Abstract
The research was carried out in order to determine the correlation between morphological characteristics and a representative curriculum topic Bounce from middle position in volleyball from the curriculum unit Games in the Croatian Physical Education curriculum for elementary school female students. In accordance with the above mentioned, a set of 16 anthropometric measurements to evaluate morphological characteristics as well as the test of motor skill Bounce from middle position in volleyball was used on the sample of 152 female students aged 11 (± 6 months). The results of multiple regression analysis showed a high degree of correlation between the set of predictors of applied morphological variables and the criterion variable Bounce from middle position in volleyball (R = .44). The analysis of the partial influence of certain morphological variables on the significance of the regression model showed that the statistically significant contribution is shown by the variables of the back skinfold, the mean chest circumference, the upper arm skinfold, the forearm circumference, the lower leg skinfold and the wrist diameter. The results of the research show the significance of choosing the curriculum topic Bounce from middle position in volleyball in planning the Physical Education lesson to transform certain morphological characteristics in order to achieve the desirable final conditions of the female pupils and also to achieve better results in grading this curriculum content.
