The research was conducted on a sample of 27 male students of the first year of the Faculty of Security Studies in order to determine the value of the functional capabilities of the students of the Faculty of Security Sciences achieved during the Cooper test and the Beep test, in order to consider the possibility of applying the Beep test in the process of assessing the functional capabilities of students when conducting the selection process for admission to the faculty. Using the appropriate statistical procedure, it was found that there is no statistically significant connection of variables for the evaluation of morphological characteristics with the results achieved on the Beep test and the Cooper test, as well as that there is no statistically significant connection of variables for the assessment of morphological characteristics with the obtained results of maximum oxygen consumption on the Beep test and Cooper test. Also, it was found that there is no a difference in maximum oxygen consumption between the tests that were applied. Considering variability of the load that is characteristic of the Beep test and the similarities with specific activities characteristic for the performance of elements and their connections in the teaching process of the SFO (Special Physical Education Program), the authors suggest that the Beep test should be included in the tests that are used to determine the functional capabilities of the candidates when conducting the selection process for admission candidates for education at the Faculty of Security Sciences. The gathered information can also be used to make and optimize the plan and program of the SFO, as well as to create homogeneous groups in order to achieve efficient learning outcomes.

Na uzorku od 84 studenta prve godine Fakulteta bezbjednosnih nauka Univerzitetau Banjoj Luci primijenjen je skup od 17 morfoloških mjera sa ciljem utvrđivanja latentnestrukture morfoloških karakteristika. Faktorskom analizom izdvojena su tri faktorakoji su interpretirani kao: faktor volumena i mase tijela, faktor longitudinalne i transferzalnedimenzionalnosti tijela i faktor fi zičkog tjelesnog sastava procijenjen na osnovudebljine potkožnog masnog tkiva. Ovaj rad je pokušaj da se pokaže da je izdvojena latentnahijerarhijska struktura morfoloških faktora od izuzetne teorijske i paraktične vrijednosti,pri čemu bi pomenuti faktori trebali predstavljati odrednicu za predikciju antropometrijskihkarakteristika i programiranje trenažnih operatora u nastavi Specijalnog fi zičkogobrazovanja.

A system of 16 motor variables was used to determine thestructure of motor skills in a sample of 84 students at the Faculty of SecuritySciences in Banja Luka. By using factor analysis according to the Kaiser-Guttmanrule, 6 latent motor dimensions were determined. The first factor is defined asthe factor for the structuring movement mechanism, because it is presentedwith the variables used to assess coordination and movement frequency. Thesecond factor is defined as the factor for the mechanism for regulating excitationduration, because it is represented by the measures used to assess the repetitiveand static strength of arms, body, and legs. The third factor is defined as thefactor for the tone regulation and synergistic regulation mechanism, becauseit is represented by the variables used to assess the measures of flexibility. Thefourth factor is defined as the factor for the excitation intensity mechanism,because it is represented by the variable used to assess explosive power throughthe run speed capability. The fifth factor is also defined as the factor forsynergistic regulation and tonus regulation, because it is represented by thevariable used to assess balance, while the sixth factor is defined as the factor forexcitation intensity, because it is represented by three variables used to assessexplosive power and one variable used to assess flexibility. This paper is anattempt to demonstrate that the distinguished hierarchical structure of motorskills is of exceptional theoretical and practical value, whereby these factorsshould represent a determinant for predicting motor skills and programingoperator training in special physical education classes.
