This paperprovides an overview of the Covid-19 pandemic that has struck the world, the Republic of Croatia, the City of Zadar and it's athletes and other sports stakeholders. The impact has significant consequences on health, the economy, and people's daily lives. It will be shown how and to what extent, the lack of sports activities affects the psychosomatic status of athletes and other sports participants and whether media broadcasts can replace the holding of "normal competitions" and also, the question arises as to whether online training is an adequate complement to the regular training process. The results of the research show that with all digital technology, it is still determined that the new virtual training violates the psychosomatic status of athletes and employees in sports. Online training is only partially an appropriate replacement for the regular training process. Also, there is significantly less interest in sports competitions without the presence of fans.

In modern society, there is an increasing need to organize and fill the free time of children and young people. Observing and comparing the previous research on the free time of children and young people, it is evident that physical activity determined through sports is insufficiently practiced in the free time of children and young people. Youth sports games in the City of Zadar and Zadar County have been organized and held for many years, so they have proven to be promoters of a healthy lifestyle for children and youth. For the purposes of research and examination of respondents' satisfaction with the role and status of youth sports games in the City of Zadar and Zadar County, a survey method was used, where the sample consists of 467 participants in youth sports games, aged 12 to 18 for 2019 from the City Zadar and Zadar County. The aim of the research was to determine the degree of significance of youth sports competitions for participants and to directly determine the degree of socialization of that population caused by participation in competitions. According to the results of the research, it was determined that youth sports competitions are important for the participants, whose socialization in society has improved in accordance with the mentioned activity.

The main goal of the presented study is to examine the connection between body coordination and visual-motor integration and to determine the dynamics of motor development for an integrative approach in Kinesiological Education and Kinesiological Didactics. Following the above, the problem of the possible connection between visual-motor integration and macro motor abilities is posed, which is especially important from the aspect of Kinesiological Education and the possible transfer of the effects of program content to this dimension. The sample of respondents for this study included a total of 110 subjects aged 3 to 10 years. For the analysis of the correlation of two sets of manifest variables, canonical correlation analysis was used to determine the structural correlation of the two sets of variables, i.e. the results of body coordination tests and test results for assessing the degree of visual-motor integration. The results of the presented study show the connection between the two observed dimensions in the preschool period and the tendency of gradual differentiation as a function of time in primary school students. The obtained findings indicate the importance of an integrative approach to the motor development of children and students in the aspects of planning and programming and the implementation of Physical Education.

Peripheral nerves in athletes are susceptible to injury due to an increase in physiological requirements in the training process to neurological structures and to the soft tissues that protect them. The training process is conditioned by the rank and level of competition and its implementation largely depends on the education of professional staff. Common mechanisms of injury are pressure, sprain, strain, ischemia, and sports injury. Seddon's original system of dividing nerve injuries based on neurophysiological changes is most widely used in medicine. The initial stage of nerve injury is neuropraxia, the second stage is axonal degeneration, and the third stage is nerve cutting. Peripheral nerve injuries are more common in the upper extremities than in the lower extremities. They have specifics related to a particular sport, in this case, football and basketball, and often have a biomechanical component in the making. Early detection allows an appropriate rehabilitation program to be initiated and biomechanics changed before the nerve injury becomes permanent. Recognizing nerve injury requires an understanding of peripheral neuroanatomy, knowledge of common nerve injury sites, and awareness of the types of peripheral nerve injuries that are common and specific to a particular sport. Rehabilitation programs in the field of kinesiology can be read through FMS protocols. Electrodiagnostic tests (electromyography), somatosensory evoked potentials, magnetic resonance imaging, and ultrasound are used to diagnose peripheral nerve injuries. Proximal peripheral nerve injuries have a slightly poorer prognosis in terms of neurological recovery in athletes. The survey determined the frequency of injuries in the subjects and that there is a misunderstanding among the athletes themselves, which is a peripheral nerve injury. The survey also found that peripheral nerve injuries occur due to acute injuries, while chronic injuries are excessive, resulting in damage to muscles and joints, and rarely as a result of inappropriate sports equipment. Athletes' knowledge of what constitutes a peripheral nerve injury itself and how this type of injury should be given more importance in further general prevention has also been established.

Uzorak je činio 121 ispitanik iz petih i šestih razreda osnovnih škola grada Zadra. Provedeno je istraživanje kako bi se utvrdile razlike između učenika koji, osim tjelesnog i zdravstvenog odgoja pohađaju i neki drugi oblik izvannastavne sportske aktivnosti. Provođenjem deskriptivne analize dobili smo rezultate koji nam pokazuju da su muški učenici koji se bave izvannastavnom aktivnošću postigli 21,28% bolje prosječne rezultate od ispitanika koji se ne bave izvannastavnim aktivnostima. Ispitanice uključene u izvannastavne aktivnosti su postigle 9,16% bolje rezultate od ispitanica koje se nisu bavile izvannastavnim aktivnostima (bolji rezultati u testu za procjenu funkcionalne sposobnosti (F6 test)). Korištenjem t-testa otkrili smo da su empirijske razine značajnosti statistički značajne (p = 0,000) za sve ispitanike kod oba spola u funkcionalnim sposobnostima (F6 test). Autori mogu tvrditi da učenici koji pohađaju neke oblike izvannastavnih sportskih aktivnosti imaju bolji rezultat u varijabi F6. Izvođenjem regresijske analize autori ne mogu predvidjeti rezultat u F6 testu na temelju antropometrijskih karakteristika tjelesne visine (TV) i tjelesne težine (TT). Broj nastavnih sati i trajanje sata tjelesnog odgoja u osnovnoj školi nije dovoljan za razvoj funkcionalne sposobnosti. Da bi poboljšali funkcionalne sposobnosti učenika, svaki bi ih učitelj trebao potaknuti da pohađaju neke dodatne oblike izvannastavnih sportskih aktivnosti u vidu poboljšanja cjelokupnog antropološkog statusa. Niže funkcionalne sposobnosti imaju posljedice i veći rizik od raznih bolesti. Stoga ne postoji aktivnost poput sportskog treninga kako bi se spriječili potencijalni problemi.
