EVALUATION OF SPEED AND AEROBIC ENDURANCE OF STUDENTS FROM THE ASPECT OF WALKING AND RACING ATHLETIC DISCIPLINES
Motor skills are at a large percentage present in athletic disciplines, and their participation is closely linked to the manifestation of technical performance. They are a kind of indicator of the level of adoption of athletic technique and overall performance. Athletic disciplines are a good field for the manifestation of motor skills and represent adequate predictors in the manifestation of motor skills. It is on the basis of this fact that the current research was conducted on a sample of 25 male students of Faculty of Physical Education and Sport, East Sarajevo. Running variables (100m, 200m, 400m, 800m) were measured to assess speed in athletic disciplines, while aerobic endurance was assessed via Sport walking (2km). All results were measured according to IAAF rules. For all disciplines, the achieved time (t) on the given track (S) was determined. Based on these parameters, the average speed (m/s) of each subject for each discipline was determined using the formula V=S/t. Athletic disciplines have been shown to be a good predictor in the analysis of speed and endurance and their subspaces.
