Abstract
The aim of this research was to determine the relation between the anthropometrical variables and kinematic parameters
that infl uence the standing long jump effi ciency in boys and adolescents aged 4 to 18, as well as students of second
year of Faculty of Kinesiology. With this aim, a sample of 120 examinees has been selected and divided into 5 experimental
groups consisting of 20 boys and adolescents (aged 4 to 6, 7 to 9, 10 to 12, 13 to 15, 16 to 18), and one control group
consisting of 20 second year students of Faculty of Kinesiology. The sample of variables consisted of 21 kinematic parameters
relevant for effi cient standing long jump performance, followed by battery of 13 morphological characteristics, as
well as the age of the examinees. This research determined the relation between certain morphological characteristics and
kinematic parameters relevant for standing long jump performance. It can be concluded that in adults, the jump length
was primarily infl uenced by body mass, subcutaneous fat tissue and body fat percentage, while in younger age groups,
besides the mentioned measures, the examinees who were taller, had longer arms and legs achieved better results.
