Abstract
The study was carried out with the aim to establish the co-ordination structure of males, positively selected from normal population. For this purpose we tested with 35 tests of co-ordination 100 students at the Faculty for Physical Culture in Ljubljana during the study year 1975/76. To assess the co-ordination abilities we had applied the tests described in the study of J. Sturm "The reliability of motor tests", Institute for Kinesiology at the Faculty Culture in Zagreb. The algorithm MORPHOTAX was applied.
The latent structure was established by means of extraction of major axes significant in the Guttman-Kaiser criterion. By application of this criterion 11 latent dimensions were obtained, while the PB criterion (7latent dimensions) pointed out the possibility of hyperfactorization.
In the orthoblique solution these latent dimensions of co-ordination were interpreted:
- the ability to re-organize motor stereotypes
- the motor educability in timing conditions
- the co-ordination of upper exxtremities
- the speed of co-ordination
- agility
- the ability to solve space problems kineticly
- the speed of co-ordination in complex movements
- the ability to realize rhythmic structures
- the ability to realize rhythmic structures related to an outdoor source of rhythm.
Two dimensions were not interpreted since they were probably artefacts.
The study has shown that in the structure of co-ordination os positively selected persones there is no significant aberration in relation to the co-ordination structure of unselected samples. At the same time, it became evident that with selected samples we can expert a further differentiation of latent dimensions obtained in the study of unselected population.
