The research was conducted on a sample of 4,051 adolescents, 2,078 boys and 1,973 girls. The respondents were divided in 4 categories: underweight, normal weight, overweight and obese. Total of 7 test of EUROFIT battery were applied and 5 anthropometric measurements were taken into consideration in accordance to the IBP methodology. The results obtained were statistically processed by SPSS, v. 16.0 for WINDOWS (variance analysis, covariance analysis, and χ2 test). The conclusion based on the obtained results is that young adolescents of both genders with moderate or high BMI have higher blood pressure; lower percentage of muscle mass; achieve poorer results in the relative strength, explosive strength, agility, and coordination tests; and have lower aerobic capacity.

Introduction: Disability associated with chronic lumbar pain is one of the most common painful states of the modern human being and represents a benign condition with highest costs in the healthcare system. Objective: To detect the differences between the results from the treatment of patients with low lumbar pain, depending on the type of the applied methods of treatment: physical therapy or medical treatment. Materials and methods: This study has enrolled 200 patients with low lumbar pain, treated with medical and physical therapy that, according to the given therapy, were divided into two groups and examined before and after completion of the treatment. Oswestry Index was used for assessment of disability associated with lumbar pain. Results: The respondents were with an average age of 53.8 years, most of who were female patients (62 %) and had normal body weight, (BMI=22.6). 34% of the respondents had a job position that mostly involves seating, whilst 48% of them had a job which does not require physical activity. T-test indicated nearly two times bigger drop of the disability index in patients who had received physical therapy (28.8) in comparison with the drop of the disability index in patients who had received medical therapy (15.72), (p<0.05). Conclusion: The early practice of physical therapy and reduction of the longer period spent for resting bring better and quicker results for reduction of the disability associated with lumbar pain.

Introduction: Lumbar pain is one of the most frequent painful conditions of the modern human being and becomes a serious healthy, social and economic issue. Objective: To demonstrate the distribution of frequency of the deformities of the spinal column as well as to establish the difference in terms of the outcome of the therapy treatment given to the patients with low lumbar pain. Methods: The study has covered 200 patients with low lumbar pain, treated with medical and physical therapy that, according to the given therapy, were divided into two groups and examined before and after completion of the treatment. Oswestry Index was used for assessment of disability caused by lumbar pain. As for assessment of the deformity, visual approach for identifying the functional status of sagittal and frontal plane was used, as well as X-ray images. Results: The patients were with an average age of 53.8 years, most of whom were females (62 %). About 43.5 % of them had job that does not require physical activity; 29 % of them having a job position that mostly involves seating, 20 % of them physical activity and 7.5 % of them had job that requires standing, whereby they have normal body weight, BMI (22.6). 72 % of the patients had deformity of the spinal column, to whom the applied physical therapy gives 3.5 times better results in comparison with the results of medical therapy X2 = 14.286 (p<0.05). Conclusion: The high percentage of presence of deformities indicates that they represent risk factor for occurrence of the lumbar syndrome, requiring special attention during prevention and timely medical treatment of the same, by introduction of special physiotherapy programme at schools and work post.

Physical activities, as part of good life habits, are associated with lower alcohol intake, and therefore people who exercise regularly are assumed to consume less alcohol. The aim of this research was to determine the level of alcohol consumption among young respondents, aged 13-30 years, in relation to sex and physical activity. This investigation was conducted on 68 respondents divided in two groups regarding the gender, and these groups were divided into two additional subgroups in terms of level of physical activity: active and sedentary individuals. The information about alcohol consumption habits were obtained through a questionnaire. Our results on the habits of young people on alcohol consumption show that the percentage of male respondents as alcohol consumers is slightly but insignificantly larger than in female. On the questions related to the frequency of drinking, a significantly bigger number of male respondents drink 1-2 a week, while the female respondents drink 1-2 monthly. A significant number of female respondents tasted alcohol for the first time two years after the male respondents, which is between the ages of 14-16. Male respondents started consuming alcohol earlier than female respondents. Men drink more often than women. Women with a sedentary lifestyle started consuming alcohol earlier in their life, and drink more often than women who have an active lifestyle. Men with active and sedentary lifestyles have similar alcohol consuming habits considering the frequency and the amount. The main difference in alcohol consumption in men was that those with sedentary lifestyle started consuming alcohol earlier in their life.

The aim of the research is to determine whether there is difference in the age at menarche between daughters and their mothers, whether there is difference in terms of discomfort which is related to training (before, during and after menstruation) and whether there is mitigation of the menstrual symptoms among sportswomen who train actively in comparison to the period when they did not train actively. The research has been carried out on sportswomen from the Judo Club “Pujanke” from Split, Croatia, at the age from 12 to 17 (+/- 6 months) and their biological mothers. Two anonymous closed type questionnaires were given to the respondents. The first questionnaire consisting of 19 questions was given to the sportswomen and the second one consisting of 18 questions was given to their mothers. The questionnaire which was given to the sportswomen included questions about their menarche and the symptoms, and questions about their physical activity. The questionnaire which was given to their mothers had instructions on how to answer the questions; the questions should be answered in two ways: for ‘the past’ and for ‘today’. ‘The past’ refers to the period when the mothers were the same age as their daughters are today. The questionnaire includes questions about their menarche and the symptoms, and questions about their physical activity in the past and today. In the research, the ratio is calculated with χ2 test for both samples, as well as their representation in terms of frequency for each question. From the results, we can conclude that the average age at menarche among sportswomen is 12, regarding their mothers, for almost half of them, the age at menarche is 12 and 14. 46.67% of the sportswomen do not experience painful menstruation, therefore 93.33% attend training during menstruation. Only a small percentage of the respondents wrote that the discomfort and the menstrual bleeding affected their competition results.
