“…Eurofit test batteries have been used for more than two decades to assess children's physical skills in Europe and the world (Drljačić et al, 2012). Nonetheless, limited research has concentrated on the association between strength levels assessed through the Eurofit battery test and swimming velocity.…”

The correlation between specific attributes such as strength, power, balance, flexibility, and swimming speed can play a significant role in the selection process. Tests like the Eurofit test battery can provide insights into the evaluation of these parameters. However, very few studies have focused on the correlation between data obtained from the Eurofit test battery and swimming speed. Therefore, the aim of this study is to determine the relationship between the Eurofit test battery results and freestyle swimming times in the age range of 7-11 years for swimmers. A total of 30 athletes participated in the study, including 14 males and 16 females. The tests were conducted according to the instructions of the Eurofit Test Battery in a manner consistent with its guidelines. Correlation tests were applied to assess the strength of relationships among all parameters based on the normal distribution status of the athletes' data. Pearson correlation test type was used for parameters exhibiting a normal distribution, while Spearman Rank correlation test type was employed for parameters not showing a normal distribution. In the findings, a significant positive correlation was found between free still swimming time and balance, arm movement time (sec), while a significant negative correlation was found between flexibility, long jump, hand grip and 30 s sit-up. As a result, it can be said that balance and arm movement speed are positively correlated with free still swimming time of elementary school swimmers, whereas 30 s sit-up (sec), hand grip strength, long jump and flexibility are negatively correlated.

“…Research like this is important since it finds out different ways to increase movement activities of female students and decreases negative effects of sedentary way of life [13]. Variables of morphological status are gathered in a way described by authors Drljačić et al [15] and Mikić [16] (Table 4.) Sig2 .004/.004 show there is difference between results.…”

Background: This research was done as continuation of research made previously on male population. The goal of this research is to determine „differences between morphological characteristics and motoric capabilities of physically active and inactive female students “. Methods: Sample of physically inactive female students was made of 54 examinees and sample for active students was made of 52 girls. Average age was 12. All girls were primary school students. Physically inactive students regularly attended PE lessons and active students were involved in training process of basketball, volleyball, football and handball teams. Additional practice was done two times a week for 90 minutes. Morphological space is set by 15 variables and motoric space is set with 24 variables. Results: Statistical difference was determined by T-test on level (p<0.05). Significance given by T-test was checked by calculating Eta coefficient. Such data has differences in Chest Width (.00/.00 and η2=0,33), Weight (.00/.00 and η2=0,34), Stomach Skin Curves (.00/.00 and η2=0,37) and Back Skin Curves (.05/.05 and η2=0,16). Motoric space has differences in: Slalom with Three Medicine Balls (.00/.00 and η2=0.01), Throwing medicine ball from the chest (.00/.00 and η2=0,10), Long Jump (.00/.00 and η2=0,17), Push-ups (.02/.02 and η2=0.05), Sit-and-Reach (.04/.04 and η2=0.00) and 20m low start run (.00/.00 and. η2=0,14). Conclusions: After analysis it can be stated the aim of the research was completed and differences of anthropological status of physically active and inactive female students were determined. Students of age 12 can be recommended additional training activity to positively transform anthropological spaces with no transformation. Research with same or similar variables should be done on different age categories when compared to this one or to analyze quality of influence that specific sports have on transformation in this age category.
