RELATIONS OF THE VARIABLES OF POWER AND MORPHOLOGICAL CHARACTERISTICS TO THE KINEMATIC INDICATORS OF MAXIMAL SPEED RUNNING Vesna Babić, Dražen Harasin and Dražan Dizdar University of Zagreb, Faculty of Kinesiology, Zagreb, Croatia Original scientific paper UDC 796.422.572.7:577.3-055.1

Abstract: The aim of the present research was to investigate the relations of 7 variables of power and 12 variables of morphological characteristics with the kinematic indicators (stride frequency, stride length, foot-ground contact duration, flight duration) of maximal running speed. The research was conducted on a sample of 133 physical education male students, 19 to 24 years (age 21.7 ± 1.08; body height 180.8 ± 6.98; body weight 76.6 ± 7.62), freshmen at the Faculty of Kinesiology, University of Zagreb. By means of the component model of factor analysis under the GK criterion and non-orthogonal rotation under the promax criterion the following factors were obtained: three morphological factors (skeleton dimensionality, in which the longitudinal component prevailed, body voluminosity and subcutaneous fatty tissue) and two factors of power (power of a jumping type and ballistic power). Canonical analysis of the morphological factors and power factors with kinematic parameters resulted in two pairs of canonical factors with statistically significant canonical correlations (Rc1=0.76; p
