ANALIZA DHE KRAHASIMI I PËRBËRËSVE TRUPORË TE BASKETBOLLISTET NGA KLUBET E BASKETBOLLIT ATHINAIKOS & ANTAIOS BC DHE KBF PRISHTINA
(AAB College, 2025-11-26) Rrahmani, Agnesa
This study aims to analyze anthropometric measurements and assess their impact on the sports performance of elite female basketball players. The research included a total of 32 basketball players from the Athinaikos BC team and Antaios BC from the Greek Super League, comparing them with those from the BC Prishtina team, who were measured for parameters such as height, weight, body fat percentage, muscle mass and other body indices through Tanita analysis, where all data were accurately analyzed by the SPSS program using descriptive analysis. In addition, the research method was also used through a questionnaire conducted by me with the participation of 45 active female basketball players from the Kosovo Super League, where the results showed that some of these body indicators, especially muscle mass and fat percentage, are directly related to the main elements of basketball performance, such as strength, jumping and endurance. This shows that anthropometric measurements can be a valuable tool to better understand the physical needs of athletes and to help in their preparation. The study provides data that can be used by coaches and physical training specialists to build more effective and personalized programs for elite athletes.

This study aims to analyze the differences between preferences for recreational sports activities and lifestyle factors among the population of the Municipality of Rahovec, with a particular focus on the influence of gender and place of residence (urban and rural). The research was conducted on a sample of 200 respondents, equally distributed by gender and place of residence. Data were collected through a structured questionnaire, while both descriptive and inferential statistics were used for data analysis, specifically the Chi-Square test to assess the relationships between categorical variables. The results of the study indicate that there are no statistically significant differences between females and males regarding participation in recreational sports activities, suggesting similar behavioral patterns across genders. In contrast, place of residence emerges as a significant factor, with respondents from urban areas demonstrating higher levels of participation in recreational activities compared to those from rural areas. Regarding lifestyle factors, such as cigarette consumption, alcohol consumption, dietary habits, and sleep duration, no statistically significant relationships were found with participation in recreational activities in most cases. In conclusion, the findings highlight place of residence as a more influential determinant than gender in explaining participation in recreational activities, while the examined lifestyle factors do not appear to be strong predictors of this phenomenon. The results contribute to a better understanding of physical activity patterns at the local level and may serve as a basis for developing policies and interventions aimed at promoting a more active lifestyle within the community.

This study aims to determine the relationship between physical development and body composition, as well as to identify differences between male and female handball players in terms of physical development and body composition. The research sample consists of players from the Kosovo Super League in handball. A total of (N=70) individuals participated in the study, including (N=35) male and (N=35) female handball players, representing both genders in this championship. The sample includes 11 morphological and body composition variables, which were analyzed using the "TANITA" measuring device. To assess differences between male and female handball players in anthropometric variables and body composition, an independent samples t-test was used to compare the mean values of the two groups. The results revealed statistically significant correlations between various morphological parameters and body composition components, including strong associations between muscle mass and visceral fat. Significant statistical differences were found between male and female handball players in most body composition variables, while certain components such as bone mass or density (ADEKO), body mass index (AIMTR), and visceral fat (AYNVI) did not show notable differences between groups. However, no significant differences were identified in body mass index (BMI) between the two groups. These findings support the proposed hypotheses, providing a deeper understanding of the body structure of male and female handball players and its impact on sports performance. The results of this study offer valuable insights into the relationships between morphological parameters and body composition among handball players, identifying statistically significant correlations and differences. These findings may be useful for optimizing training strategies and enhancing sports performance in handball

The primary aim of this thesis is to analyze the impact of morphological characteristics and explosive motor abilities on the performance of female volleyball players who participated in the final of the 2023 European Women's Volleyball Championship. Special focus is placed on the national teams of Turkey and Serbia, the champion and runner-up respectively, as well as their qualifying teams. The sample consisted of 216 athletes in total: 106 from the Turkish group and 108 from the Serbian group. Several key morphological and motor variables were selected and analyzed: age, body height, body weight, body mass index (BMI), spike jump height, and block jump height. The methodology included the use of analysis of variance (ANOVA) and Post Hoc-LSD multiple comparison tests to identify statistical differences between groups. The statistical results confirmed the validity of parametric techniques, although two motor variables demonstrated asymmetry, suggesting that non-parametric methods could also be considered. Importantly, no statistically significant differences were found in body height or spike jump height between the national teams and their respective qualifying teams. These findings suggest that such characteristics are standardized at the elite level and serve as fundamental selection criteria. However, a statistically significant difference was found in block jump height, where Serbian players outperformed their opponents from some qualifying teams. Additionally, Turkish players had a noticeably higher body mass index compared to Serbian players. These differences indicate varying levels of physical preparation and body composition. Although some variables did not yield statistically significant differences, they remain important indicators for talent selection and team development. Ultimately, the success of elite-level teams is not solely based on physical or motor parameters but also on factors such as experience, team cohesion, tactical training, and psychological readiness. This study offers valuable insights for coaches and sports professionals in selecting athletes and designing training strategies for modern elite volleyball.
Biomechanic analysis on the slalom turn speed with top skiers
(AAB College, 2025-07-14) Metaj, Zenel
Skiing is accomplished under special racing conditions, including environment (tracks, trails), which has specific characteristics. Studying the techniques of alpine skiing is difficult to be realized under laboratory conditions, therefore the research should be accomplished in conditions that are defined by the environment or the race tracks. In order to determine the effectiveness of the slalom certain passages of tracks which differ in features in slalom races were selected. In order to have accurate recorded data that represents the slalom technique, speed was selected as the most important biomechanical parameter that characterizes the cinematic space of alpine skiing. With the analysis of the results and statistical processing, the conclusion is that the speed in given stages of the curve of slalom changes.

This study aims to analyze and compare several anthropometric characteristics and basic motor skills between two groups of children aged 13 and 14: those who practice gymnastics and those who are not engaged in regular sports activities. A total of 57 participants were included in this study, divided into two groups: gymnasts and non-athlete students. Anthropometric indicators such as body height, body weight, body mass index (BMI), and limb circumference were measured. In terms of motor skills, capacities such as strength, speed, endurance, and coordination were evaluated. The results showed that gymnasts had a clear advantage in most parameters of basic motor abilities, as well as significant differences in certain anthropometric features, reflecting the positive impact of regular training on the physical and functional development of children. These findings highlight the importance of early involvement in sports such as gymnastics to improve not only motor performance but also overall physical development and health.

This study aims to examine the differences in technical efficiency in volleyball performance among four groups: the Turkish national team, the Turkish rivals, the Serbian national team, and the Serbian rivals. A total of thirteen (13) technical performance variables were included, divided into four main categories: serving (3 variables), reception (4 variables), attack (5 variables), and blocking (1 variable). The primary goal was to determine whether statistically significant differences exist among the groups regarding technical game performance. Statistical analysis was conducted using ANOVA, followed by Duncan's post hoc test, to identify specific group differences. The results showed that national teams generally performed better across most technical components compared to their rival teams. The Turkish team stood out in terms of the number of aces and percentage of highly successful attacks, while the Serbian team showed better efficiency in reception and points earned from blocking. The Serbian rivals were the weakest group in variables such as service and attack, while the Turkish rivals struggled more in positive receptions and committed more reception errors. Statistically significant differences (p < 0.05) were found in some variables, while others showed clear practical differences without strong statistical significance. Differences between the Turkish and Serbian national teams were minor and often not statistically significant, indicating a relatively similar technical level. The research hypotheses were only partially confirmed. These findings suggest that improving certain technical components—especially among rival teams—can directly impact game outcomes. The study emphasizes the importance of detailed statistical analysis in helping coaches and staff develop targeted training and game preparation strategies.In conclusion, this research provides a clear overview of the technical strengths and weaknesses between the analyzed groups, contributing to the development of performance analysis in volleyball and offering practical recommendations for improvement in specific areas of play

The main aim of this research was to analyze the impact of motor skills on the selection and classification of young footballers, focusing on identifying statistically significant relationships between variables of sports performance and decision-making at the selection level. This study included 60 young footballers, to whom various measures of motor skills were applied. A battery of tests was used to assess motor characteristics, including: explosive strength, speed, coordination and football-specific skills. Statistical and econometric tests were used to analyze the data, including the Shapiro-Wilk test for normality, correlation analysis to identify relationships between variables, classification analysis (K-means) to divide footballers into groups according to performance, as well as regression analysis to test the impact of motor skills on selection. The results showed that most of the motor variables do not deviate from the normal distribution (p > 0.05), confirming the validity of the data. Correlation analysis identified significant positive associations between several skills, especially MVRSLLA, MVR20M, MT-Test, MKGJ and MTHAE. Classification analysis (K-means) divided the footballers into three homogeneous groups: 25% with average performance, 35% with good performance and 40% with high performance. Regression analysis showed that some of the motor variables have a positive and statistically significant impact on the selection of footballers. Based on the results obtained, we can conclude that motor skills play an important role in the selection process of young footballers, and classification analysis can be used as an effective method to identify young talents in football
ECURIA E KLUBEVE KOSOVARE NË GARAT EVROPIANE (CHAMPIONS LEAGUE DHE EUROPACONFERENCE LEAGUE) – SFIDAT STRUKTURORE DHE MENAXHERIALE
(AAB College, 2026-04-16) Mujaj, Endrit
This master’s thesis examines the impact of managerial structures on the performance of Kosovar football clubs in elite UEFA competitions, such as the Champions League and Europa Conference League. The primary objective of this study is to analyze how the transition from traditional leadership models to professional sports management affects financial sustainability and sporting success. The methodology combines descriptive analysis of the legal framework, comparative financial data analysis, and case studies of selected elite Kosovar clubs. The key findings indicate that, despite technical progress, clubs continue to face significant structural challenges, particularly regarding the lack of clear separation of powers and high dependence on a single revenue source. The study demonstrates that achieving long-term success in the international arena requires a shift from the “sole-owner model” to a comprehensive corporate governance system. The recommendations provided serve as a roadmap for professionalizing club administration, digitalizing operational processes, and strategically investing in youth academies, which represent the clubs’ most important long-term assets.

The purpose of the paper is to prove and analyze the physical preparation before and after 36 training sessions, by performing the initial measurements before the beginning of the 36 training sessions and after the end of the 36 training sessions. These measurements were taken at the "SC Gjilani" Football Club. The sample included 22 footballers from the "SC Gjilani" Football Club, in these measurements we applied 3 measurements to the variables of functional abilities, 3 measurements of explosive strength, 3 measurements of repetitive strength and 3 specific motor measurements. To determine the difference Between the variables of functional abilities, explosive strength, repetitive strength and specific motor variables, we applied the analysis of differences Paired Samples Test, T-Test for the dependent group. The results we have obtained after processing and interpretation show that the tests to which they have been applied meet the criteria for application because the results we have obtained show that there are no big differences, which we have verified through the test of asymmetry (Skewnees), the test of Kolmogorov and Smirnov (KS). The differences Between the initial and final measurements show that the applied methods have influenced the increase of motor skills, functional and specific motor skills

Aim: The main purpose of this master's thesis was to analyze and compare the differences in anthropometric characteristics and functional abilities between junior handball and football players (aged 17–18 years) from the Kosovo Superliga. Methods: The study involved 70 junior athletes (N=70), divided equally into two groups: 35 junior handball players (G1) and 35 junior football players (G2). Twelve anthropometric variables were measured (body weight, height, various body and limb circumferences, and skinfold thickness in five body sites), along with four functional variables (resting systolic and diastolic blood pressure, resting heart rate, and aerobic capacity estimated by the Astrand-Ryhming test). The data were processed using appropriate parametric statistical methods: descriptive statistics, distribution analysis, Pearson correlation coefficients, and the Independent Samples t-test. Results: The analysis revealed statistically highly significant differences (p<0.001) between the two groups across all measured variables. Handball players had on average 20 kg higher body weight, were 7 cm taller, showed substantially larger body circumferences (especially abdominal circumference +14.3 cm), and greater skinfold thickness in all measured sites (6.8–9.9 mm more). In contrast, football players exhibited significantly lower resting blood pressure (systolic –11.6 mmHg, diastolic –9.1 mmHg), lower resting heart rate (–4.7 bpm), and markedly higher maximal aerobic capacity (VO₂max +9.5 ml/kg/min). Conclusions: All three research hypotheses were fully confirmed. Junior handball players dominated in anthropometric parameters and body composition, while junior football players showed a clear advantage in cardiovascular parameters and aerobic capacity. These differences reflect the specific physiological demands of each sport and have important practical implications for talent selection, training program design, and monitoring the development of junior athletes in Kosovo

This experimental study was conducted at the "Seven Gym" center in Pristina with the aim of comparing the effects of two different types of training— Kango aerobic program and traditional weight training—on body composition and motor abilities in women. A total of 80 female participants, aged 19 to 30, were included in the study and divided into two equal groups of 40. All participants had more than three months of prior training experience and were consistently active throughout the study period. The first group followed the Kango aerobic program, which involved high-intensity dynamic movements using “Kango jumps” boots, while the second group engaged in a classical fitness program with weights and equipment designed to develop strength and muscle mass. To evaluate the effects, advanced measurements were performed using the TANITA BC-601 device, along with a series of functional tests assessing flexibility, strength, endurance, and aerobic capacity. The results showed that the weight training group experienced significant improvements in muscle mass, bone density, handgrip strength, and daily caloric expenditure. This group also showed better performance in strength-based exercises such as abdominal crunches and pull-up bar holds. On the other hand, the Kango group experienced notable improvements in flexibility and aerobic capacity, as measured by the Rockport test. They also maintained a stable body fat percentage and reported higher hydration levels and a general sense of well-being. Statistical analyses revealed significant differences between the groups in key variables, with distinct benefits depending on the type of training. Muscle mass was positively correlated with bone density and caloric expenditure, while abdominal strength positively influenced aerobic performance. Flexibility, in contrast, showed no strong correlation with other motor components. In conclusion, both types of training proved effective in enhancing physical health, each in its own way. Weight training was more suitable for increasing strength and muscle development, while Kango training was more effective in improving aerobic fitness, flexibility, and subjective well-being. It is recommended that a balanced training program combine both methods to achieve comprehensive and sustainable physical development

Play represents one of the most natural and effective ways of learning during early childhood, particularly in the preschool stage. This paper aims to explore the role of play as a structured and purposeful method to stimulate motor skills, understanding, and creativity in children aged 3 to 6 years. Through physical activities, children unconsciously develop coordination, balance, muscular strength, and cardiovascular endurance. Regular and structured physical play supports not only the development of both fine and gross motor skills but also plays a crucial role in building self-confidence and fostering a sense of independence. Play also provides opportunities to promote learning processes, helping children understand rules, solve problems, and grasp cause-and-effect relationships. These experiences contribute significantly to the development of logical and linguistic thinking. Another essential aspect of play is the stimulation of creative thinking, which is fostered through role-playing, imaginative activities, and tasks that require invention and flexibility. Through play, children experiment with ideas, solutions, and new situations, using their freedom to explore and express their inner world. In conclusion, play should not be viewed merely as a form of amusement, but as an educational and methodological tool that contributes to the holistic and sustainable development of the child — physically, cognitively, and creatively. The role of the educator is vital in planning and guiding play activities to maximize their developmental benefits. The teacher can use play as a powerful medium to support all the above-mentioned dimensions of child development

This study aims to analyze the effects of structured physical exercise on the physical and motor development of students over the age of 17 in the municipality of Gjilan during the 2024/2025 academic year. The research involved 80 students, divided into two groups: the first group consisted of students who participated only in regular physical education classes at school (twice a week), while the second group included students who, in addition to school physical education, were also regularly engaged in extracurricular sports clubs such as football, basketball, volleyball, handball, and karate. Three anthropometric indicators (height, weight, and Body Mass Index – BMI) were measured, along with ten motor tests used to assess components such as speed, strength, coordination, flexibility, and balance. Data analysis was conducted using statistical methods such as descriptive analysis, T-test, and correlation analysis. The findings showed that students who participated in extracurricular sports activities demonstrated greater improvements in both motor and physical aspects compared to their peers who were not regularly involved in sports. The most significant differences were observed in tests measuring explosive strength, flexibility, and balance. Moreover, a meaningful relationship was found between body measurements and physical performance. The study highlights the crucial role of organized sports activities in the psycho-physical development of youth and strongly recommends broader student participation in such activities through supportive educational policies.

Sports recreation, as a distinct field of physical education, represents a fundamental component of a healthy lifestyle for modern individuals, contributing to the maintenance and improvement of physical, mental, and social health. Academic institutions, as high-intensity intellectual work environments, face a particular need to promote healthy lifestyle habits among their staff. The aim of this study was to examine the factors influencing participation in recreational and sports activities among the academic and administrative staff of AAB College, based on demographic variables and lifestyle elements. The study was guided by four research hypotheses, developed on the basis of contemporary literature addressing the relationship between physical activity, lifestyle habits, and health. Data analysis was conducted using the Chi-square test to identify statistically significant differences and relationships among the studied variables. The results showed statistically significant differences in participation levels in recreational and sports activities by gender, with males exhibiting higher engagement compared to females, confirming the first hypothesis (H1). Additionally, it was found that tobacco and alcohol consumption were negatively associated with participation frequency, supporting the second hypothesis (H2), in line with studies highlighting the negative impact of harmful habits on physical activity and health. The third hypothesis (H3) was confirmed through a positive and statistically significant relationship between engagement in recreational and sports activities and healthy lifestyle habits. Contrary to expectations, no statistically significant differences were found between academic and administrative staff, thus not confirming the fourth hypothesis (H4). In conclusion, the study confirms that gender and lifestyle habits are important factors influencing participation in recreational and sports activities, while professional role has no significant effect. The findings provide valuable theoretical and practical insights for understanding the factors that promote or hinder physical activity among university staff and can serve as a basis for designing institutional policies and recreational programs aimed at promoting a healthy lifestyle and increasing participation in physical activities.

This study identifies the factors that encourage citizens to take part in recreational sports and the barriers that keep them from doing so. Its goal is to give a detailed picture of active recreational living and personal lifestyle choices, and to examine the negative effects that harmful habits—smoking and alcohol use—have on residents of the city of Decan. The survey analyzed the health‑related behaviors of 142 adult residents of Decan Municipality (72 men, 70 women). A questionnaire collected data in five key areas: (1) participation in recreational sport, (2) tobacco use, (3) alcohol use, (4) dietary habits (meal frequency), and (5) sleep hygiene. Statistical analysis used the chi‑square test (α = 0.05) to evaluate gender differences. Key findings: Recreational physical activity: Only 11 % reported being actively involved; gender difference not significant (p = 0.366). Smoking: 68 % smoked ≥ 10 cigarettes/day; no significant gender difference (p = 0.46). Alcohol use: 18 % of men vs. 9 % of women drank “occasionally” or daily; the difference is statistically significant (χ² = 10.20; p = 0.00). Meals per day: 78 % ate only two meals/day; no gender difference (p = 0.19). Sleep: 77 % slept ≤ 6 hours/day and none reported 8 hours; no gender difference (p = 0.62). Overall, unhealthy behaviors (low physical activity, insufficient sleep, high smoking frequency, and limited meals) are widespread, while alcohol consumption is the only category showing a significant gender variation.

This study examines the impact of athletic status on eating habits, body image perception, and Body Mass Index (BMI) among high school students. By comparing athletes and non-athletes, the research analyzes differences in dietary behaviors, body self-assessment, and awareness of weight and physical health. The sample consists of 168 students from two high schools in the city of Gjilan: the Social Sciences Gymnasium “Zenel Hajdini” and the Natural Sciences Gymnasium “Xhavit Ahmeti,” of whom 53 are athletes and 115 are non-athletes. The study follows a quantitative approach with a correlational-descriptive research design. Three main hypotheses were tested through statistical analysis, focusing on the relationship between physical activity, eating patterns, and BMI. The results show that, in general, athletes demonstrate greater dietary discipline and higher awareness of the impact of nutrition on their health and performance. They also tend to be more self-critical regarding their bodies and exhibit a stronger drive for continuous physical improvement. In contrast, non-athletes report higher satisfaction with their body image, but often display less favorable eating habits, such as greater consumption of unhealthy foods and sugary drinks. However, BMI analysis did not fully support the hypothesis that athletes have lower BMI—some athletes showed higher BMI values, likely due to increased muscle mass. The hypotheses regarding the influence of athletic status on eating habits and the role of nutrition in BMI were partially supported, suggesting that the relationship between sports participation, nutrition, and physical health is complex and influenced by other factors such as body composition, cultural attitudes towards food, and individual awareness. In conclusion, the study highlights the importance of engaging in physical activity not only for physical health benefits but also for fostering a healthier relationship with one’s body and food. Athletic involvement may serve as a protective factor in promoting sustainable lifestyle habits and positive body self-perception

(AAB College, 2025-11-26) Bunjaku, Bulza
In the context of modern life, characterized by technology, sedentary work, and lack of movement, sports recreation has gained special importance as an essential component for maintaining and improving physical and mental health. Recreational sports activities offer an effective way to compensate for the lack of movement associated with urban lifestyles and stressful daily routines. These activities help not only in strengthening the cardiovascular and muscular systems, but also in reducing stress levels, improving mood, and preventing psychosocial disorders. Sports recreation promotes the development of healthy and sustainable habits for spending free time, improving quality of life and overall well-being. It plays a preventive and therapeutic role, positively influencing body weight control, blood pressure, cholesterol levels, and the management of chronic diseases. Moreover, participation in recreational activities creates opportunities for social inclusion, cooperation, and community building, especially in urban environments. This paper aims to emphasize the importance of integrating sports recreation into daily life as a powerful mechanism for improving health and balancing personal and professional life in an era characterized by limited movement and increased stress.

This study seeks to acquaint the reader with the importance of social-emotional learning, as an important and current demand that is placed before our school and in general before the education of the new generation. The social and emotional development of students, not only in us, but also in the outside world, has attracted attention for its importance, actuality and insight. There is no doubt that physical education also plays an important role in the social-emotional development of students. This is in an effort to build the mental and physical capacity of students. For this very reason, we have collected data from literature reviews, which have been used as the main source in the research of numerous studies. The research results are based on the research questions and keywords, from which we found local literature and articles, the results of which match the research questions of this study. According to the findings of the analysis, student success, academic knowledge and other, are closely related to the growth of students in social-emotional learning, and that physical education is an environment where the subject program or curriculum with elements of social-emotional learning can be successfully implemented in our schools.Through social and emotional learning, students can learn to identify and control their emotions, create healthy relationships, set goals that are worthwhile, fullfill their own and others needs, make ethical judgments, and choose problems. So far we have not had any such research. In addition to the main values of this research, we are aware that there may be gaps in it, as this research is the first evidence for a relatively complete and new treatment of social-emotional learning in Kosovo. We hope that this study will provide broader, more complete, more solid knowledge, to complete and strengthen the belief that social-emotional learning should be an integral part of all subject programs or, as it is used to be called subject curricula
