Sažetak
This research aims to establish the developmental trends of results in men’s and women’s shot put results in Croatia. The respondents are all Croatian shot putters that were listed among top ten positions in a respective season between 2008 and 2020. The variables of the research were male and female results in the shot put. 2nd and 3rd-degree polynomial regression analysis was used as the main statistical method for defining development directions and predicting results. The results of the research indicate differences between the developmental trend of results concerning gender. The developmental trends of all results in women end in a negative direction, while the results wary with men. The analysis of all the results shows that only the SB in male takes a positive direction of development. Currently, Croatia has very good high-level individuals in men’s shot put, but the quality of other shot putters is very poor. When it comes to female shot put, due to poor results and the negative developmental direction throughout the total observation period, this discipline is barely surviving. The factors of the positive influence of SB development in men could be quality coaching and professional work based on scientific methods, or the system of the quality selection of young throwers based on their success. The factors that could have influenced the negative directions of the results are various financial investments in sports, insufficient investment in athletes who have not reached the respective level of success, or the young age of Croatian throwers.
