ANTHROPOMETRIC RELATIONS BY MEASURES AND RESULTS IN SOME MOTOR TESTS SUCCESS IN RUNNING THE 400M IN 16-YEAR OLD STUDENTS (Research note)

The aim of this paper was to prove the linkage between the motor skills and anthropometric characteristics as a predictor system with effectiveness and results in running discipline at 400 meters as situational-motor variables of criteria system. The research is made by testing 130 sample of 16 years old male, high school students ±6 months, of the gymnasium “Sami Frasheri”- Kumanovo. There have been used 26 variables in this research. 12 of them are used to evaluate motor skills, 13 for evaluating anthropometric characteristics and 1 of them to evaluate situational-motor skills. By proving the individual influence of motor skills and anthropometric characteristics in successful sprint running at 400 meters, the results bring a conclusion that: motor variables and those anthropometric used as predictor variables in this paper, have significant statistical impact in criteria variables on 400m running (MTP400m). More affinity showed the variable longwise jumping from the point (MCДM) which expresses explosive force and correlates more with 400 meters running and motor variables tapping on feet (MTH) which expresses speed of movement of the lower extremities. Therefore, we can suggest professors and trainers, who are engaged with sprint running, to use more exercises, which develop the explosive force and the speed of movement, notably polymeric exercises. Regarding the anthropometric variable, bigger correlation has been shown by the variable dermal tipple of the arm (AMTP) which correlate positively with running in 400 meter, from which we can conclude that the fullest in the upper limbs are students, the more slowly realize running in the 400 meters and conversely.
