Effect of programmed kinesiologic treatment on structural transformation of some strength and endurance manifestations in Croatian Army draftees.
Structural, i.e. qualitative changes in some motor dimensions (strength and endurance) were assessed during a 2-month period in a sample of 307 male subjects, Croatian Navy draftees, mean age 21 years. Study subjects were divided into three groups: experimental group 1 (n = 102), experimental group 2 (n = 97) and control group (n = 108), submitted to different kinesiologic treatments. The structure of isolated dimensions for 13 motor variables showed significant changes between two time points (two transitive states) in all three groups of subjects. In experimental groups, the treatments influenced the highest correlation of repetitive strength and aerobic endurance, with this very dimension integrating these capabilities at the second time point. Second dimension integrated explosive strength and anaerobic capacity, whereas third dimension integrated repetitive strength of the trunk and aerobic endurance in experimental group 1. In the control group of subjects, repetitive strength, aerobic endurance and anaerobic capacity were isolated as specific dimensions.
