The research sample consisted of 43 first-year male students at the Faculty of Security Studies Banja Luka. This study was conducted to with the aim of determining the relationship between student self-assessment of motor skill performance and the results of the same obtained based on the application of appropriate tests for the assessment of students' motor status. The assessment of motor skills was performed through a battery of seven tests: maximum number of push-ups in 10 seconds (MSKL) - used to assess the dynamic strength of the arm and shoulder girdle, standing long jump (MSDM) - used to assess the explosive power of the lower extremities, agility with a stick (MOKP) - used to assess coordination, the maximum number of trunk lifts in 30 seconds (MPTR) - used to assess the dynamic strength of the trunk, hand tapping (MTAR) - used to assess the frequency of hand movements, forward roll - backward roll - running (MKNT) - used to assess agility, and the Cooper's 12-minute running test (MKUP) - used to assess aerobic endurance. For the self-assessment of motor skills, a constructed questionnaire with six responses was used: excellent (5), above average (4), average (3), below average (2), poor (1), and very poor (0). The obtained results showed a positive transfer of the Special Physical Education (SPE) curriculum to body coordination, agility, and the dynamic strength of the arm and shoulder girdle. Students' self-assessments of motor skills in the test for the assessment of trunk dynamic strength, dexterity and agility were excellent. The students provided poor self-assessments regarding the test for the assessment of explosive power of the lower extremities, speed, and the frequency of movement, the dynamic strength of the arm and shoulder girdle and body coordination. The students provided overestimated self-assessments in the aerobic endurance test. The obtained results indicate the need to enrich the teaching content of SPE, primarily in the area of motor skills aimed at the development of aerobic endurance, as well as the implementation of the self-assessment method in the same.

On a sample of 147 students (78 male and 69 female), in the first year of the Faculty of Security Studies from Banja Luka, research was conducted with the aim of determining the differences between the achieved grade and the selfassessment of motor skills between male and female students, based on the results obtained by applying adequate tests for assessment and self-assessment of students motor status. Assessment of the motor abilities was performed through a battery of six tests: the maximum number of push-ups performed in 10 seconds (MSKL) - used to assess the dynamic strength of the arms and shoulder girdle, the standing long jump (MSDM) - used to assess the explosive power of the lower extremities, agility with with a club (MOKP) - used to assess the coordination of the whole body, the maximum number of trunk lifts performed in 30 seconds (MPTR) - used to assess the dynamic strength of the trunk, hand tapping (MTAR) - used to assess the frequency of arm movements, forwardroll – back roll - running (MKNT) – used to assess the motor ability of agility. For the self-assessment of motor skills, a constructed questionnaire with six answers was used: excellent (5), above average (4), average (3), below average (2), bad (1) and very bad (0). The respondents showed a good self-assessment of motor skills, where a statistically significant difference between male and female students was recorded only in the variable for self-assessment of dynamic arm and shoulder girdle strength. Male students showed better self-assessment in the variables for assessing dynamic arm and shoulder girdle strength, dynamic trunk strength, body coordination and hand movement frequency, while female students showed better self-assessment in variables for assessing explosive leg strength and agility. The authors recommendation is that the method of self-assessment of motor skills be implemented in the teaching process, when teaching the subject Special Physical Education 1, in order to improve awareness of the role and importance of the anthropological status of students and to encourage them to exercise regularly.

Na uzorku od 147 studenata (78 muškog i 69 ženskog pola), prve godine Fakulteta bezbjednosnih nauka iz Banjaluke, provedeno je istraživanje sa ciljem utvrđivanja razlika između ostvarene ocjene i samoprocjene ocjene motoričkih sposobnosti između studenata i studentica, a na osnovu rezultata dobijenih primjenom adekvatnih testova za procjenu i samoprocjenu motoričkog statusa studenata. Procjena motoričkih sposobnosti izvršena je putem baterije od šest testova: maksimalan broj urađenih sklekova za 10 sekundi (MSKL) – korišćen za procjenu dinamičke snage ruku i ramenog pojasa, skok udalj iz mjesta (MSDM) – korišćen za procjenu eksplozivne snage donjih ekstremiteta, okretnost sa palicom (MOKP) – korišćen za procjenu koordinacije cijelog tijela, maksimalan broj urađenih podizanja trupa za 30 sekundi (MPTR) – korišćen za procjenu dinamičke snage trupa, taping rukom (MTAR) – korišćen za procjenu frekvencije pokreta rukom, kolut naprijed – kolut nazad – trčanje (MKNT) – korišćen za procjenu motoričke sposobnosti agilnosti. Za samoprocjenu motoričkih sposobnosti korišćen je konstruirani upitnik sa šest ponuđenih odgovora: izvrstan (5), iznadprosječan (4), prosječan (3), ispodprosječan (2), loš (1) i veoma loš (0). Ispitanici su pokazali dobru samoprocjenu motoričkih sposobnosti, pri čemu je evidentirana statistički značajna razlika između studenata i studentica samo kod varijable za samoprocjenu dinamičke snage ruku i ramenog pojasa. Studenti su pokazali bolju samoprocjenu kod varijabli za procjenu dinamičke snage ruku i ramenog pojasa, dinamičke snage trupa, koordinacije tijela i frekvencije pokreta rukom, dok su studentice pokazale bolju samoprocjenu kod varijabli za procjenu eksplozivne snage nogu i agilnosti. Preporuka autora je da se metoda samoprocjene motoričkih sposobnosti implementira u nastavni proces, kod realizacije nastave iz nastavnog predmeta Specijalno fizičko obrazovanje 1, kako bi se unaprijedila svijest u vezi sa ulogom i značajem antropološkog statusa studenata i potaklo ih se na redovno fizičko vježbanje.

This study is focused on getting feedback on positive and negative aspects of coach-athletes relationship and defining the quality of this relationship, as well as their implications to both coaches' and athletes' work. The multivariate analysis of variance shows that the interaction between athletes' gender and type of sport is significant for all three subtests (social support, depth and conflict) of the Quality Relationship Inventory questionnaire. Significant differences are noticed with young athletes receiving social support by their coaches, while individual athletes have shown a higher level of social support than their peers from team sports. The results of this study suggest that male individual sports athletes shows tenacious connection (depth) with their coaches, while the situation for the team sports is reversed. Also, female athletes have shown a higher level of conflict with their coaches in individual sports, whilst the level of conflict with male athletes is more common in team sports. Coach's support is of a high importance due to a significantly weakened relationship between athletes and parents in the age of adolescence. The coach is a person who has to play more active role in overall young athletes' personality development and thus the qualification of the staff working with younger age categories has to be at the highest level of their competences.

The aim of this research is to determine the differences in attitudes toward physical exercise of students of Academy of Dramatic Arts in Banja Luka and Academy of Performing Arts in Sarajevo, and their interests in certain sports and recreational activities. The study included a total of 59 students of Academy of Dramatic Arts in Banja Luka and Academy of Performing Arts in Sarajevo. Given the requirements in terms of physical ability and physical appearance that contemporary theater and film production has for future actors, we believe that physical exercise should be their daily needs. The results of research have confirmed our opinion and pointed to a satisfactory level of physical activity of drama students. There was no significant difference in the attitudes of students toward physical exercise in relation to gender and place of study. The research results are encouraging, showing the awareness of students on the importance of practicing physical exercise in terms of improving the quality of life, as well as work and artistic creativity.

Contemporary theatre and film production require actors with extraordinary physical abilities, harmonious physical appearance and good looking body, which is a cult propagated by Hollywood – the dream factory. Today, theatre and film repertoire require a cast with extraordinary body skills, quick reflexes and acrobatic flexibility. Whether it is done as a part of regular curricular or as extracurricular activities, there is no doubt that regular physical exercise has a very important role in training young students of dramatic arts for their top-quality achievements. In order to determine the students’ attitudes on the importance of physical exercise and their interest for certain sports, there has been a survey among 27 first, second and third-year students of the Academy of Dramatic Arts in Banja Luka, Acting course. In accordance with the requirements set by the modern theatre and film production, this survey confirmed a very positive attitude and interest of students towards physical exercise and sports activities. Therefore, there is need for creating a clear concept of physical training of students, as a long-term project, which will contribute to raising quality of life as well as work and artistic creativity with students at the Academy of Dramatic Arts, University of Banja Luka.

Research was conducted on a sample of 121 respondents in total-sportsmen aged 14-16 years old from five different sports (skiing, boxing, swimming, volleyball and basketball), trough a questionnaire containing 19 representative indicators – qualities that the coach should possess. Examined are the attitudes of young and promising sportsmen of the desirable characteristics of a good coach. It’s about the selected young and promising sportsmen, whose quality is determined on the basis of achieved results at official championships in of Republic of Srpska, Bosnia and Herzegovina and international competitions. The survey questionnaire was administered in which any claim has 5 replies as follows: always, often, sometimes, rarely did I ever. It’s about five-point Liker scale. The survey contains questions related to gender, length of training period and type of sport. In order to determine the latent structure of the appropriateness of indicators was used factor analysis with Varimax rotation in solution. Given results of the factor analysis with Varimax rotation in solutions showed stable set of four isolated latent dimensions that can be described as: (1) technical quality of the trainers (2) the general human traits coaches (3) external characteristics of trainers and (4) the ratio of coaches to the sportsmen. The results point to the fact that the qualities that a coach has to exhibit the work of young and promising sportsmen in training and competition is of great importance for the formation of the whole personality and versatile young sportsmen in his sport promotion.
