Abstract. The research was carried out on a sample of 285 examinees divided into two sub-samples. The first sub-sample consisted of 199 male students, and the second of 86 female students of the Faculty of Physical Education in Belgrade.
The aim of the research was to determine the possibilities of predicting the successful performance of the "Moravac" folk dance on the basis of motor abilities. The set of predictors consisted of the motor ability variables: the motor performance of rhythmic structures (3 variables), segmentary speed (3 variables), coordination (3 variables), strength (4 variables) and flexibility (3 variables). The criterion variable was the numerically expressed successful performance of the "Moravac" folk dance. The evaluation of the motor-dance knowledge of the examinees was carried out on the basis of concrete evaluation criteria with which the examinees were familiar. The results were processed by means of a regression analysis. The multiple correlation coefficient and the percentage of the common variability on the sample of male and female students make possible the assumption that it is possible to predict the success rate for the performance of the "Moravac" folk dance in the case of the studied sample on the basis of concrete motor abilities.
Key words:  "Moravac", motor abilities, success, students.

PREDIKCIJA IZVOĐENJA NARODNE PLESNE IGRE "MORAVAC" 
NA OSNOVU MOTORIČKIH SPOSOBNOSTI
Istraživanje je sprovedeno na uzorku od 285 ispitanika podeljenih na dva subuzorka. Prvi subuzorak je činilo 199 studenata, a drugi subuzorak 86 studentkinja Fakulteta fizičke kulture u Beogradu. Cilj istraživanja je da se utvrdi mogućnost predviđanja uspeha u izvođenju narodne plesne igre "Moravac" na osnovu motoričkih sposobnosti. Prediktorski skup su činile varijable motoričkih sposobnosti: motoričko izražavanje ritmičkih struktura (3 varijable), segmentarna brzina (3 varijable), koordinacija (3 varijable), snaga (4 varijable) i fleksibilnost (3 varijable). Kriterijumsku varijablu je činila numerički izražena uspešnost u izvođenju narodne plesne igre "Moravac". Procena motoričko-plesnog znanja ispitanika izvršena je na bazi konkretnih kriterijuma za ocenjivanje sa kojima su ispitanici bili upoznati. Rezultati su obrađeni regresionom analizom. Koeficijenat multuple korelacije i procenat zajedničkog varijabiliteta na uzorku studenata i na uzorku studentkinja omogućuju da se pretpostavi da je moguće predvideti uspeh u izvođenju narodne plesne igre "Moravac" na ispitivanom uzorku na osnovu primenjenih motoričkih sposobnosti.
Ključne reči: narodni ples, "Moravac", motoričke sposobnosti, uspešnost, studenti.
