SUMMARY In a study with transversal character participated 40 female volleyball players, selectedby clearly defined critiques. The tests that were conducted are from the domain of specific volleyball coordination (predictors) and the precision of playing a ball with ''bump'' (criteria

Sedentary life significantly affects the working abilities and health status of middle-aged women. On the other hand, appropriate systematic exercise can have a preventive effect on reducing symptoms and the appearance of some diseases, and thus have a positive effect on improving psychosomatic status. The research aimed to determine the subjective assessment of the psychosomatic status of women under the influence of recreational aerobics. The population from which the sample was drawn is a population of healthy women, age from 35 to 45 years, who dominantly live a sedentary lifestyle. For this study, a scale of subjective psychosomatic status assessment (SPPPS) was applied. The scale consists of 32 characteristic discomforts (disorders) which are divided into eight groups: shoulder and arm pain; back pain; leg pain; fatigue and sensorial discomfort; indigestion; cardiovascular disorders; neuropsychiatric disorders, symptoms of general fatigue. The Wilcoxon Signed Ranks test revealed statistically significant changes (p = 0.000) in all analyzed variables between initial and final measurements. Based on this finding, it can be concluded that recreational aerobics has a positive effect on improving the psychosomatic status of sedentary middle-aged women.

On a sample of 71 respondents, 37 boys and 34 girls, age of fourth grade elementary school, accordingly 9 years +/-6 months, it is assessed correlation and prediction of maximal oxygen consumption based measures of morphological range. Maximum oxygen consumption was measured by indirect method, using a fi eld test of maximal multiple load of feedback running at 20 meters. Range of morphology was analyzed based on 5 measures of longitudinal dimensionality, 4 measures of volume and body mass and 3 measures of transversal dimensionality. Results of correlation analysis showed that in both sexes there was no statistically signifi cant correlation between results of maximal oxygen consumption and measures of longitudinal dimensionality, while regression analysis confi rmed that there was no statistically signifi cant prediction of maximum oxygen consumption based on measures of longitudinal dimensionality. While the correlation analysis deduced that part of volume measures and body mass and transversal dimensionality have statistically signifi cant correlation only with female respondents with results of maximal oxygen consumption. Regression analysis showed statistically signifi cant prediction of maximal oxygen consumption based on part of volume measures and body mass and transversal dimensionality. It is determined that female respondents with larger volumes of the thigh and lower leg, accordingly with smaller diameters of knee joint and ankle joint most likely will achieve better results in applied test, and therefore higher maximal oxygen consumption.
