20.500.12556/DKUM-76082 Police officersʼ motor abilities and their link to martial arts achievements Povezanost motoričnih sposobnosti policistov in njihove uspešnosti pri borilnih veščinah Purpose: The objective of this paper is to determine the link between police officers’ motor abilities and their achievements in the martial arts. Design/Methods/Approach: The research involved a sample of 140 police officers employed by the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Republic of Croatia. The sample of criterion variables involves evaluating five groups of elements that are used to assess the quality of performing martial arts elements: N1 – strikes and blocks; N2 – judo falls and throwing; N3 – arrest techniques; N4 – defence against an unarmed attacker; and N5 – defence against an armed attacker. The quality of a performance was evaluated by three kinesiologists who are martial arts instructors. The sample of predictor variables involves 17 tests for assessing motor abilities and one test for assessing functional abilities. Findings: Regression analyses revealed a significant correlation between the predictor variables and each of the five criterion variables. The link between the police officers’ achievements in the martial arts and their motor abilities was defined according to the following variables: side steps, standing long jump, throwing a 3-kg medicine ball, push-ups in one minute, overhand grip pull-ups on a bar, and squats in one minute. Value: It may be concluded from the research results that attention should be paid in the martial arts training of police officers to developing and improving their coordination, agility, as well as their explosive and repetitive strength. Namen prispevka: Namen prispevka je ugotoviti povezanost motoričnih sposobnosti policistov z njihovo uspešnostjo pri borilnih veščinah. Metode: Raziskava je izvedena na vzorcu 140 policistov Ministrstva za notranje zadeve Republike Hrvaške. Vzorec kriterijskih spremenljivk vključuje 5 skupin elementov, ki se uporabljajo za ocenjevanje kakovosti izvedbe elementov borilnih veščin: N1 – udarci in blokade; N2 – judo padci in meti; N3 – tehnike za privedbo; N4 – obramba pred neoboroženim napadalcem; N5 – obramba pred oboroženim napadalcem. Kakovost izvedbe elementov so ocenjevali trije kineziologi, inštruktorji borilnih veščin. Vzorec neodvisnih spremenljivk vključuje 17 testov za oceno motoričnih sposobnosti in 1 test za oceno funkcionalnih sposobnosti. Ugotovitve: Z regresijsko analizo so bile ugotovljene pomembne korelacije med neodvisnimi in kriterijskimi spremenljivkami. Povezanost med uspešnostjo pri borilnih veščinah in motoričnimi sposobnostmi policistov se kaže v naslednjih spremenljivkah: koraki v stran, skok v daljino z mesta, met 3 kg medicinske žoge, sklece v eni minuti, zgibi na prečki in počepi v eni minuti. Pomembnost prispevka: Iz rezultatov raziskave lahko zaključimo, da je treba med treningom borilnih veščin pri policistih posvečati pozornost tudi razvoju in izboljšanju koordinacije, agilnosti, eksplozivne in repetitivne moči. police police officers self-defence motor abilities Croatia policija policisti samoobramba motorične sposobnosti Hrvaška true true true Angleški jezik Slovenski jezik Znanstveno delo 2020-04-15 14:49:58 2020-04-15 14:49:58 2022-08-09 12:05:10 2020-04-17 03:20:20 2017 0 0 str. 138-150 št. 2 Letn. 19 2017 0000-00-00 Zaloznikova Objavljeno NiDoloceno 0000-00-00 0000-00-00 0000-00-00 796:351.74/.76(497.5) 99492352 4431816 1580-0253 URN:SI:UM:DK:T8H6APWY 03_Laus_Ribicic_rV_2017-2.pdf 03_Laus_Ribicic_rV_2017-2.pdf 1 4924162FCF031F2978F502FCCDBB9BC2 d30ed60f1bcc77ab832f5bf58ce306617098df64032e9e2be6afb0c1777c1016 42c7763a-7c11-11eb-bb7a-00155d0001ca 20.500.12556/dkum/773ab43e-5501-40d2-84fd-a68cb92d186c https://dk.um.si/Dokument.php?lang=slv&id=141320 https://www.fvv.um.si/rv/arhiv/2017-2/03_Laus_Ribicic_rV_2017-2-E.html 1 https://dk.um.si/Dokument.php?lang=slv&id=141321 Fakulteta za varnostne vede Varstvoslovje 0 0 0
