Sažetak
The aim of the present study was to evaluate the influence of regularly measured motor-endurance variables (predictors) on the military obstacle course (OC) achievement. The subjects were 25 males, sampled from the Croatian Navy Special Units (mean age 22 years). During the course of the study subjects performed 18-week physical fitness training program (PFT). The predictors consisted of 8 motor – endurance variables. The criterion was the OC. Using the factor analysis we identified three predictors included in the multiple regressions. In conclusion, the aerobic endurance and muscular endurance assure the most important basis of the OC achievement. For that reason, in the periods where specific OC training is not executable, those two components of the physical fitness have to be targeted in PFT.
