The aim of this study was to confirm the difference in basic motor and situational motor abilities of female handball players. Studies were conducted on 77 adult female handball players playing in the BiH First Federal League and the First League of the Republika Srpska. For basic-motor abilities, 18 variables were used which covered factors for estimating segmental speed, flexibility, coordination, power, repetitive power and balance. Situational motor capabilities were tested using five hypothetical latent factors which are responsible for situational efficiency in handball: speed of ball handling, precision, throwing strength, speed without the ball, and ball handling. Discriminative analysis of quantitative differences showed that statistically significant differences exist between the capabilities of players from the BiH First Federal League and the First League of the Republika Srpska. Our results can aid in better understanding, tracking, analyzing and perfecting conditioning and tactical preparation for female handball players at various levels of competition, all in the aim of achieving better quality of competition for senior handball players in BIH.

Osnovni cilj ovog istraživanja bio je utvrditi razlike u bazicno-motorickim i situaciono-motorickim sposobnostima rukometasica. Istraživanje je urađeno na 77 rukometasice, seniorskog uzrasta iz Prve federalne lige BIH i Prve lige Republike Srpske .U prostoru bazicno-motoricke sposobnosti koristeno je 18 varijabli koje su obuhvatale faktore za procjenu segmentarne brzine, fleksibilnosti, koordinacije, eksplozivne snage, repetitivne snage i ravnoteže. Situaciono-motoricki prostor je posmatran i obuhvata pet hipotetskih latentnih faktora koji su odgovorni za situacionu efikasnost u rukometu: brzina baratanja sa loptom, preciznost, snaga izbacaja lopte, brzina kretanja bez lopte, baratanje loptom. U analiza kvantitativnih razlika na multivarijantnom nivou, diskriminativnom analizom, između Prve federalne lige BIH i Prve lige Republike Srpske u situaciono-motorickim i bazicno-motorickim sposobnostima dobili smo da se nivoi takmicenja razlikuju odnosno da postoji statisticka znacajnost između tretiranih nivoa takmicenja. Dobijeni rezultati mogu doprinijeti boljem razumijevanju pracenja, analiziranja te boljem usavrsavanju kondicijske i tehnicko-takticke pripreme rukometasica na razlicitim nivoima takmicenja, a sve u cilju postizanja veceg kvaliteta takmicenja seniroskih rukometasica u Bosni i Hercegovini.

With the aim of establishing the latent structure of tactical elements in the attack and defense phases of soccer 117 tactical elements of soccer were defined and their importance assessed by means of 30 variables that determine the basic segments of the game of soccer. 93 attack and 24 defense tactical elements were chosen as the entity sample and described by the 15 variables of the attack phase and 15 variables of the defense phase. Ten competent soccer experts determined the characteristics of the aforementioned entities by means of 30 variables. The experts graded from 0 to 5 the impact of every entity (tactical technique) on the individual variables that describe soccer in its phases of either attack and defense. A high level of inter-expert agreement was reached in regard to the properties of attack and defense techniques, as demonstrated by the objectivity coefficients. According to principal component factor analysis and the Kaiser and Guttman rule a total of five significant latent dimensions were obtained: finishing efficiency, ball possession performance, counter-attack efficiency, combined defense performance, and obstruction and redirection of the opposing team's attack build-up. The research partly resolved the issue of the hypothetical structure of tactical techniques in soccer by dividing the game into phases and sub-phases, attack and defense players'positions, and types (styles) of play in the attack and defense. If it is clear which movement structures have the most significant influence on the efficiency on a particular playing position and performance in the sub-phases and styles of play, it would be possible to create such training operators that will facilitate the formation of the most important motor skills in soccer.
