The primary objective of this study is to analyze the self-assessment of the mental and physical health of young women from the effects of programmed recreational activities in a three-month period. The sample is composed of 35 women (20 - 40 years old). For a sample of variables in the assessment of mental and physical health, standardized instruments were used: THE HAD scale - Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (for mental health assessment) and EQ thermometer (for physical health assessment) The results of the overall condition of all participants before the start of the experimental procedure, 24 participants had no symptoms of depression, 8 participants had a borderline condition, and 3 participants with depressive disorder. After three months of recreational treatment, 30 of the participants have no symptoms of depression, 3 participants have borderline condition and 2 participants with depressive disorder. When it comes to the self-assessment of anxiety in the initial state, it was noted that 26 participants of the experiment had no signs of anxiety, 6 participants had a borderline state of anxiety, while 3 participants had anxiety disorders, of which 2 participants slightly above the limit state and one participant with a particularly high number of points indicating a more severe state of anxiety. At the end of the experiment, 31 participants had no signs of anxiety, 4 had a borderline state and 1 person with a severe anxiety condition. Before the start of recreational activities, one participant rated their physical health as extremely poor and 3 people rated their health as poor. The largest number of participants before the experiment, 16 of them, rated their physical health slightly above average, 10 women rated their physical health as excellent and 5 women rated themselves the best imaginable physical health. After the experiment, only 4 participants estimated lower and average self-health, above average 6, 20 women claimed to have excellent health and 5 participants in the experiment claimed to be in the best physical health imaginable.

The goal of this research is to evaluate the effects of applied kinesiological activities of different extensions on the transformation of basal-motor abilities of boys. The sample of respondents is represented by boys, students of VII, VIII and IX grades of primary school. „21. March "Matuzići - Doboj South. The total sample consists of a set of 76 respondents classified into three distinct groups. Based on the boys' statements about their participation in everyday physical activities, groups with the numbering were defined through non-athletes: non-athletes-1, recreational athletes-2 and athletes-3. To assess the basic motor skills of the respondents, the variables according to the Eurofit battery test program were used, as follows: Flamingo balance, endurance in the joint, lying-sitting, running 10 × 5m (back and forth), hand tapping, hand dynamometry, flexibility-mobility at the hip joint, jumping away from the spot and running 20m back and forth with progressive acceleration. The results of univariate covariance analysis showed high significance in endurance assessment tests (SHATL 20 and SHATL 10 × 5), followed by static arm strength (MSSIZG), and hand strength (MSSDIN) and torso flexibility (MFLPRK) and balance (MRFLAM). Statistically significant differences in effects did not occur with the three variables, namely hand tapping ( MBFTAR), long jump (MESSDM) or squat-sitting (MRSLSJ).

This study was conducted on a sample of 40 senior and junior male and female karate fighters, chronological ages 18 to 27 from the Tuzla Canton, who are part of the regular training and competition process. The aim of this paper is to determine the differences in the motor reaction speed among the karate players with the same specializations but at different levels of competition, in conditions of fatigue induced by intense physical work in combination with complex visual signalization, which determines certain karate techniques. The study was conducted with the application of sophisticated technologies used in sport that enable the collection of data. The light stimuli was generated by the usage of the RIR 102 reaction meter and the quantitative valorization of the investigated parameters was carried out by a sophisticated kinematic analysis of the videos collected using two high-speed Casio Exilim EX-F1 digital cameras synchronized with the data from the Polar Team heart monitoring system. By processing and analyzing data, it was concluded that fatigue induced by situational conditions such as performing a series of strikes that simultaneously generate muscular, cognitive and sensory strain, produces negative effects on reaction time of the karate players. The intensity of limiting factors grows gradually in function of time, but is manifested differently in relation to the international and state level of competition.
