Abstract		By means of training self-defence, in which acyclic movements dominate, we can exert significant influence on some dimensions of the psychosomatic status. In the studies on the relations between morphological and motor dimensions carried out so far it has been established that morphological characteristics have a significant effect on the execution of the majority of motor tasks. The objective of our research was thus to establish the effect of self-defence training on some morphological characteristics in the students the University of Ljubljana taking part in sport education. The study has been carried out on a sample of 18 students attending the University of Ljubljana aged from 18 to 23 years. The experiment (of self-defence training) lasted 5 months and took place in sessions of 90 minutes two times a week. The morphological status has been defined by 15 morphological measures. First, all basic statistic parameters were calculated for all variables: arithmetic mean, variance, maximal and minimal result. The significance of the differences between the results of initial and final measurements was assessed by the application of the t-test for small dependent samples. The significant differences in the morphological space of the trainees between the initial and final state of the measurements show above all in the dimensions of subcutaneous fat tissue. Some significantly smaller transformations occurred in the dimensions defining the voluminosity. From this it can be concluded that in the morphological space the effects of self-defence training show above all in the reduction of subcutaneous fat tissue: it decreased by 18%. The results of the research represent a strong argument in favour of the fact that by self-defence training it is possible to improve the quality of some dimensions of the psychosomatic status, which in turn can also indirectly have a positive effect on the improvement of the health status.
