Abstract. This research was carried out to determine the correlation among the motor abilities and success of kinesiology freshmen in the javelin throw. The total number of participants (N=53) was divided into two groups. The first group (N=34) was a group of students who did not have sufficient knowledge of javelin throwing, while the second group (N=19) was a group of students who had proper knowledge of the javelin throw technique. Their motor abilities were determined by tests for the assessment of speed, explosive and maximum strength. A correlation among the motor abilities and results in the javelin event was determined by using a standard correlation analysis. According to the obtained results, we can make the conclusion that motor abilities (starting acceleration and explosive strength) have a significant impact on the results of the criterion variable only between the students whose knowledge of the javelin throws is at a high level.

POVEZANOST MOTORIČKIH SPOSOBNOSTI I REZULTAT BACANJA KOPLJA U ZAVISNOSTI OD TEHNIKE BACANJA
Istraživanje sprovedeno sa ciljem utvrđivanja povezanosti između motoričkih sposobnosti i uspeha u bacanju koplja kod studenata. Ukupan broj ispitanika bio je 53 koji su podeljeni u dve grupe. Prvu grupu N = 34 činili su studenti koji nisu imali dovoljno znanja o bacanju koplja, dok drugu grupu N = 19 činili su studenti koji su imali dobru demonstraciju tehnike bacanja koplja. Motoričke sposobnosti su određene testovima za procenu brzine, eksplozivne i maksimalne snage. Povezanost između motoričke sposobnosti i rezultata u bacanju koplja utvrđena je pomoću standardne korelacione analize. U odnosu na dobijene rezultate, moze se zaključiti da motoričke sposobnosti (startno ubrzanje i eksplozivna snaga) su imali značajan uticaj na rezultate kriterijumske varijable samo kod studenata čije je znanje tehnike bacanja koplja bilo na visokom nivou.
