Impact of Military Training Sports Facilities on Qualitative Changes of Morphological Features for AF BIH Recruits

This research was conducted with the aim of determining the effects of the sports elements of the military training on qualitative changes of morphological characteristics, in soldiers - conscripts of the Armed Forces, and which is not only designed to achieve scientific results that would be academically defended, but also it should represent a way of controlling the results achieved by applying the scientific methods, critical reviewing and correcting any noticed weaknesses. The population from which the sample was derived were soldiers-conscripts who were on a quarterly training at the training centre in Pazaric. The total sample consisted of 435 conscripts-soldiers (men) from all over Bosnia and Herzegovina, aged 19-26 years. The variables chosen for this scientific work hypothetically covered spaces of morphological characteristics (10), and included spaces: longitudinal dimensionality of the skeleton, subcutaneous fat and circular dimensionality of the skeleton and body mass in soldiers conscripts who were on a quarterly training in training centre for basic training in Pazaric. The gained results of the factor analysis in the area of morphological characteristics show that the two main components (factors) were isolated (extracted) on the initial and final measurements, which tells us that the Plan and the program of physical training, greatly contributed to the qualitative transformation of morphological characteristics with conscripts of Armed Forces conditioned by sports content of military training for a period of three months.
