Sažetak
The aim of the study was to determine differences in morphological characteristics (body height , body weight, body mass index) among female students who engaged in different specific kinesiology activity. The study included 2849 students of undergraduate studies at the University of Split, ages 19-25 years. Data collection of the morphological characteristics (height, weight, body mass index ) was determined by student clinics in Split competence of physicians, while the psychological characteristics were collected by the Rosenberg self-esteem scale, which consisted of 10 items. Physical education engagement was conducted through three sub- variables: sports, recreation and walking. Differences in the quantitative values were determined by univariate and multivariate analysis of variation. The values of these methods were defined with error p< 0.05. The results showed a statistically significant difference in height (p= 0.04 ), weight (p= 0.00 ) and level of self-esteem (p= 0.00 ) between the various kinesiology student engagement, while no statistically significant differences were given in the variable index of body weight (p = 0.88 ). Students who were more kinesiology engaged had an average greater height of the body (AS 170.22 cm), greater weight (AS 63.4 kg ), which can be attributed to a greater height and a greater amount of muscle mass due to kinesiology engagement. The research showed no statistically significant differences between body mass index and variable “sports” (p= 0.26), “dealing with recreation” (p= 0.078), and “practicing walking” (p= 0.30). In conclusion, physical activity has an irreplaceable instrumental value, because it represents the best means of achieving and maintaining optimal body weight regulation of body mass index, and selfactualization in one of the aspects of dealing with a particular kinesiology activity to promote health and longevity of life.
