Sažetak
The research aims to determine the relationship between morphological characteristics and the teaching topic “High jump” in Physical Education classes using the “scissors” technique with fifth- grade students in primary schools in Split, Republic of Croatia. Thus, on a sample of 304 students (152 female and 152 male), aged 11 years (± 6 months), a set of 16 anthropometric measures was applied to assess the morphological characteristics and the teaching topics of motor knowledge. The results of multiple regression analysis indicate a high degree of correlation between the predictor set of used morphological variables and the criterion variable High jump using the “scissors” technique in both samples of students (female R = 0.46 ; male R = 0.48). The sample of students showed that, of all the applied morphological variables, the variable Elbow diameter showed the statistically most significant partial contribution in defining the criteria values. Everything points to the importance of selecting the teaching content, i.e., kinesiological operators for effective programming in the teaching of Physical Education, and especially for the transformation of the students' certain anthropological characteristics to achieve the desired final states. The obtained results also show which morphological characteristics should be given priority in order for the students to achieve the best results in monitoring and evaluating when evaluating the teaching topic High jump using the “scissors” technique.
