BLOCK PERIODIZATION - A BREAKTHROUGH OR A MISCONCEPTION
"Block periodization emerged as a new idea in the preparation of athletes. Based on the analysis of the traditional theory of sports training and its segments and training periodization during the competitive season, the supporters of block periodization made a number of objections. The main conclusion was that classical periodization no longer meets the requirements of modern sports because of the extended competition calendar..."

A COMPARISON OF NUTRITIONAL KNOWLEDGE AND FOOD HABITS OF COLLEGIATE AND NON-COLLEGIATE ATHLETES
"Nutrition is an important component of any physical fitness program. The main dietary goal for active individuals is to obtain adequate nutrition to optimize health fitness and to increase sports performance. The purpose of this study was to compare nutritional knowledge and food habits in collegiate s and non-collegiate athletes. The target population of this study was all male and female collegiate and non-collegiate athletes in Rasht city of Iran..."

INFLUENCE OF MOTOR ABILITIES ON LEARNING OF APLINE SKI TECHNIQUE
"The research determined influence of motor abilities on alpine ski learning. Moreover, the aim was also to estimate the contribution of some morphological characteristics to acquisition of ski knowledge. At the beginning of the study, participants were tested by tests evaluating balance, agility, explosive and static strength, movement frequency and flexibility. After evaluation of motor abilities, basic morphological characteristics were noted and then participants entered a seven days alpine ski course..."

WHOLE BODY VIBRATION TRAINING IMPROVES MUSCULAR POWER IN A RECREATIONALLY ACTIVE POPULATION
"Whole body vibration training has been shown to improve athletic performance. However, the majority of studies have utilised relatively intensive training programmes. The current study assessed the effect of a 6-week vibration training programme on a recreationally active population. Following institutional ethics approval, 22 healthy, recreationally active male individuals were recruited and randomly assigned into either a vibration group (n = 11) or a control group (n = 11)..."

DESCRIPTIVE PROFILE OF BODY STRUCTURE OF TOP GRECO-ROMAN STYLE WRESTLERS DEFINED WITH METHOD OF MULTICHANNEL BIOELECTRIC IMPEDANCE
"Because of the specificity of given sport and weight categories wrestlers are characterized by specific morphologic characteristics. With the development of new measurement technologies there are some new opportunities for the development of new ways of obtaining information relevant to the sports system. One of the new technologies, which are used in area of measurement of body composition structure, is a method of bioimpedace, and the latest generations use a variant of the multichannel bioelectrical bioimpedance..."

LATENT STRUCTURE OF SITUATIONAL EFFICIENCY PARAMETERS AT CROATIAN TOP BASKETBALL PLAYERS
"The aim of this study was to determine the structure of dimensions that are based on different parameters of the standard situational efficiency of top Croatian players. The insight into the structure and relationships of the latent dimensions of situational success in basketball could contribute to better understand the overall effectiveness of situational players. We analyzed twelve standard and seven derived parameters of situational efficiency in a intentional sample of players in nine senior basketball teams from the A-1 Croatian Basketball League Championship in 2006/2007..."

DIFFERENCES IN THE EXPLOSIVE AND REPETITIVE STRENGHT OF TWELVE-YEAR OLD SCHOOLCHILDREN WITH DIFFERENT MORPHOLOGICAL CHARACTERISTIC
"In this research we attempted to define the procedure which could be used to provide optimally distinct groups of school children in terms of the morphological structure of their bodies, and which could further be used to define the possible differences in explosive and repetitive strength. With this aim in mind, a sample of 269 school children aged 12±6 months were included in a study where three of their morphological measures were taken (body height, body mass, skinfolds) and five motor tests for the evaluation of explosive and repetitive strength carried out..."

OVERTRAINING SYNDROME IN THE RUNNING
"Walking and running are natural way of human motion. Today running is effective aerobic exercise to maintain vital human functions, mostly cardiovascular and breathing functions. Modern human’s lack of movement results in numerous health problems and generally reduce the quality of his life..."

VALIDITY, RELIABILITY AND SENSITIVITY OF THE TEST STROKE WITH LEQ MAE GERI
"Specific motor abilities in modern sport are probably the determining factor for solving sports tasks and achieving
sport success. Strockes with an arm and leg in karate sport are dominant techniques which help a karate athlete to
score points or win a fight..."
