It is evident that researches in the fi eld of kineziology and sports sciences on the
topic of body-building here are very rare mainly and probably because of its place in
the system of hyerarchy of sports. Lack of interest in body-building and its insuffi cient
popularization springs probably, among other things, from its different interpretation
and, according to some people, from its ultimate goals which are not justifi ed by many.
Others, experts from the fi eld of body-building, starting from the basic principles of its
exercising point out its numerous positive characteristics and sides.
Undoubtedly, characteristics of functional capabilities of sportspeople are
specifi c for each sport or discipline. In body-building the functional sphere is bordered
and defi ned by the nature of the sport’s activity itself, as well as by genetics and internal
and external factors in a very complex training process of a bodu-builder.
The goal of this research was determining the structure of the functional sphere of
a body-builder. It was performed on the sample of 30 selected sportsmen, body-builders,
of chronological age between 17 and 19 ( 6 months), members of the Sports' Club
Strength ''Leskovac'', the Weight Lifters' Club '' Dubočica'' and the Body-building Club
'' Dubočica'' from Leskovac. All the examiees have been submitted to training processes
during a period longer than a year.
For the purpose of determining the structure of the morphological sphere the Factor
Analysis has been applied. Based on the data from the matrix of the Factor Structure the
isolated factors can be interpreted in the following manner: The fi rst isolated factor in
the sphere of applied functional variables is best defi ned by the variable of pulse under
stress (FPUOP) and the variable of maximum Oxygen consumption in liters per minute
(FOLM). This isolated factor can be defi ned as a dimension of the transportation system
of Oxygen.
The second isolated factor in the sphere of applied functional variables is best
defi ned by the variable of the pulse frequency at rest (FPUMI) and the variable of the
pulse frequency during the recover. (FPUOP). This isolated factor can be defi ned as a
cardio-vascular dimension. The third isolated factor in the sphere of applied functional
variables is best defi ned by the variable of vital lung-capacity in liters (FVKPL) and
the variable of maximum consumption of Oxygen (FOML). This isolated factor can be
defi ned as respiratory-aerobic dimension Factor structure, functional capabilties, bodybuilders
