't showed significant correlation of morphological characteristics and motor abilities with the results achieved in „kayak 50 meter sprint“ test, and it can be assumed that the results in the aforementioned test was influenced by the level of achieved rowing technique knowledge. Such result shows also the accessibility of kayaking to the wider population of recreational sportsmen, not only to the physically prepared individuals.
