ANTHROPOMETRIC CHARACTERISTICS AND FUNCTIONAL ABILITIES WITH SCHOOL CHILDREN ATHLETES AND NON-ATHLETES FROM PRIZREN

ANTHROPOMETRIC CHARACTERISTICS AND FUNCTIONAL ABILITIES WITH SCHOOL CHILDREN ATHLETES AND NON-ATHLETES FROM PRIZREN

Abstract

The research is conducted on a sample of 120 male students at high school in Prizren. The sample consists of two sub-samples. The first one includes 60 athletes, and the second consists of 60 non-athletes. Four (4) anthropometric measures and four (4) functional tests are applied to them in order to determine if there is statistically significant difference within the anthropometric and functional characteristics between the two sub-samples. The obtained results point to the conclusion that significant differences can be determined in favour of the sub-sample of athletes with the following variables: maximum chest volume (AODG), minimum chest volume (AOMG), the number of inspirations within a minute before loading (FRB1), the number of inspirations within a minute after loading (FRB2), maximum lung capacity before loading (FCV1), and maximum lung capacity after loading (FCV2).
