| Summary: | The anthropometric characteristics can potentially affect the success of adopting the technique of alpine skiing. The aim of this study was to determine the differences in the technique adoption level of alpine skiing in relation to anthropometric characteristics of the subjects. The research was conducted on a sample of 30 male examinees of the average age of 22, all students of Faculty of Sport and Physical Education, University of Montenegro. In a sample of measuring instruments, 12 anthropometric measures and a situational-motor test intended for evaluation of skiing technique (wedge meandering) was carried out. After the results analysis, the examinees were classified into three groups ("weak", "average" and "good") according to the level of alpin skiing technique adoption. Applying the mathematical-statistical analysis, the homogenity of subsamples was determined and the boundary between them compared to anthropometric characteristics was clearly defined. The research results can give an answer about how much the anthropometric characteristics can contribute to the process of adopting the technique of alpine skiing. |
