Sažetak
The aim of this study was to investigate the correlation between morphological characteristics and lower limb explosive strength. The sample consisted of 100 male respondents aged 4 to 18 years. Variables was composed of 12 anthropometric characteristics, percentage of body fat and vertical jump. For establishment the relationship between morphological features and lower limb explosive power Pearson's correlation coefficient was calculated. The result indicated that there is a statistically significant positive correlation between the morphological characteristics that are predisposed by regular growth and development (body height, arm length, leg length, etc.) and the explosive strength. Also, it shown statistically significant negative correlation between the variables that are indicators of wellbeing (fat percentage, skin folds) and motor performance. It can be concluded that boys who are overweight and obese reported poorer results in motor skill. Therefore, it is very important for children to be physically active to maintain normal health status.
