Abstract. The aim of this study was to analyze the possible differences in deep spinal muscles isometric potential among the students of Sport and Physical Education of the University of Niš, which are actively engaged in different sports. The sample included 30 participants (19 years ± 6 months), divided into two distinctive sub-samples in relation to the sport they are engaged in, ie., seventeen participants involved in football and thirteen participants involved in basketball. Isometric muscle potential assessment was conducted using six standardized motor movement tasks. In addition to the descriptive statistics used to determine the statistically significant differences, the t-test for independent samples was used. The t-test values indicate that no statistically significant difference exists between the variables of football and basketball players. Adequate attention should be paid to isometric work on the improvement of the potential of deep spinal muscles in athletes, fitness enthusiasts, as well as the student and school population through daily activities.

IZOMETRIJSKI POTENCIJAL DUBOKIH MIŠIĆA KIČMENOG STUBA KOD STUDENATA FAKULTETA SPORTA I FIZIČKOG VASPITANJA
Cilj aktuelnog istraživanja bio je da se analiziraju moguće razlike u izometrijskom potencijalu dubokih mišića leđa kod studenata Fakulteta sporta I fizičkog vaspitanja, koji aktivno upražnjavaju sportske aktivnosti. Uzorak je sačinjavalo 30 ispitanika (19 years ± 6 meseci), podeljenih u dva sub-uzorka u odnosu na sport kojim se bave tj., 17 fudbalera i 13 košarkaša. Procena izometrijskog mišićnog potencijala sprovedena je koristeći šest standardizovanih motoričkih zadataka. U obradi rezultata, pored deskriptivne statistike, korišćen je t-test za nezavisne uzorke. Rezultati t-testa ukazuju da ne postoje statistički značajne razlike ni u jednoj od istraživanih varijabli kod fudbalera i košarkaša. Vežbe na poboljšanju izometrijskog potencijala dubokih mišića leđa sportisti, rekreativci, kao i studenti i đaci treba da sprovode svakodnevno.
