Ispitano je 1304 studenata (857 ženskog spola, 447 muškog) Sveučilišta u Zagrebu. Baterija upitnika se sastojao od hrvatske verzije upitnika International Physical Activity Questionnaire, hrvatske verzije upitnika EMI-2 te Upitnika o bavljenju tjelesnom aktivnošću, koji se temeljina teoriji planiranog ponašanja, kreiranog za potrebe ovog istraživanja.Pokazalo se kako se studenti više od studentica bave tjelesnom aktivnošću u slobodno vrijeme, da su za vježbanje motiviraniji uživanjem, društvenim motivima, kao i snagom i izdržljivošću, dok su studentice motiviranije revitalizacijom te skupinom pretežno zdravstvenih motiva. Što se tiče varijabli teorije planiranog ponašanja, studenti su iskazali statistički znač...

U danasnje vrijeme posao je jedan od najcescih izvora stresa. Sport kao profesija, odnosno ljudi koji rade u sportu također nisu posteđeni stresa i njegovih posljedica. Vrhunski rezultati donose sponzorske ugovore, posljedicno i velike novcane iznose, ali i stres kojem su izloženi igraci kao glavni akteri te treneri kao „ljudi iz sjene“. Individualne strategije suocavanja sa stresom ovise o mnogim faktorima, a spol je jedan od znacajnih. Cilj ovog rada bio je utvrditi razlike u strategijama suocavanja sa stresom između muskih i ženskih sportskih trenera te razlike u strategijama suocavanja s obzirom na dob. U istraživanju je sudjelovalo 85 sportskih trenera, 46 muskog, a 39 ženskog spola. Treneri dolaze iz razlicitih vrsta sporta i treniraju sportase svih uzrasta koji se natjecu na razlicitim razinama natjecanja, od županijskih do svjetskih. Uzorak varij...

Some of them are invariable and the dancers cannot a ffect them (judges, other competitors, music, dance floor, dance partner, etc.). Others are variable, i.e., a dancer can affect them promptly (body condition, outfit, choreography, dance skills, etc.). In addition to the foregoing, the psychological stress of dancers depends on his personality traits and the immediate preparation for the competition

Although our University is a large and among the oldest in the area, our Faculty is a relatively young, small institution of academic education from a small country in transition, which is facing and struggling with typical problems of the era and specifi c social processes. However, all previous efforts of our predecessors, even as far back as the 19th century, but especially of dear doyennes an doyens of kinesiology, as well as the establishing and organisation of the Conference, no matter how inexperienced it might have seemed in the beginning, back in the year 1997 in Dubrovnik, enables us nowadays to be peer members of the circle ...

The aim of this study was to determine if there was a statistically significant difference in prevalence of several kinesiologically sensitive diseases between regularly physically active and inactive women aged 50 to 65. A total of 214 urban women responded to questionnaire on health and physical activity. 111 women participated in aerobic classes 2-4 times a week for at least 5 years, while 103 women were never engaged in regular physical activity. Women were asked if they were diagnosed any of the following diseases / conditions: bone loss, coronary heart disease, heart arrhythmia, hypertension, diabetes mellitus, chronic low back pain, functional limitations of joints, anxiety, and depression. Statistically significant difference in prevalence of only two diseases was found. Significantly lower number of active women stated sympt...

Researchers since the late 1970s have been interested in finding out the reasons attributed to outcomes. To facilitate attribution research in Croatia we translated and validated The Revised Causal Dimension Scale (CDS-II) and examined its invariance when attributing most and least successful competition performances. Materials and methods. To achieve our stated aim, 384 kinesiology students completed the translated CDS-II. To test the latent structure of the questionnaire, we used CFA and tested two alternative models (orthogonal solution and model with correlated latent variables). Additionally, we examined the CDS-II invariance when attributing the most and the least successful competition performance in sport using longitudinal CFA. The reliability was tested using Cronbach alpha coefficients. Lastly, we tested differences in latent means between most and least successful performance using pairwise t-test. Results. Similar to the originally published fi...

Physical activity was consistently related to improvements in self-esteem, self-concept, depressive symptoms, and anxiety/stress. The effect sizes were +.12, -.15, and -.38 for self-esteem/self-concept, stress/anxiety, and depression, respectively. The evidence for hostility/anger and academic achievement was inconclusive. No negative effects of physical activity were reported. The literature suggests that physical activity in youth is psychologically beneficial. More research is needed to confirm previous findings. Adolescents should engage in moderate or vigorous aerobic activity approximately three times per week for a total of at least 60 minutes per week.
