Abstract

The purpose of this research is to determine latent structure in every basic motor skills space of 12-year-old water polo players and non-sportsmen and to determine the differences between the mentioned latent spaces. The sample consisted of total 190 boys, age 12 ± 0.5 years divided into two subgroups: the group of water polo players (N = 91) and the group of non-sportsmen (N = 99). Measuring twelve instruments performed determining the level of basic motor skills. In order to determine the motor skills, space structure (for every sub-group of water polo players and non-sportsmen separately) factor analysis (rotation of main components in Oblimin solution) was applied. In order to determine the similarity of factor structure between the group of water polo players and the group of non-sportsmen Tucker’s congruency coefficient was applied. In the sub-group of water polo players 4 factors have been isolated in motor skills latent space, against only 3 factors in physically inactive 12-year-old boys. A difference has been spotted in latent anthropological space between 12-year-old water polo players and their non-sportsmen coevals, and reasons for this are, besides training, specific characteristics of water polo movements and specificities of the water polo game itself.
