The Relationship Between Morphological Characteristics and Functional Abilities in Physically Active Students

The aim of this study was to determine the relationship between morphological characteristics and maximal oxygen consumption in physically active students. The sample included 90 male (20,91±2,11 years) and 20 female (20,51±1,57 years) students from the University of Belgrade. Body composition was m...

Description
Summary:The aim of this study was to determine the relationship between morphological characteristics and maximal oxygen consumption in physically active students. The sample included 90 male (20,91±2,11 years) and 20 female (20,51±1,57 years) students from the University of Belgrade. Body composition was measured using InBody720, with 9 variables used to define the morphological status and a Shuttle run test used to measure maximal oxygen uptake. Statistical analyses were performed in SPSS 21.0, while multiple regression analysis (MRA) was used for defining multivariate models between the criterion variable (VO2max) and a set of predictive morphological variables. The males showed higher VO2max compared to females (48,33 vs. 38,54 mlO2/kg/min, p
