Abstract. Successful karate depends on several factors mutually integrated in a karate athlete as a multidimensional anthropological system. Cognitive abilities are necessary for the successful performance sports karate, we need to start from the existence of the problem of general cognitive (intellectual) abilities depending on: the state of the reception system, decoding processor, the structuring and research of incoming information, the processor for serial analysis of information and processor for the simultaneous analysis of information. The performed empirical research had the aim of establishing the status of cognitive features of Serbian karatists and indicating the importance of their specific identification as an important factor for successful realization of the training process in sports karate. The current study was realized as an empirical transversal study, with the implementation of a survey method, on a sample of 100 male karatists between the ages of 18-27. The model of cognitive abilities applied in this study was in accordance with the metric features of cognitive measuring instruments, the KOG-3 battery of tests. The factor structure of the intellectual abilities of the participants was analyzed on the basis of all the information given by matrix of significant main components. On the basis of Momirovic's B6 criteria, one latent dimension (54.45% of the common variance) was isolated, and which could be marked as a general cognitive factor.
Key words: karate, kumite, cognitive abilities, sportsmen
DETERMINANTE KOGNITIVNIH SPOSOBNOSTI TAKMIČARA U SPORTSKOM KARATEU
Uspešno bavljenje karate sportom zavisi od niza faktora koji su međusobno integrisani u karate sportisti kao višedimenzionalnom antropološkom sistemu. Kada je reč o kognitivnim sposobnostima koje su potrebne za uspešno bavljenje sportskim karateom, mora se poći od problema egzistencije generalne kognitivne (intelektualne) sposobnosti koja zavisi od: stanja receptorskog sistema, procesora za dekodiranje, struktuiranje i pretraživanje ulaznih informacija, procesora za serijalnu analizu informacija i procesora za simultanu analizu informacija. Sprovedeno emprijisko istraživanje imalo je za cilj utvrđivanje statusa kognitivnih karakteristika srpskih karate sportista i ukazivanje na značaj njihove konkrente identifikacije, kao bitnog činioca za uspešnost realizacije trenažnog procesa u sportskom karateu. Istraživanje je realizovano kao empirijska transverzalna studija, uz primenu Survay metoda, na uzorku od 100 karatista takmičara muškog pola, uzrasta između 18 i 27 godina. Model kognitivnih sposobnosti koji je primenjen u ovom istraživanju bio je u skladu sa metrijskim karakteristikama kognitivnih mernih instrumenata, baterijom testova KOG-3. Faktorska struktura intelektualnih sposobnosti ispitanika, analizirana je na osnovu svih informacija koja pruža matrica značajnih glavnih komponenti. Na osnovu Momirovićevog B6 kriterijuma izolovana je jedna latentna dimenzija (54.45% zajedničke varijanse) koja se može označiti kao generalni kognitivni faktor.
Ključne reči: karate, kumite, kognitivne sposobnosti, sportisti.
