Abstract | On a sample of 236 students at the University of Ljubljana, academic year 1968/69, fifteen flexibility measures with gravitation goniometer an twenty-one morphological characteristics were applied. Using RTT7G program, good measuring characteristics of the applied measures were established. The results of the measurement are not to a high degree dependent on the variable effects of non-systematic factors. Regression analysis was used to assess the achievements in flexibility tests. It was found out that body mass and subcutaneous fat tissue are t those factors by which the results of the flexibility measurement with gravitation goniometer are affected. Seven measures out of fifteen are indicating the invariance of the effects of morphological characteristics on the result. It can thus be concluded that flexibility measures obtained by means of gravitation goniometer enable the acquisition of more realistic results as compared to linear measures which are to a higher degree affected by body size and shape. | |
