This research is stressed at time and space characteristics (centre of gravity movements) in female pole vault. There are involved 19 female pole vault jumpers with sport performance 380 – 483 cm, divided on 2 different groups; higher and lower level from the point of sport performance. We found that in time parameters reached better results high performance level jumpers in phases hanging and lifting. It is coursed by better transmission on pole after take-off and by better work on the pole. As for the centre of gravity the jumpers of higher performance reached higher growth in all phases. The most significant difference can be seen in phase of lifting. Comparison of time and space characteristics enable to show the way for technique improvement in female pole-vault. Key words: female pole vault, rhythm of the jump, centre of gravity height

Introduction: Regular whole life recreational movement activity plays irreplaceable role for increasing individual health and prolonging active life. From the point of the view the childhood and adolescent age are the decisive periods for performing physical activities and its integration into life of each man. University students are specific and numerous social groups. Hey are in critical age from the point of performing recreational activities and thus their physical fitness level can often decrease. In this contribution authors deal with relationships of physical activity attitudes with somatic and physical fitness parameters of Slovak universities students.Material and methods: In this research are involved 606 students, 344 males and 262 females from two Bratislava Universities (8 faculties). Attitudes were estimated by Lickert scale in three components (cognitive, emotional and tendency to act), from somatic parameters were measured body height and body weight, physical fitness was evaluated with reduced Eurofit and former Czechoslovak battery tests: sit and reach, standing broad jump, medicine ball throw, shuttle run 10x5m, sit-ups and endurance shuttle run. We have available students from the Faculty of Physical Education and Sports (FSPORT) and from 8 different faculties (not physical education and sport study orientation). Differences and relationships were evaluated by t-test and correlative coefficients; we used •p<0.05, ••p<0.01 significance level. Results: We found that there are not great differences between somatic parameters FSPORT and others faculties, both male and female. In physical fitness factors reached clear majority FSPORT students. In attitudes reached significantly higher levels FSPORT students in all three components, mainly in component tendency to act. Gender differences in attitudes were not very different. Components of attitudes relate to physical fitness level mostly in groups of other faculties students, more often among females. Conclusions: We proved that lower like average values in component tendency to act in other faculties courses often lack of physical activity and it influences also lower level of physical fitness. We suppose that entrance in FSPORT studies also means that attitudes components must reach relatively higher levels.
