The canonical relations between morphological dimensions and strength among high school female students

Abstract

The research was carried out on a sample of 55 female high school students from Niš, 15 years of age (± 6 months). The aim of the research was to determine the canonical correlations between morphological dimensions, on the one hand, and tests for the evaluation of repetitive strength on the other, among the female students. The problem of this research was the evaluation of the influence of morphological dimensions on the achieved results for repetitive strength. 10 anthropometric measurements of morphological characteristics were used, which define longitudinal dimensionality and dimensionality of the skeleton, transversal dimensionality of the skeleton and circular dimensionality and body mass. Repetitive strength was evaluated by means of three tests. The results of the canonical correlation analysis have shown that a significant canonical factor can be found between the morphological dimensions (as the predictor system) and explosive strength (as the criterion system), along with a high corre analysis.
