Development of inclusive education model in Serbia, evident during last decade, is in accordance with national strategic documents and corresponding international legislative. Special role in inclusive education development belongs to intradepartmental commissions, established to implement inclusive politics at local level. In paper, the normative framework for intradepartmental commissions work is analyzed, as well as first experiences from Vojvodinaís intradepartmental commissions. According to data submitted by commissionsí coordinators from 30 local communities, the greatest challenge in commissionsí work is implementation of suggested individual plan of support. Problems with implementation could be referred to additional educational support, including physical education as well. In inclusive physical education perspective, the commissioní opinion is invaluable, because it contains a complete insight into childís needs for additional support. Identification of barriers child and its family is faced with, as well as supports they have in educational domain, presents the first step in inclusive teaching planning. Data obtained show that within children referred to commissions boys, primary school children and mentally disturbed individuals, represent a majority.

The Outdoor activities course is an important and very specific segment of study programs which prepare future teachers of physical education and recreation, instructors and similar professional profiles. With the purpose of creating a new concept of course or improve the existing one according to the attitude college students have to the Outdoor activities course, students of the Faculty and Sport and Physical Education were surveyed. The sample consisted of 191 college students of both gender who attended the Outdoor activities courses during the academic years 2000/2001, 2001/2002, 2002/2003. The sample was evaluated by the Likert scale and the following aspects were included: attitude towards the conditions of course delivery, content, organisation and implementation of the lessons of skiing and camping. Majority of students expressed the affirmative attitudes towards skiing and camping. The obtained results were used in a new conceptualisation of the Outdoor activities course.

The subject of present research was relations between basketball playersí social characteristics and their conformity toward coach and club management. Study aim was to explore the relationship between basketball playersí social characteristics and their conformity toward coach and club management. Sample of examinees was consisted of 113 adult basketball players. Research instruments were modified social questionnaire SSMAXIP (Hoöek, 2004), and modified conformity scale (The Conformity Scale, Mehrabian, & Stefl, 1995). Internal reliability of the conformity scale was ·=.74. Spearmanís coefficient of rank correlation was used in order to examine significance of relations between social characteristics and conformity of basketball players. This analysis has shown that significant relationships between the majority of social characteristics and conformity toward coach and club management of basketball players do not exist, indicating that some outer factors contribute to playersí high conformity.

The purpose of the research was to study 680 children - 370 boys and 310 girls of to 5-7 year age, they were examined concerning their motor skill. It was found that physical advancement of children reaches, or more exactly exceeds the home references by 50 percent. Their physical advancement is a good base for the physical performances. Evaluated the motor skill of children it was found that in this age interval the girls are better in balancing compared to the boys. The growth rate of girls is also higher than that of the boys. These results are interpreted as characteristics of motion development at the end of the small child age. Uniform development rate was observed in running with evasion and in the two tests elaborated by our group, the boomerang running and the obstacle course. Reliability and validity of both tests were qualified excellent expect for one case. They are both recommended for practical use.

A group of adolescents with postural distortion in the sagittal plane were used as a sample group to study the relations between anthropometric characteristics and motor abilities. The total sample included 202 students (79 boys and 123 girls). Their posture was evaluated using the somatoscopic method by Napoleon Wolanski. Anthropometric characteristics (11) and motor abilities (12) were brought into correlation with the aim of determining causal links of the postural disorders affecting the sagittal plane. The results show considerable individual differences in anthropometric characteristics and the level of motor abilities in both genders. Generally speaking, we may conclude that the respondents with the postural distortion in the sagittal plane have either a similar body-build or poorly developed certain motor abilities.

The paper deals with the relation between motor giftedness and a sense of coherence (a specific attitude towards the world and resistance to the surrounding stress) which has been tested on a sample of 275 10-year-old boys. Potentialy motor gifted boys have been identified by means of a battery of 11 motor tasks. The sense of coherence has been assessed by means of Margalit scale of child orientation. By using a T-test for small independent samples it has been confirmed that there is a statistically significant difference between the variable of coherence of motor gifted boys and the control group of boys (p = 0.003). The results support the thesis that motor giftedness of pupils should be examined in multiple ways, including other aspects of development. 

Culture as industry is an indisputable fact which has expanded due to developmental requirements and trends of capitalism, as well as high technological contents which unavoidably tend to extend their productive and distributive forms to all areas of the society. Technological order is an evil destiny which negates the traditional concept of culture, and ìwhich will resurrect in the form of industryî. Criticism of culture industry assumes criticism of one way of production of social life. Culture loses its actual emancipation power since the system uses it for its own aims and includes it into its own circle; it gets submerged but comes to surface again as a regenerated industry. Thus the way of production enters the stage of constitution and regulation of the structure as a whole.

The aim of the study was to compare the cardio-respiratory responses of adult women, which participated in aerobics exercising and traditional dancing programs. A total of 30 women, aged 45±9,82 yrs, were participated in the study and divided in four groups according to their involvement in the intervention programs. The cardio respiratory endurance of the participants was evaluated by the use of 20m shuttle-run multistage fitness test (Tokmakidis,1992) and the heart rate was recorded by the use of a portable heart rate tester (Polar Electron Sport tester 810). The analysis of the data showed that there were no statistically significant differences concerning the type of exercise (p>.05), but there were statistically significant differences between initial and final measurements both in Greek traditional dancing and in aerobics program for both experimental groups (p<.05). The above results shows that the participation in Greek traditional dancing programs causes cardio respiratory responses similar to an aerobics program and it can be used as an alternative type of exercise.

The ample attendance of adults in dancing associations in order to learn Greek traditional dancing has rendered it necessary to investigate the reasons that lead them to participate in such activities. The aim of this study is to investigate whether the demographic characteristics constitute differentiation factors of the attendance motives in Greek traditional dancing classes. Adapted on the Greek population the Participation Motivation Questionnaire by Gill, Gross, and Huddleston (1983) was used for the data collection. In the study 454 individuals of over 30 years of age who were taught Greek dancing in dancing associations took part. A frequency analysis, OneñWay Anova and Man Whitney U test was used for the data statistical process. From the results it seems that the demographic characteristics of the sample partly differentiate the factors of the attendance. More specifically, age and years of attendance do not in the least influence the motives of attendance (p<.05) while sex, educational level, place of residence and previous dancing experience partly influence the attendance motives (p<.05).

The purpose of this study was to assess the general level of physical activity (PA) among predominantly Hispanic college population. In addition, the study examined the relationships between the Social Cognitive Theory (SCT) constructs and PA. One hundred participants completed the questionnaire in regard to PA and SCT. The results of this study showed that 59% of the sample met recommendations for PA. Furthermore, self-efficacy was the only significant predictor of PA METS, β = .35, p < .01. This study helps understand the relationship between the SCT constructs and PA, suggesting that maintaining the SCT processes will lead to regular PA. Thus, encouraging and targeting PA together with cognitive changes might be of great interest for future research.
