FUNCTIONAL AND MOTOR STATUS OF FOOTBALL ORIENTATION STUDENTS FACULTY OF KINESIOLOGY OSIJEK

Sportska dijagnostika je početni i završni dio trenerskog posla, no vrlo malo trenera je dovoljno obrazovano ili pak dovoljno mari kako bi proveli testiranja u svrhu zdravlja, ili pak napretka svojih sportaša. Funkcionalne i motoričke sposobnosti su neki od najvažnijih faktora uspješnosti u svakom sportu tako i u nogometu. Stoga je pravilno testiranje istih veoma važno kako bi mogli ostvariti planirane rezultate ili pak smanjiti mogućnost ozljeda na minimum. Danas je u svijetu sporta pa tako i nogometu vrlo učestala pojava da se potencijalno vrhunski igrači ozljeđuju te njihova karijera tu staje. Dijagnostikom se mogu uvidjeti potencijalni nedostatci ili deficiti, te raditi na tome kako ne bi došlo do najgoreg. Ovaj rad je baziran na testovima za vrednovanje motoričkih i funkcionalnih sposobnosti. Cilj ovog istraživanja je utvrditi funkcionalno motorički status studenata sportaša usmjerenja nogomet na Kineziološkom fakultetu Osijek. Uzorak istraživanja čine studenti Kineziološkog fakulteta u Osijeku modula nogomet, njih ukupno 23. Varijable koje su praćene u ovom istraživanju su: pretklon raznoženo, sprint 20m, bacanje lopte, sklekovi u minuti, pregib trupa u minuti, trčanje 300m, beep test, iskret, ekstenzija leđa, maksimalni broj zgibova. U radu su uspoređeni rezultati studenata nogometaša s rezultatima drugih sportaša studenata. Rezultati ukazuju na različitost uzorka studenata sportaša Kineziološkog fakulteta u Osijeku, odnosno na velike razlike u razini pripremljenosti studenata nogometaša, što je vidljivo iz visokih rezultata standardnih devijacija testova provedenih na studentima nogometašima. Provedba ovakvih istraživanja je nužna kako bi se pratilo stanje i napredak studenata sportaša u Osijeku i šire okolice.Sports diagnostics is a key part of the coaching job, but very few coaches are educated enough or care enough to conduct testing with the purpose of health, or even progress of their athletes. Functional and motor skills are one of the most important elements of success in every sport, as well as in football, so proper testing is very important because we could achieve the results we planned or reduce injury rate to a minimum. Today, in the sport world, including football, we can often hear that potentially top players are being injured, and that their careers are at a standstill. With diagnostics, we can see potential motor deficiencies or some other deficits, and work on how to avoid the worst. The paper is based on analyzing basic tests to evaluate the motor and functional abilities of football students. Purpose of this paper is to evaluate functional and motor status of students, module football at faculty of Kinesiology in Osijek. The research sample consisted of students of the Faculty of Kinesiology in Osijek, module football 23 of them. Variables of the paper were sitting forward bend, sprint 20m, ball throw, push-ups, torso flexion, 300m, beep test) (shoulder twist, back extension), (pull-up). The paper compares the results of football students with the results of other student athletes. Results show differences of the sample student athletes of faculty of kinesiology in Osijek, that is on big differences in the level of sports fitness, and that is seen from the high results of standard deviation numbers. The implementation of such works is necessary in order to monitor the progress and competition of athletes at the Faculty of Kinesiology in Osijek
