(AAB College, 2025-07-14) Rexhepi, Fadil; Pireva, Fatmir; Vehapi, Shemsedin; Gashi, Besim
The situation created as a result of the Covid-19 Pandemic has paralyzed the normal life of human society almost all over the globe. In addition to disruption of health, education, economic systems, etc., this situation has seriously damaged physical sports and recreational activities. The necessity to keep fit makes athletes to constantly try and find ways to organize training, while minimizing the risk of infection. Some of these ways are: a) medical measures or continuous testing of athletes; b) ‘team quarantine’ for the longest period of time that minimizes contact with other additional people of the club members where he/she trains; c) maximum care for maintaining the minimum allowed distance and contact between athletes. Meanwhile, outdoor recreational activities can be more easily controlled. However, these ways are not sufficient, so the consequences will be irreparable for a long time.
CINEMATIC ANALYSIS OF THE KICKING LEG VELOCITY AND ITS POSITION DURING PERFORMANCE OF THE MAWASHI GERI TECHNIC ON TARGET
(AAB College, 2025-07-14) Rexhepi, Fadil; Vehapi, Shemsedin; Pireva, Fatmir; Gashi, Besim
In this study is analyzed the kicking leg velocity and its position during performance of the technique by mawashi geri on target. The technique is performed by seven athletes with a maximal engagement on target. The target is fixed at a 1,8m height from the floor. All athletes are of male gender, with solid experience in karate sports and are black belt carriers. The analyzed results reflect the velocity of the kicking leg, including the knee and hip angles for both lower limbs. The maximal kicking leg velocity is 13.97 (m / s) and this is achieved before the target is kicked, or 76.74% of the movement trajectory. The angle on knee at the moment of the peak velocity is 118.14 °, while at the kicking moment; the angle achieves a value of 163 °. The hip angle of the kicking leg is smaller during the peak velocity 112.71 °, while at the moment of kicking the angle achieves the value of 108.42 °. On the supporting leg the knee angle value is almost the same with the moment of the peak velocity and the kicking moment (about 155). Meanwhile, the angle on hip joint of the supporting foot at the moment of the peak velocity is 125 °, respectively 122 °. The obtained results indicate an attempt to reduce the velocity just before the kicking and at the moment of kicking target, which probably presents practice achieved during the training process. The supporting leg takes angles that responding to the balance maintenance, while the kicking leg tends to be more stretched on knee in order to empty all its energy.

(AAB College, 2025-07-14) Vehapi, Shemsedin; Pireva, Fatmir
Uzorak ispitanika je činilo 194 učenika i učenica dvanaestogodišnje dobi, na kojima su posmatrana 3 morfološka parametara potkožnog masnog tkiva i 6 motoričkih testova koji mjere eksplozivnu snagu i brzinu. Glavni cilj ovog istraživanja je bio da se utvrde razlike između učenika i učenica u datim karakteristikama. Uz pomoć adekvatnih metoda utvrđeno je da postoje značajne razlike u motoričkom prostoru i da sve razlike idu u korist učenika muškog spola. Razlike u parametrima potkožnog masnog tkiva, iako idu u korist učenica, nisu na nivou statističke značajnosti. Potvrđene razlike u prostoru motoričkih sposobnosti između spolova su siguran pokazatelj da prilikom planiranja programskih zadataka sa učenicima ovog doba moramo uzeti u obzir određivanje odvojenog nivoa optrećenja i adekvatnog nivoa opterećenja za relevantan spol.

RAZLIKE U MOTORIČKIM I FUNKCIONALNIM SPOSOBNOSTIMA KOD DJEČAKA TREĆEG RAZREDA OSNOVNE ŠKOLE
(AAB College, 2025-07-16) Pireva, Fatmir
Sat tjelesnog i zdravstvenog odgoja predstavlja svojevrstan transformacioni proces, u kome se putem tjelesnog vježbanja ostvaruje utjecaj na antropološki status učenika. Tjelesne aktivnosti koje se upražnjavaju u okviru redovne nastave tjelesnog i zdravstvenog odgoja ukoliko su optimalno dozirane imat će utjecaja na pravilan rast i razvoj učenika. Poznavanje psihosomatskog statusa učenika je neophodno kako bi profesor tjelesnog i zdravstvenog odgoja poznavajući senzitivne faze rasta i razvoja mogao optimalno da djeluje pravilnim doziranjem, intenzitetom i trajanjem određenih sadržaja nastavnog programa na organizam učenika. Poznavanje principa i načela mogućnosti učenika u manifestaciji određenih motoričkih kvaliteta jedna je od primarnih potreba profesora tjelesnog i zdravstvenog odgoja (Klinčarov & Stojanović, 2006). Poznavajući specifičnosti dječijeg organizma (Todorovska, 1997), moguće je definisati i implementirati odgovarajuće nastavne sadržaje (Šukov et al. 1988), za postizanje traženih efekata. Glavni cilj ovog istraživanja je bio da utvrdi razlike između grupa ispitivanih dječaka prije i nakon primjene eksperimentalnog programa nastave tjelesnog i zdravstvenog odgoja
RAZLIKE U MOTORIČKIM SPOSOBNOSTIMA I STEPENU DEFORMITETA STOPALA-PES PLANUS UČENIKA I UČENICA PRVOG RAZREDA OSNOVNE ŠKOLE
(AAB College, 2025-07-14) Pireva, Fatmir
Osnovni cilj ovog istraživanja je utvrđivanje razlika u motoričkim sposobnostima i posturalnom statusu stopala – pes planus učenika i učenica prvog razreda osnovne škole. Istraživanje je sprovedeno na uzorku od 166 učenika i učenica koji je podjeljen na dva subuzorka i to 86 učenika i 80 učenica prvog razreda osnovne škole. U istraživanju je primjenjeno devet (9) varijabli za procjenu motoričkih sposobnosti i osam (8) varijable za procjenu posturanlog statusa stopala – pes planus. Multivarijantnom i univarijantnom analizom varijanse (MANOVA I ANOVA) utvrđene su statistički značajne razlike među ispitivanim grupama učenika i učenica prvog razreda osnovne škole u motoričkim sposobnostima, i to u većini primjenjenih varijabli, sem varijabli fleksibilnosti trupa i brzine frekvencije nogu. Primjenom kontigencijskih tablica prikazane su frekvencije i pripadajući postotci pojave deformiteta stopala – pes planus kod učenika i učenica. Primjenom Hi-kvadrat testa utvrđena je zastupljenost i statistička značajnost razlika deformiteta stopala između spolova (učenici i učenice). Dobijeni rezultati istraživanja ukazuju na relativno veliki procenat deformiteta stopala – pes planus. Utvrđene su statistički značajne razlike u zastupljenosti deformiteta ravnog stopala između polova, s tim što je ovaj deformitet zastupljen više kod učenica. Promjene na svodovima stopala su uglavnom u prvom i drugom stepenu, što omogućava korekciju stanja uz primjenu korektivnih vježbi u radu sa djecom ovog uzrasta. Dobijeni rezultati nam ukazuju na činjenicu da je zbog relativno stabilne faze rasta i razvoja i manjih turbulencija, ali i još uvijek prisutne plastičnosti nervno-mišićnog sistema i sposobnosti za kreativnost djece ovog uzrasta potrebno iskoristiti ovaj period za apliciranje što raznovrsnijih kinezioloških operatora i usvajanja novih motoričkih znanja.

(AAB College, 2025-07-14) Pireva, Fatmir; Vehapi, Shemsedin
Nutrition plays a crucial role in sports. Diet has an important role in human health, especially when the nutritional needs have to be adjusted for different sports. The aim of this study was to find how did COVID-19 impact nutrition and physical activity among students of AAB college. A survey was conducted among students of AAB College from 12-30 April 2023. The survey link was spread to students using Email. Questionnaire included questions regarding: height, weight, physical activity, nutrition, food supplements, during COVID-19 and after COVID-19. A total of 296 students completed the questionnaire, consisting of 211 females and 85 males. Economics had the highest number of students (22.3%) and Mass Communication had the lowest (2.4%); the statistical test (Chi-square) shows a significant difference between the fields. Wilcoxon signed-rank test indicates a significant difference, there is a notable difference in BMI between during COVID-19 and after COVID-19. Consumption of meat and cereals changed significantly during and after COVID-19 (χ² = 9.33, p = 0.003), χ²= 20.06, p = 0.000. Consumption of fruits, vegetables, dairy products, and foods high in fat, sugar, and salt did not change significantly. Physical activity levels during and after COVID-19 also showed a significant change (χ² = 4.96, p = 0.033), indicating that some students started exercising again. Consumption of meat and cereals changed significantly during and after COVID-19 and the importance of wellbeing (nutrition, physical activity) can be used as an incentive to maintain an active lifestyle and healthy food consumption.
The Impact of Extracurricular Physical Activities on the Development of Motor Skills and anthropometric characteristics in 12 Year School Children
(AAB College, 2025-07-14) Pireva, Fatmir; Vehapi, Shemsedin
This study aims to establish differences in anthropometric characteristics and motor-basic skills between children who actively engage in sports outside of regular learning activities and those who are inactive. The study included 100 male children aged 12 years, from elementary school “TREPÇA” in Istog. Fifty of them are actively involved in different sports, while the other fifty are not active besides the school PE classes. The methods used to achieve the objectives of this study include descriptive statistical methods (measures of central tendency, distribution, and correlations), as well as the T-test method to confirm differences between the groups. The results were analysed using SPSS 20.0 software. In the anthropometric domain, statistically significant changes are observed in all variables except for thigh circumference, and these changes favour active children. Similarly, there are statistically significant changes in motor skills in all variables, except for the variable of standing long jump, again in favour of active children. Based on the anthropometric parameters, it can be concluded that the biological development and growth of these children are normal for their age. The distribution of results in anthropometric and motoric variables is normal, with slight asymmetry and predominantly positive values. After analyzing the results, it is clear that statistically significant changes were observed in most of the assessments conducted in this study. In the anthropometric domain, significant statistical differences were found in all variables except arm span. Likewise, in the basic motor skills domain, the active student group consistently outperformed their inactive peers in all tests, indicating higher proficiency levels among the active cohort
