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.

Usage of unallowed stimulative drugs for recovery implies consuming or giving to others substances which artificially improve physical and psychical condition of an athlete and thus improve his/her success in sport. The goal of the study is to examine attitudes of football players of various length of sports experience, towards unallowed stimulative substances for recovery. The sample of examinees consists of 120 football players divided into two groups, on basis of the sports experience length (first group: 4-8 years of sport experience, second group: 9-14 years). The sample of variables consists of a system of 10 items (claims) assessed on a 5-grade scale. The importance of the differences between the groups was determined by a multivariate and univariate analysis of variance, discriminative analysis, Royís test, Pearson's coefficient of contingency and the coefficient of multiple correlation. It is evident that football players of different length of sport experience differ among themselves in their attitudes towards unallowed drugs for recovery, however, those differences are not big.

The aim of this paper is to define a simple mathematical model for estimating general jumping preparedness of senior female volleyball players (SCOREpoint) by applying a set of 7 variables measured by standardized tests within the field measuring conditions. The sensitivity of this model is determined on the basis of achieved points and differences in general jumping preparedness among female volleyball players competing in elite international competitions, elite national competitions, state-level and regional-level competitions. Applied battery of tests has cumulatively explained 80.64% of the total variant of measurement. The defined model explained the criterion of general jumping preparedness of senior female volleyball players at the level of 100% (Adj. R 2 = 1.000), and with the minor error in prediction (Std. Err. Est. = 0.003 SCOREpoint points). The obtained model has the following form: SCOREpoint = -86.762 + (0.4595 · CMJARM + 0.5158 · CMJNOARM + 0.4620 · SJCONARM + 0.4812 · SJCONCNOARM + 0.5431 · CMBJ + 0.5626 · SJCONCBJ + 0.138 · SLJ. The defined model has a satisfactory level of discrimination and it is proposed for further practical use.

Supracondylar fractures of humerus are the most frequent arm fractures in childhood. Complications of these fractures most often take the form of elbow contractures. The aim of this paper was to determine effects of rehabilitation treatment and characteristics of elbow contractures. During five-year period (2005-2010), 61 patients with posttraumatic elbow contracture were treated at the Institute for Children and Youth Health Care of Vojvodina. Flynnís three-grade scale was applied to determine the elbow mobility level, prior to treatment and at its end. After the completed physical treatment, there is a highly statistically significant difference in terms of increased flexion and extension of elbow (p0.0001). In 90.16% children, the result was satisfactory upon completed physical treatment. By means of combined application of different forms of physical therapy, treatment results of elbow contractures after supracondylar fractures have significantly improved.

The concept of sustainability is usually linked with environmental issues. Accepting the idea of the body as an inner environment, it is possible to outline a more sustainable approach to sport didactics that doesnít jeopardise the youth's later willingness for sports. The red thread running through the theoretical references and didactic examples is a way of teaching that privileges communicative to functional/thermo dynamical aspects. The sustainable didactics is the synthesis of several methodological approaches developed in the in the field of Sport for All. 

The last National programme for sport (2000) has been prepared for the 2000 ñ 2010 strategic period and as such it will run its course at the end of 2010. Methodological starting- point for preparation of the new National programme for sport for 2011 ñ 2020, which could become a fundamental strategic document for progress and development of Slovenian sport in the coming decade, was based on the methodology of strategic management (énidaröiË Krajnc, 1996; Kolar, 2007; PuËko, 2003; 2008). A project team has prepared a proposal for the new National programme for sport for 2011 ñ 2020, which will have to undergo a long path of changes and amendments until it will be passed in the Slovenian Parliament. Responses of all types of public were critical but encouraging.

Positive psychology represents a 21st century movement in psychology. It is a psychology aimed at researching optimal human functioning that empirically studies, first and foremost, the concept of happiness, in addition to life satisfaction, optimism, virtues and suchlike notions, which are used to measure the growth and development of human potential and subjective well-being. This line of conceptualization and research is based on the disease model and opens up new perspectives for both psychology as a science as well as the people it is intended for. This paper elaborates the basic ideas and results of certain explorations relative to positive psychology and positive orientation which comprises optimism, self-esteem and life satisfaction.

Health care professionals consider awareness of benefits of physical activities and exercise to be of the utmost importance in health promotion. Lack of physical activity amongst employees is one of the predisposing factors contributing to obesity and a risk factor for numerous illnesses and non-advancement in job. The main objective of this research is to explore the connection between physical activities in employed women and satisfaction with oneself, one's family, one's job, one's social life and general life satisfaction. A survey was conducted amongst 300 employed women, 160 of whom do not go in for sports while 140 of them do. The findings show that the women who go in for sports are considerably more satisfied with themselves and their family compared to those who do not go in for sports. Significant differences are also related to job satisfaction and social life as well as general life satisfaction.

This paper examines the human needs that predict the preference of sports tourism in Greece; explores the tourist typology and emphasise at sport tourist roles. The sample was 269 sports tourists who visited Greece in summer. The questionnaire is based on the ìTourist Roles Preference Scaleî of Gibson and Yiannakis (2002), and was translated in Greek, German and Russian. This survey suggests promoting sports tourism especially to women and also to create and promote sports events for ages over 40, because there is a lack of participation in those groups and a lack of events that match to these ages and gender. Furthermore, this exploratory research has revealed that in the future tourist behaviour is suggested to be described by only 8 tourist roles.
