Grounded in the theoretical framework of achievement goal theory and perfectionism theory, the purpose of this study was to examine how self-assessed perceived abilities covariance these variables among Norwegian football academy players. 140 adolescent football players participated, representing three football academies. Perceived competence was reported as equivalent to or better than others. Perfectionism scores showed personal standards as the highest of the dimensions of perfectionism, while perceived parental pressure was lowest. In contrast, mean task orientation and perceived mastery climate were higher than ego orientation and perceived performance climate. The correlation analysis showed that perceived competence correlated positively with personal standards. Personal standards correlated positively with the rest of the perfectionism dimensions as well as ego orientation, perceived mastery- and performance climate. Concern over mistakes was positively correlated with ego-orientation. Overall, findings suggested that personal standards correlate with perceived competence, while these variables also relate to other perfectionism dimensions, goal orientations and perceived motivational climate. Therefore, coaches should highlight the importance of high personal standards, as a potentially maladaptive function on talent development.

For estimation of psychomotor and sensor abilities different kinds of tests are used in the form of devices representing different technical devices which help examining sensomotor and psychomotor functions in certain conditions, as well as more complex motor abilities and skills that depend on CNS characteristics, vegetative nervous system and other functional systems and body states. These devices can be used for examining some parameters of psychomotor functions-such as speed of reaction through reactiometer or devices for examining sensor abilities-such as audiometer, ortoriter, color tests etc. In the scope of examining psychomotor skills and abilities, frequently used are different kinds of tests in the forms of devices serving for measuring ocultomotor coordination-such as Omega and Sinusoida, then Tumer`s device for measuring coordination and dissociation of hands` movements with visible control, O-Conor`s dexterimeter and Medeo`s dexterimeter-used for examining dexterity of fingers, Tremometer for examining hand stability and preciseness of movements, Minesota test for examining dexterity of hands and taping tests like “paper-pen” for examining speed and accuracy of simple movements. For examining more complex sensomotor abilities or different motor skills, special tests are used in the form of simulator, simulator and different technical devices, adjusted to specific sports situation. This category of tests includes different kinds of simulators and simulators used for examining certain aspects of sports activity.

In addition to multivariate analysis of covariance (MANCOVA) it was found that there were statistically significant differences between the experimental and control groups in three of the five motor variables in favor of the experimental group (p=0.00). In general, it can be concluded that the application of the experimental treatment for 10 weeks in the experimental group led to an increase, improved results in variables Push-ups, body folding 30 s and pull-ups in high jump on the shaft.

Secondary school age of female pupils, specific for intensive changes of physical characteristics, in particular for variability of motor expression, is the inspiration for numerous researches as well as of “demands” of contemporary practice of physical education within schools. We have measured physical characteristics and tested motor skills of 228 female pupils of the first grades of secondary schools from Novi Sad. The evaluation of the above-mentioned characteristics and skills has been carried out using the EUROFIT Program of measuring. By applying the canonical correlation analysis we obtained the results pointing to the existence of statistically significant correlation–out of 7 potential canonical factors 3 are statistically significant, as follows: CAN1–female pupils with higher body mass and sub-skin fat are less successful at test for static strength evaluation (MIZDR), aerobic-anaerobic endurance test (MISTR), shuttle running speed (MCUNT), and static balance test (MFLAM), CAN2–female pupils with small body mass are less successful at pliability, static force and dynamic force tests, and CAN3–female pupils with exceptional body height are more successful at tests for lower extremities explosive strength measuring. Based on the insight into the obtained structure of canonical factors it can be concluded that determined correlation of body characteristics and motor skills originate up to a significant extent from feminine gender characteristics of female pupils, who, at the studied age, represent the (un)favourable biomechanical functional basis for manifesting of skills responsible for an efficient motor behaviour.

Sports facilities of a city through the a long history of development of the city, starting with ancient Greece and Rome, had been evermore recognized as important areas of the city, the place of communication and interaction between people, places of unwinding everyday social life, so-called point of the urban gatherings. In addition to the social aspect, facilities for sport are often involved in the formation of the visual identity of a city. The land intended for sport and recreation are areas which are in the planning document designed to develop sports and recreational facilities, outdoors or indoors. Globalisation and the transition effects in Montenegro contributed faster transformation of society. This paper explores the urban parameters for the planning of sports and recreational zones in the city. During the transition period, the last 25 years, the system of planning and land management has experienced a major transformation in terms improper planning development of sports facilities, not supporting sports and recreation needs of the residents. For central and coastal region of Montenegro, it is characteristic rapid urbanization with significant migration and dominant construction of residential blocks and tourist facilities on the coast. The planning area for residential, has not been accompanied by adequate network of sports facilities. The purpose of this paper is to determine whether the existing network of sports facilities in Herceg-Novi, Danilovgrad and Podgorica can meet the needs of the residents, as well as to provide recommendations for the further development of the network of sports facilities.
