Selection of Goalkeeper in Handball : Master's Thesis
No full textKada razrađujemo pozicijske specifikacije pojedinaca na terenu, možemo uočiti kako prema pojedinim karakteristikama određenog igrača s velikom vjerojatnošću možemo pogoditi na kojoj poziciji igra, bez da smo ga prethodno vidjeli na terenu. Nadalje, kada bi sve pozicije podijelili u dvije kategorije, najlogičnija podjela u rukometu bila bi na igrače i vratare. Tijekom godina aktivnog bavljenja rukometom, prvenstveno kao igrač/vratar, u nekim situacijama kao i trener mlađih kategorija, uočila sam problematiku koju nosi specifičnost vratarske pozicije. Sa željom da pokušam pobliže dočarati problematiku vratarske pozicije kao i s motivom da moj rad pomogne pri selekciji mladih vratara koji bi uz adekvatan rad mogli ostvariti puni potencijal, izabrala sam ovu temu za svoj Diplomski rad. U daljnjoj razradi teme promatrat ćemo igrače iz aspekta antropologije i psihologije. Također ćemo promatrati utjecaj socijalnih čimbenika u koje spadaju okruženje na terenu prilikom sportske izvedbe kao i okolina u kojoj se igrač razvijao. Što je to što razlikuje vrhunskog vratara od prosječnog? Ponekad su samo nijanse presudne u izvedbi na terenu kako bismo mogli brzo procijeniti u kojeg igrača se isplati ulagati i koji bi mogao postići, uz adekvatan trenažni proces, velik napredak kako u tehnici branjenja tako i u brzini reakcije na udarac. Odgovor na ovo pitanje kao i na mnoga druga pokušat ću što bolje opisati i objasniti u nastavku rada.When we are talking about the specification of individual positions on the field, we can see how most of the players possess some of the characteristics by which we can assume which position he is playing without previously seeing him in action. Nevertheless, if we devote all positions to two main categories, the most logical separation would be players and goalkeepers. During my years of actively playing handball, mostly as a player/goalkeeper, and in some situations as a youth category coach, I have seen the problem regarding the goalkeeper position. In a wish to help understand the problems of this position in attention that my work help regarding the selection of young talents who could with adequate training achieve the greatness of their talent, I choose this topic for my final paper. During the discussion regarding this topic, we will observe players from aspects of anthropology and psychology. Also, we will observe the effect of social factors in which we include the environment in the field during the sport performance so as the living environment in which the player has been developing over the years. What is the thing that separates the average goalkeeper from the top goalkeeper? Sometimes there is only a slight difference between performance during the game by which we can decide which player is worth investing in and which one can achieve better progress in technique and reaction with adequate training sessions. Answer to this and many more questions I will try to explain during the paper
Prevencija ozljeda u kickboxingu : završni rad
No full textKickboxing je intenzivan i kompleksan sport. Zahtijeva visoku razinu razvijenosti različitih motoričkih i funkcionalnih sposobnosti te veliku količinu usvojenih tehničko-taktičkih znanja. Klasificiran je kao kontaktni sport pa ga karakterizira i veliki broj ozljeda. Međutim, cilj ovog rada je bio izdvojiti ozljede koje nisu nastale izravnim udarcem, već zbog nepravilnosti, odnosno deformiteta muskulotendinoznog sustava kao i zbog neoptimalnog doziranja opterećenja. Zbog još uvijek ograničene količine znanstvenih istraživanja i ostale literature u samom sportu teško je izdvojiti najčešće ozljede koje se javljaju u treningu ili samoj borbi, međutim, uz pomoć praktičnih iskustva stručnjaka i osobnog iskustva u sportu, uspješno su izdvojene tri najčešće ozljede: uganuće gležnja, sindrom prenaprezanja Ahilove tetive i tendonitis duge glave m.biceps brahii-a. Navedene su tri faze rehabilitacija te sama prevencija ponovnog nastanka navedenih ozljeda. Predstavljeni su primjeri prevencijskih vježbi čija implementacija u trening u velikoj mjeri sprječava nastanak ozljeda, ili povratak starih.Kickboxing is an intense and complex sport. It requires a high level of development of various motor and functional abilities and a large amount of acquired technical and tactical knowledge. It is classified as a contact sport, so it is characterized by a large number of injuries. However, the aim of this study was to single out injuries that were not caused by direct impact, but due to irregularities of deformities of the musculotendinous system as well as due to incorrect dosage of loads. Due to the lack of literature, it is very difficult to single out the most common injuries that occur in training or the fight itself, however, with the help of experts and personal experience in sports, three most common injuries were singled out successfully: ankle sprain, Achilles tendon overstrain syndrome and tendonitis of the long head of the biceps brachii muscle. Three phases of rehabilitation and the prevention of recurrence of these injuries are listed. Examples of preventive exercises that can be added to the training are written in order to prevent the occurrence of injuries or recurrence as much as possible
Sporterapija - društveno korisno učenje u kineziterapiji : završni rad
No full textOvaj rad istražuje koncept društveno korisnog učenja u kontekstu kineziterapije te analizira načine na koje kineziterapija može imati pozitivan društveni utjecaj. Kineziterapija, kao terapijska disciplina usmjerena je na primjenu terapijskih vježbi za poboljšanje tjelesnih funkcija, može pružiti značajne koristi pojedincima kroz povećanje snage, fleksibilnosti i izdržljivosti. S druge strane društveno korisno učenje predstavlja pristup koji povezuje obrazovanje i društveni angažman te otvara mogućnosti za integraciju kineziterapije u društveno korisne inicijative. Sinergija između kineziterapije i društveno korisnog učenja može potaknuti inkluziju, poticanje tjelesne aktivnosti i podizanje svijesti o važnosti zdravog načina života. U zaključku, ističemo potencijal kineziterapije kao alata za društvenu korist te naglašavamo potrebu za daljnjim istraživanjem kako bismo bolje razumjeli društvene učinke kineziterapije. Integracija kineziterapije u društveno korisne programe može pridonijeti zdravlju i dobrobiti pojedinaca te promicati važnost tjelesne aktivnosti u zajednici.This paper explores the concept of service learning in the context of kinesiotherapy and analyzes ways in which kinesiotherapy can have a positive societal impact. Kinesiotherapy, as a therapeutic discipline focused on applying therapeutic exercises to enhance bodily functions, can provide significant benefits to individuals by increasing strength, flexibility, and endurance. Service learning, as an approach connecting education and societal engagement, opens possibilities for integrating kinesiotherapy into socially beneficial initiatives. The synergy between kinesiotherapy and service learning can promote inclusion, encourage physical activity, and raise awareness about the importance of a healthy lifestyle. In conclusion, we highlight the potential of kinesiotherapy as a tool for societal benefit and emphasize the need for further research to better understand the societal effects of kinesiotherapy. Integrating kinesiotherapy into socially beneficial programs can contribute to the health and well-being of individuals and promote the importance of physical activity within the community
The Relationship Between Motivation for Physical Education and Prosocial Behavior in Primary School : Master's Thesis
No full textProvedeno istraživanje se bavi proučavanjem odnosa između motivacije za tjelesnu i zdravstvenu kulturu (TZK) i prosocijalnih ponašanja učenika u osnovnim školama. U središtu interesa nalazi se istraživanje motivacijskih faktora koji potiču učenike na sudjelovanje u nastavi TZK te njihovog utjecaja na izražavanje prosocijalnog ponašanja unutar razredne zajednice. Motivacija za tjelesnu aktivnost mjerena je kroz intrinzične i ekstrinzične čimbenike, dok se prosocijalno ponašanje ispituje putem sklonosti altruizmu, povjerenju i susretljivosti među učenicima. Kroz istraživanje, koje je provedeno na uzorku od 129 učenika, odnosno 72 učenika i 57 učenica, korištene su metode kvantitativne analize, uključujući upitnik kojim je omogućena procjena razine motivacije i prosocijalnog ponašanja. Rezultati su ukazali na to da postoji značajna povezanost između viših razina intrinzične motivacije i češćeg ispoljavanja prosocijalnih ponašanja, kao i razlika motiviranosti po spolu ispitanika koja je išla u korist učenika. Učenici koji sudjeluju u nastavi TZK iz unutarnjih razloga, poput uživanja u učenju novih vještina i postizanju osobnog napretka, pokazuju veći stupanj altruizma i povjerenja prema svojim vršnjacima. S druge strane, učenici s dominantno ekstrinzičnom motivacijom, poput potrebe za priznanjem od strane drugih, iskazuju manju povezanost s prosocijalnim ponašanjem. Stoga se naglašava važnost nastavnika i školskog sustava u poticanju unutarnje motivacije, što može unaprijediti suradnju i društvenu koheziju među učenicima te doprinijeti zdravom razvoju razredne zajednice.This study examines the correlation between students; prosocial behaviors and their motivation for physical and health education (PE) in elementary schools. The focus is on the research of motivational factors that encourage students to participate in PE classes and their impact on the expression of prosocial behavior within the classroom community. Motivation for physical activity was measured through intrinsic and extrinsic factors, while prosocial behavior was examined through a tendency to altruism, trust and friendliness among students. Quantitative analysis techniques were employed throughout the study, which involved 129 students, in total 72 male and 57 female, including the use of a questionnaire to gauge the participants' levels of prosocial behavior and motivation. The findings indicated that there was a significant correlation between higher levels of intrinsic motivation and more frequent manifestation of prosocial behaviors, as well as a difference in motivation by gender of the respondents that was in favor of the male students. Students who participate in PE classes for internal reasons, for instance enjoying learning new skills and achieving personal progress, show a higher level of altruism and trust towards their peers. On the contrary, students with predominantly extrinsic motivations, including the need for recognition from others, show fewer association with prosocial behavior. Therefore, the importance of teachers and the school system in encouraging intrinsic motivation is emphasized, which can improve cooperation and social cohesion among students and contribute to the healthy development of the class community
Development of Functional Abilities in Urban Dances : Undergraduate Thesis
No full textU ovom radu istražuje se razvoj funkcionalnih sposobnosti u urbanim plesovima, s ciljem razumijevanja kako različiti aspekti tjelesnih, tehničkih i mentalnih vještina doprinose uspješnoj izvedbi i prevenciji ozljeda plesača. Urbani plesovi zahtijevaju visoke razine kondicije, snage, fleksibilnosti, koordinacije, ravnoteže, agilnosti i brzine. Analizirano je kako se svaka od ovih funkcionalnih sposobnosti razvija kroz specifične treninge i tehnike te kako utječe na izvedbu plesača. Teorijski okvir rada uključuje povijest urbanih plesova, koja je važna za razumijevanje njihovog razvoja, kao i pregled ključnih funkcionalnih sposobnosti. Proučavani su fizički aspekti i njihov značaj u urbanim plesovima. Također su razmotrene tehničke vještine, kao što su ritmička preciznost, muzikalnost, kreativnost i izražavanje, koji su ključni za osobni stil i interpretaciju glazbe. Osim fizičkih sposobnosti, psihološki aspekti, uključujući mentalno zdravlje, samopouzdanje i kreativnost, također igraju važnu ulogu u razvoju plesača. Rad naglašava značaj prevencije ozljeda i rehabilitacije, ističući važnost pravilnog zagrijavanja, istezanja i osluškivanja tijela. Individualizirani treninzi, vođeni kvalificiranim instruktorima, doprinose optimalnom razvoju plesača. Praktični aspekti, uključujući planiranje i praćenje napretka, osiguravaju da plesači ostanu motivirani i usmjereni prema postizanju svojih ciljeva. Također se naglašava važnost integriranog pristupa razvoju funkcionalnih sposobnosti, koji uključuje fizičke, tehničke i mentalne aspekte, uz preporuke za plesače i trenere kako bi poboljšali svoje vještine i održali zdravlje. U konačnici, urbani plesovi predstavljaju dinamičan oblik umjetničkog izražavanja koji obogaćuje život plesača, potiče njihovu kreativnost i omogućava im izgradnju društvenih veza. Rad ukazuje na važnost pravilnog pristupa treningu kako bi se osigurale dugoročne koristi za fizičko i mentalno zdravlje plesača te potencijalne pravce za daljnja istraživanja.This paper explores the development of functional abilities in urban dance styles, aiming to understand how various aspects of physical, technical, and mental skills contribute to successful performance and injury prevention for dancers. Urban dance styles require high levels of fitness, strength, flexibility, coordination, balance, agility, and speed. The paper analyzes how each of these functional abilities develops through specific training and techniques, and how they impact a dancer's performance. The theoretical framework includes the history of urban dance styles, which is essential for understanding their evolution, as well as an overview of key functional abilities. Physical aspects and their significance in urban dance are studied. Technical skills such as rhythmic accuracy, musicality, creativity, and expression, which are crucial for personal style and music interpretation, are also considered. In addition to physical abilities, psychological aspects, including mental health, self-confidence, and creativity, also play an important role in the development of dancers. The paper emphasizes the importance of injury prevention and rehabilitation, highlighting the significance of proper warm-up, stretching, and body awareness. Individualized training, guided by qualified instructors, contributes to the optimal development of dancers. Practical aspects, including planning and tracking progress, ensure that dancers remain motivated and focused on achieving their goals. It also highlights the importance of an integrated approach to developing functional abilities, which encompasses physical, technical, and mental aspects, along with recommendations for dancers and trainers to enhance their skills and maintain health. Ultimately, urban dance represents a dynamic form of artistic expression that enriches dancers' lives, encourages their creativity, and allows them to build social connections. The paper points out the importance of a proper training approach to ensure long-term benefits for dancers' physical and mental health and potential directions for future research
The Effect of Biological Age in the Evaluation of Selected Motor Tests in Young Basketball Players : Undergraduate Thesis
No full textThe assessment of motor skills in youth basketball is essential for identifying talent, developing training programs, and monitoring athlete progress. However, the varying biological ages of young athletes complicate the interpretation of motor tests. This study investigates the effect of biological age on the performance of selected strength motor tests in novice male basketball players aged 9 to 14. Using the SonicBone BAUSport™ device for non-invasive skeletal age assessment, we categorized participants into early, on-time, and late maturers. Our findings reveal that skeletal age is, on average, greater than chronological age, with early maturers predominating in basketball. Significant differences in hand grip strength were found between early and on-time maturers in the older age group (12-14 years), but not in the younger group (9-11 years). These results align with previous research indicating that early maturers exhibit superior strength performance due to advanced biological development. The absence of late maturers in our sample suggests that basketball may favor those with earlier physical development, potentially excluding late maturers. These findings underscore the importance of considering biological age in talent identification and training in youth basketball. Future research should continue to explore the long-term impacts of biological age on athletic performance and retention, ensuring that late maturers receive appropriate guidance and support to reach their full potential

Analysis of Medley Swimming : Undergraduate Thesis
No full textOvaj rad prikazuje kako je mješovito plivanje jedna je od najzahtjevnijih i najsloženijih plivačkih disciplina, za koja je potrebna visoka razina usvojenosti sve četiri plivačke tehnike. Cilj ovog rada je analizirati mješovito plivanje kroz povijest, prikazati specifičnosti antropološkog statusa plivača koji plivaju mješovito, te se osvrnuti na tehničke i taktičke specifičnosti mješovitog plivanja. Za uspješnost u plivanju potrebna je specifična građa tijela: plivači su visoki, s dugim ekstremitetima i velikim stopalima/dlanovima. Analizirajući morfološka obilježja vrhunskih plivača mješovitim stilom, ona su identična kao i kod ostalih tehnika. Motorička obilježja koja su važna za uspjeh u mješovitom plivanju se eksplozivna snaga, brzina, repetitivna snaga, te jako visok stupanj fleksibilnosti i mobilnosti. Pored toga, visoka razina primitka kisika ključan je za uspjeh u mješovitom plivanju. Taktička komponenta plivanja mješovitim stilom , možda je najkompleksnija od svih plivačkih disciplina, jer se sve tehnika ispreplići kroz jednu disciplinu. Specifičnosti fizičke pripreme za mješovito plivanje se manifestiraju kroz rad u vodi, jer je potrebno raditi na razvoju sve 4 tehnike plivanja. Za uspjeh u mješovitom plivanju, potrebno je zadovoljiti čitav niz faktora kako bi se postigli vrhunski rezultati, što nas dovodi do zaključka koliko je mješovito plivanje najkompleksnija plivačka disciplina.This paper shows how mixed swimming is one of the most demanding and complex swimming disciplines, which requires a high level of mastery of all four swimming techniques. The aim of this work is to analyze mixed swimming throughout history, to show the specifics of the anthropological status of swimmers who swim in mixed swimming, and to refer to the technical and tactical specifics of mixed swimming. Successful swimming requires a specific body type: swimmers are tall, with long limbs and large feet/palms. Analyzing the morphological features of top swimmers in the mixed style, they are identical to those of other techniques. Motor characteristics that are important for success in mixed swimming are explosive power, speed, repetitive power, and a very high degree of flexibility and mobility. In addition, a high level of oxygen intake is crucial for success in medley swimming. The tactical component of medley swimming is perhaps the most complex of all swimming disciplines, because all techniques are interwoven through one discipline. The specifics of physical preparation for mixed swimming are manifested through work in the water, because it is necessary to work on the development of all 4 swimming techniques. For success in medley swimming, it is necessary to satisfy a whole series of factors in order to achieve top results, which leads us to the conclusion that medley swimming is the most complex swimming discipline
Kinesitherapy After Femur Fractures in Children : Undergraduate Thesis
No full textU ovom završnom radu govorimo o važnosti femura, prijelomu i kineziterapiji nakon prijeloma kod djece. Bedrena kost ili femur je najveća i najsnažnija kost u ljudskom tijelu i samim time je od velike važnosti za naše tijelo. Samim time prijelomi bedrene kosti su kompleksni i zahtijevaju pravilnu rehabilitaciju i kineziterapiju nakon prijeloma. Ovaj završni rad usmjeren je na rad s djecom nakon povrede te upravo zbog toga moramo na pravilan način pristupiti njima, pa osim što je bitno pravilno izvesti kineziterapijski program bitan je i način na koji ćemo pristupiti djetetu. Završni rad se sastoji od tri dijela. U prvom dijelu spominjemo anatomiju i biomehaniku bedrene kosti, u drugom dijelu govorimo o samom prijelomu te na kraju govorimo o ulozi kineziterapije nakon prijeloma.In this final work, we talk about the importance of the femur, fracture and kinesitherapy after fractures in children. The thigh bone or femur is the largest and strongest bone in the human body and is therefore of great importance for our body. Therefore, femur fractures are complex and require proper rehabilitation kinesitherapy after a fracture. This final thesis is focused on working with children after an injury, and that is precisely why we have to approach the, in a proper way, so besides the fact that it is important to properly perform kinesitherapy the program is important and the way we approach the child. The final paper consists of three parts. In the first part we mention the anatomy and biomechanics of the femur, in second part we talk about the fracture itself and finally we talk about the role kinesitherapy after fracture

No full textCilj istraživanja bio je utvrditi učinkovitost dvaju različitih modela (metoda demonstracije i metoda učenja putem video isječaka), odnosno dvaju različitih pristupa učenju specifičnih motoričkih znanja za vrijeme nastave na Kineziološkom fakultetu Sveučilišta u Zagrebu na predmetu Sportsko plivanje. Uz glavni cilj, parcijalni ciljevi bili su: utvrditi kojim modelom studenti efikasnije savladavaju specifično znanje plivanja kod četiri plivačke tehnike, pripadajućih startova i okreta; utvrditi povezanost morfoloških karakteristika sa znanjem plivanja sve četiri plivačke tehnike i pripadajućih startova i okreta te; utvrditi povezanost postignutih rezultata plivanja na 50 i 25 metara kod sve četiri tehnike sa znanjem plivanja četiri plivačke tehnike te pripadajućih startova i okreta. Istraživanje je provedeno na polaznicima nastave predmeta Sportsko plivanje pri Kineziološkom fakultetu Sveučilišta u Zagrebu te je ispitano ukupno 98 studenata muškog spola, pri čemu se pazilo da nitko od ispitanika nikada nije prošao školu plivanja. Ispitanici su bili podijeljeni u dvije, veličinom podjednake grupe (N1= 43, N2=55). Uzorak varijabli činile su tri skupine varijabli, a to su: morfološke karakteristike ispitanika, motoričke sposobnosti ispitanika i varijable za procjenu uspješnosti plivanja. Eksperiment je trajao četiri mjeseca, a nastava se odvijala 3 puta tjedno po 45 minuta, dok su antropometrijska mjerenja prikupljena na početku testiranja. Jedna grupa je plivačka znanja učila uz pomoć demonstratora u vodi, dok su se za drugu grupu prikazivali video isječci pojedinih vježbi i tehnika uz verbalna objašnjenja profesora. Prije samog eksperimenta definirali su se i opisali kriteriji ocjenjivanja za svaku tehniku plivanja na Likertovoj skali ocjena. U konačnici je dobivena ocjena za svaku komponentu, odnosno element svake pojedine tehnike plivanja (start, tehnička izvedba i okret). Prije korištenja multivarijantnih statističkih metoda, za sve korištene varijable izračunati su parametri Cronbachove Alphe, međučestična korelacija te primijenjena analiza varijance za ponovljena mjerenja s ciljem identifikacije statističke značajnosti među pojedinim česticama, a pri čemu su rezultati pokazali vrlo visoku pouzdanost mjernog instrumenta. Za sve varijable izračunati su pokazatelji deskriptivne statistike. Normalitet distribucije ispitan je Kolmogorov-Smirnovljevim testom s Lilliefors korekcijom. S ciljem ispitivanja validnosti podataka primijenjena je faktorska analiza pod komponentnim modelom s Guttman-Kaiserovim kriterijem za određivanje broja ekstrahiranih parametara, pri čemu 7 su ekstrahirana tri faktora. S ciljem identifikacije razlika u primijenjenim modelima učenja u svim promatranim tehnikama koristila se dvofaktorska (2×3) analiza varijance, a u slučaju značajnog glavnog efekta primijenjena je Bonferronijeva post hoc korekcija. Kod izvedbe tehnike plivanja nije identificirana statistički značajna razlika između grupa, dok su očekivano pronađene statistički značajne razlike između komponenti tehnike (start, tehnička izvedba i okret). Za potrebe utvrđivanja značajne povezanosti između morfoloških karakteristika i usvajanja specifičnih motoričkih plivačkih znanja, kao i za potrebe utvrđivanja značajne povezanosti između vremena plivanja na 25 i 50 metara i usvajanja specifičnih plivačkih motoričkih znanja, koristila se kanonička korelacijska analiza. Rezultati su pokazali kako ne postoji statistički značajna povezanost između morfoloških karakteristika i usvajanja specifičnih motoričkih plivačkih znanja, dok je utvrđena statistički značajna povezanost između motoričkih sposobnosti i usvajanja specifičnih motoričkih plivačkih znanja. Konačno, možemo zaključiti kako je implementacija suvremenih multimedijskih sadržaja u obrazovni proces poželjna metoda poučavanja, usmjerena i na teorijska i na praktična plivačka znanja, a s obzirom da su mlade generacije dominantni nositelji razvoja tehnologije, uvođenje multimedijskih alata u obrazovni proces trebalo bi rezultirati pozitivnim feedbackom.The aim of the research was to determine the effectiveness of two different models (the demonstration method and the method of learning through video clips), that is, two different approaches to learning specific motor skills during classes at the Faculty of Kinesiology in the Swimming subject. In addition to the main goal, the partial goals were: to determine which is best model for students to master more efficiently a specific swimming skill in four swimming techniques, associated starts and turns; to determine the connection of morphological characteristics with swimming skill of all four swimming techniques and associated starts and turns, and; determine the connection between the achieved swimming results at 50 and 25 meters in all four techniques with the skill of swimming in the four swimming techniques and associated starts and turns. The research was conducted on the participants of the Swimming classes at the Faculty of Kinesiology at the University of Zagreb, and a total of 98 male students were examined, making sure that none of the respondents had ever attended swimming school. The respondents were divided into two groups of equal size (N1= 43, N2=55). The sample of variables consisted of three groups of variables, which were: morphological characteristics of the subjects, motor skills of the subjects and variables for evaluating swimming performance. The experiment lasted four months, and classes were held 3 times a week for 45 minutes, while anthropometric measurements were collected before the start of the research. One group learned swimming skills with the help of demonstrators in the water, while for the other group, video clips of individual exercises and techniques were shown with verbal explanations by the professor. Before the experiment started, evaluation criteria were defined and described for each swimming technique on a Likert rating scale. At the end, a score was obtained for each component, that is, the element of each technique (start, technical performance and turn). Before using multivariate statistical methods, Cronbach Alpha parameters, interparticle correlation and applied analysis of variance for repeated measurements were calculated for all variables used with the aim of identifying statistical significance among individual particles. The results showed very high reliability of the measuring instrument. Descriptive statistics indicators were calculated for all variables. The normality of the distribution was tested with the Kolmogorov-Smirnov test with Lilliefors correction. To examine the validity of the data, a factor analysis was applied 9 under the component model with the Guttman-Kaiser criterion for determining the number of extracted parameters, whereby three factors were extracted. To identify differences in the applied learning models in all observed techniques, a two-factor (2×3) analysis of variance was used, and in the case of a significant main effect, Bonferroni's post hoc correction was applied. In swimming technique, no statistically significant difference was identified between the groups, while, as expected, statistically significant differences were found between the technique components (start, technical performance and turn). Canonical correlation analysis was used to establish a significant relationship between morphological characteristics and the acquisition of specific swimming motor skills, as well as to determine a significant relationship between swimming time at 25 and 50 meters and the acquisition of specific swimming motor skills. The results showed that there is no connection between morphological characteristics and learning of specific motor swimming skills, while a statistically significant connection was established between motor abilities and learning of specific motor swimming skills. Finally, we can conclude that the implementation of modern multimedia content in the educational process is a desirable teaching method, focused on both theoretical and practical swimming skill and considering that young generations are dominant carriers of technology development, the introduction of multimedia tools in the educational process should result in positive feedback
