Sažetak
Students’ good physical condition is very important in order to continue maintaining their health throughout their youth, thus enabling them to preserve good fitness even in adulthood. The aim of this study was to check the current state of the anthropological status of students at the Faculty of Teacher Education in Rijeka and to determine whether there is a correlation between morphological characteristics and success in motor and functional abilities. Obesity is a very serious public health problem, and a low level of motor and functional abilities can have consequences on the longevity and quality of life. The sample consisted of 134 first and second-year female students at the Faculty of Teacher Education in Rijeka. Anthropological characteristics were assessed with 15 variables (7 morphological variables: body height, body weight, body mass index – BMI, waist circumference, hip circumference, waist-to-hip ratio – WHR, waist-to- height ratio – WHtR ; 8 motor variables: easier and more difficult push-ups, sit-ups, plank hold, squat hold, standing on one leg with eyes open and closed ; 1 functional variable: stair test). Basic descriptive parameters were calculated in all variables. Pearson's correlation coefficient with a significance level of p = 0.05 was used to determine the relationship between morphological characteristics and physical fitness. The obtained results show that students achieve below average results in muscular endurance of the torso and lower extremities and have poor functional abilities. The results of the association between morphological characteristics tests and tests for the assessment of motor abilities show significant positive correlations between body weight and the test for the assessment of balance (UB_r_c ; r = 0.50). A positive correlation was found between BMI and balance tests (UB_r_c ; r = 0.54, UB_r_o ; r = 0.49). Negative correlations were obtained between the balance test UB_l_o and morphological variables AR (r = -0.67) and HR (r = -0.77), and between the balance test UB_r_o and morphological variables WR (r = -0.59) and HR (r = -0.74). A moderately positive correlation was found between the morphological variable WHR and the functional test STEP 15" (r = 0.52). It is recommended that future research checks the anthropological status on a larger student population, and that the measurements are conducted at multiple time points to monitor the students’ status and thus to control the effects of the implemented program.
