Modern lifestyles are often accompanied by increased levels of stress, anxiety, and depressive symptoms,which are particularly pronounced among the young adult population. Physical activity is increasinglyrecognized as an important factor in maintaining and improving mental health. The aim of this study was toexamine the effects of a structured recreational activity program on levels of depression and anxiety inyoung adult women. The study included 35 women aged 20 to 40 years. The experimental program lastedthree months, during which participants engaged in organized recreational activities twice a week, witheach session lasting one hour and conducted under professional supervision. Data were collected before thebeginning and after the completion of the experimental period using standardized measurementinstruments. Basic descriptive statistical parameters were used for data analysis. The results showed adecrease in the mean values of most variables related to depressive and anxiety symptoms in the finalmeasurement compared to the initial one. The overall depression score decreased from 5.94 to 4.86, whileanxiety scores decreased from 5.57 to 4.91. The findings indicate a positive effect of the three-monthrecreational activity program on reducing symptoms of depression and anxiety among participants. Basedon these results, it can be concluded that regular physical activity plays a significant role in maintainingmental health and can contribute to the reduction of depressive and anxiety symptoms in young adultwomen. The results emphasize the importance of incorporating organized recreational activities into dailylife as a potential means of improving psychological well-being.Keywords:young adult women, depression, anxiety, physical activity

The research was conducted on a sample of athletes aged 13-15 from BiH, namely 60 athletes and 60 karate players. The participants were divided into groups consisting of 30 athletes and karate athletes. Experimental groups of athletes, in addition to regular training operators, had additional operators, while the control group of athletes and the control group of karate players performed the training process by practicing regular kinesiological operators. A set of nine variables was used to evaluate the speed properties of the investigated sample of athletes. The assessment of segmental velocity was carried out with three common variables, speed in athletes with three variables characteristic of speed assessment for athletes and speed in karate players with three variables specific to the assessment of speed in karate players. Therefore, the main objective of this research is to determine the effects of the application of additional training operators on the rapid properties of athletes in sports of monostructural and polystructural type. The program of additional kinesiology operators was implemented within five training units during the weekly microcycle. The treated speed properties of athletes in a period of six months, which in addition to the basic program include the program of additional training operators, progressed significantly faster and better within the experimental treatment. Also, positive effects were achieved by applying the basic program in the control sample, but on a somewhat smaller scale. From a kinesiological- methodical point of view, the applied experimental treatment indicates the fact that it has largely contributed to positive effects in the experimental group of athletes in relation to the control group. It is also evident that in both groups of karate players there are positive changes in velocity properties. However, the experimental group sees a significantly better transformation of certain anthropological features compared to the control group. These facts suggest that the application of additional kinesiological operators in the experimental group produced greater effects on the development of rapid properties in the experimental karate team compared to the control group.
