Sažetak
The purpose of the present research was to identify the possible influence of some of the morphological characteristics on the Self - Estimate Functional Inability because of Pain SEFIP score through detecting the morphological differences of 13± ; 1 (N=27) year old girls and boys, beginners in standard dances. SEFIP was measured after 10 lessons of an intensive standard dance training program. Morphologic variables were measured at study entry and included body weight, height, body mass index (BMI) ; triceps skinfold, calf circumference, knee diameter and foot length. We analyzed (1) the differences between the boys and girls in all variables, (2) post- training differences in pain sensation for each body region and (3) the prediction of the SEFIP score from the morphologic variables separately for the boys and girls. Statistical analysis (ANOVA) found significant differences between the genders in palm width, knee diameter and foot length. Multiple regression analyses revealed an increased triceps skinfold as a significant predictor of the SEFIP score only for the female dance beginners. Pubertal girls with increased body fat probably had an increased the risk of injuries in a dance training program. In order to avoid pain occurrence in training with standard dance beginners, previous warm - up of the neck, back, knees and ankles/feet muscles is suggested, especially with the male subjects (according to the topological monitoring on the SEFIP score).
