FACTOR STRUCTURE AND RELATIONS OF FLEXIBILITY DIMENSION AT MALE STUDENTS FOURTEEN YEARS OLD

Abstract

The sample consisted of 70 students fourteen years old, at which the test was performed in 5 motor skills tests, which are related to the dimension of flexibility. The main objective of this study was to determine the association between tests that measure this dimension, as well as determining the latent structure of the dimensions of flexibility. Using the method of correlation and factor analysis was confirmed that there a significant correlation between almost all tests. Within the latent structure was extracted two factors investigated Latenta dimensions. Establishing the existence of these factors allows difereciranje and adapting exercises that need to focus on developing certain latent dimensions responsible for manifestation level of flexibility
