Abstract

Volleyball is a sports discipline and activity distinguished by a number of advantages and therefore it is suitable to be included in different SPORT FOR ALL organization and recreation programmes. This Paper has dealt with research of the effects of volleyball games on certain motor and function abiliteies of associates regularly involved in various recreation programmes. 45 male associates, age 35-50, have undergone testing for seven motor variables where 2 km long walking activity (fitness index = general motor ability) mean criteria variable. Systems of predictive motr and criteria variables have been tested in compliance with the methodology of Eurofit battery for adults. Based on the results obtained therein and related statistical analysis it has been found that only 20 % of variability for criteria variable can be explained by the system of six predictive variables: lying - rising up in sitting position; leaning up forward in sitting position; standing on one leg - “fl amingo”; jumping up; hand tapping and fl exible hanging down in bending motions. This statistical effect (at the level of p =.01) has accomplished the overall system of predictive motor variables, but not a snigle variable could have any special statistical effects on criteria variable.
