THE INFLUENCE OF BASIC AND SPECIFIC MOTOR SPACE ON ATHLETIC PENTATHLETIC DISCIPLINES IN 17-YEAR-OLD STUDENTS

Motor skills are amo ng the main factors for achieving a quality result in all sports. This research treats the
relationships and influences of certain basic motor skills on the results of three athletic disciplines: 100 meter sprint,
400 meter run, 1000 meter run. The researc h was conducted on a sample of 250 male respondents, aged 17, students
from the municipal high schools “ and “Mirko Mileski” from Kichevo. The main goal of the research is to
determine the influence of the group of predictor ( variables on the three athletic disciplines as well as the
interrelationship of the values of the measured results in the selected disciplines. To carry out the research, 14 basic
motor variables and three criterion variables were applied. The obtained data were processe d with appropriate
multivariate and univariate parametric statistical methods. The values of the intercorrelations of the motor variables
in the respondents of this age vary depending on the space and dimension of the abilities. The variables that expres s
the explosive force have mutual influence and as a result have significant correlations among themselves. Also, the
variables that are approximately of the same nature show high mutual values of influence and intercorrelation. The
multiple correlation indicator between the system of predictors (motor variables) and the criterion (100m sprint), as
well as the high percentage of explanation of the variability, shows a regression with high statistical significance.
Also, the criterion variables running 400 and 1000 meters are in significant regression with the system of basic
motor variables.
