Sažetak
Relations between morphological characteris- tics, assessed by 15 morphological measures, and motor abilities, assessed by 24 motor tests, were investigated on the total cross-sectional sample of 400 male participants from Slovenia (200 boys of 7 and 200 boys of 9 years). Associations between these two groups of variables were determined by the Hotteling’s biorthogonal canonical correlation analysis and, consequently, a large number of sig- nificant canonical pairs were obtained. In the present study only the first pair of canonical dimensions obtained has been interpreted because of limited space, and because the first pair exhausted the lar- gest portion of variability due to the method applied. The remaining dimensions, although important to the explanation of the entire common covariability, probably represent the structure of the highly spe- cific parts of variances of particular groups of variables, pertaining to either single variables, or to single pairs. Association between blocks of mor- phological and motor variables in boys is strong, well differentiated and very high. Significant relations have been determined between the energy regu- lation system and morphological variables in both the latent and manifest space. General positive rela- tions were determined between utilized morpho- logical variables and the motor variables saturated predominantly by the measures of dimensions of the excitation intensity regulation mechanism (horizontal jump, throwing the medicine ball, grip strength), whereas negative relations of anthropometric di- mensions occur with regard to the measures asses- sing dimensions of the excitation duration regulation mechanism (600m running, endurance shuttle run, sit-ups in 60 sec). The influence of longitudinal body dimensions and ballast body mass is greater in 9- year olds.
