Analysis of motor abilities between male gymnasts of two different countriesMarinšek, Miha (Avtor) Veličković, Saša (Avtor) sports educationgymnasticsmotor abilitiesSloveniaSerbiaThe purpose of the research was to find the differences in motor abilities between Slovenian gymnasts and Serbian gymnasts. We tested 94 male gymnasts from Slovenia and Serbia who were nine to fourteen years old and at the time of testing had been competing for at least two years. We classified gymnasts into three different age groups according to the competition system. We found that statistically significant differences between Slovenian and Serbian gymnasts existed in 18 out of 27 variables and were mostly in favour of Slovenian gymnasts. Most of the differences were detected in specific motor abilities. In our opinion Slovenian gymnasts performed the tests better mostly because of the lack of coaching knowledge and lack of working conditions in Serbian gymnastics.20102012-06-07 11:34:46Znanstveno delo35546sl
