With the aim of establishing the latent structure of tactical elements in the attack and defense phases of soccer 117 tactical elements of soccer were defined and their importance assessed by means of 30 variables that determine the basic segments of the game of soccer. 93 attack and 24 defense tactical elements were chosen as the entity sample and described by the 15 variables of the attack phase and 15 variables of the defense phase. Ten competent soccer experts determined the characteristics of the aforementioned entities by means of 30 variables. The experts graded from 0 to 5 the impact of every entity (tactical technique) on the individual variables that describe soccer in its phases of either attack and defense. A high level of inter-expert agreement was reached in regard to the properties of attack and defense techniques, as demonstrated by the objectivity coefficients. According to principal component factor analysis and the Kaiser and Guttman rule a total of five significant latent dimensions were obtained: finishing efficiency, ball possession performance, counter-attack efficiency, combined defense performance, and obstruction and redirection of the opposing team's attack build-up. The research partly resolved the issue of the hypothetical structure of tactical techniques in soccer by dividing the game into phases and sub-phases, attack and defense players'positions, and types (styles) of play in the attack and defense. If it is clear which movement structures have the most significant influence on the efficiency on a particular playing position and performance in the sub-phases and styles of play, it would be possible to create such training operators that will facilitate the formation of the most important motor skills in soccer.

Cilj ovog istraživanja bio je da utvrdi razlike na polju funkcionalnog fitnesa kod muškaraca starijih od 60 godina. U istraživanje je bilo uključeno 272 ispitanika. Sve ispitanike smo podijelili u pet starosnih kategorija, i to: 60–64 godine bilo je 90 ispitanika (33%), 65–69 godina, 70 ispitanika (26%), 70–74 godine, 50 ispitanika (18%), 75–79 godina, 41 ispitanik (15%) i preko 80 godina starosti bio je 21 ispitanik (8%). Svi ispitanici su proveli bateriju testova pod nazivom senior fitnes test. Test se sastoji od šest mjera fizičkog fitnesa: 1) pokretljivost ramena, 2) pretklon na stolici, 3) osam stopa, 4) ustajanje sa stolice za 30 sekundi, 4) fleksija u zglobu lakta, 5) dvominutni step test. Body mass index pokazuje da su svi ispitanici prekomjerne tjelesne težine bez obzira kojoj starosnoj kategoriji pripadaju. Kod fleksibilnosti ne postoji statistički značajna razlika (p > 0,05) između ispitanika različite starosne dobi nakon 60. godine starosti. Ispitanici se najviše razlikuju po pitanju snage kako donjih, tako i gornjih ekstremiteta. Primijećeno je opadanje snage sa procesom starenja tako da se ispitanici starosne dobi 60-64 godina statistički značajno razlikuju u snazi donjih ekstremiteta (p < 0,05) od ispitanika starih 70–74 i 75–79 godina. Najveća heterogenost zabilježena je u parametrima aerobne izdržljivosti, gdje rezultati progresivno opadaju od 60 godine, gdje su zabilježene najveće vrijednosti (78,60 ± 42,00) do 80. godine starosti (73,68 ± 35,62). U ovoj studiji smo utvrdili da je došlo do povećanja količine masnog tkiva, smanjenja nivoa mišićne aktivnosti, kao i smanjenja mišićne snage i izdržljivosti procesom starenja.

The goal of a coach is to prepare an appropriate model of training for their athletes and provide adequate and healthy way of regulating their body weight. On a sample of 32 judo athletes of younger senior age on the territory of the city of BanjaLuka and municipality of Laktasi, a specific model of training was applied for a period of ten weeks and the judo athletes were divided into two groups. One group was the control group, and other was experimental. The experimental group has implemented 60 training sessions, of which 40 judo trainings (25 technical-tactical and 15 situational judo trainings-randoria) and 20 trainings with the load (50-80% of 1 RM). In this period, the control group worked only judo trainings or 40 training sessions. Statistical analysis of the results is divided into two segments the descriptive statistics and application of methods of the inferential statistics. The initial and final measurements of body composition of groups were conducted by the bioelectrical impedance(BIA method), and the two-component(2C) model was used for this work which divides the whole body in total body fat (fat mass) and non-fat body mass (fat-free mass). From the field of descriptive statistics on the level of the entire sample, the central and dispersion parameters were calculated. The methods of inferential statistics used in this study were t-test for dependent and independent samples and analysis of covariance. The values of percentage of body fat in the experimental group, which was exposed to a specific training process for a period of ten weeks, were notably statistically reduced during this period.Value of body fat from an initial 23.10% after the training protocol, decreased to 20.41%, on the .01 level of significance. Values of the percentage of body fat in the control group were kept on the same, higher level than recommended for judo, even after the training, pointing to the effects of their less successful training protocol.

Bovine tuberculosis is a chronic disease of a zoonotic character that occurs in cattle and a wide range of domestic and wild animals. In this paper, bovine tuberculosis caused by M. caprae in six small household herds in Bosnia and Herzegovina was described. For the identifi cation of the disease and determination of the causative agent comparative tuberculin skin test (TST), pathomorphology, microbiology and molecular methods were applied. Twenty-eight cows from fi ve households from the Livno region (25/28 animals) and one household from the Vitez region (3/28 animals) were euthanized after being found positive by the comparative TST test. Eleven animals from fi ve households from the Livno region (9/11 animals) and one household from the Vitez region (2/11 animals) were subject to fi eld necropsy, and lesions consistent with tuberculosis were observed on the lymph nodes of the thoracic cavity and lungs in all carcasses. Histopathologic examination by hematoxylin and eosin staining confi rmed the presence of specifi c granulomatous lesions, while Ziehl- Neelsen staining demonstrated the presence of very few acid fast bacteria. Mediastinal lymph nodes from seven necropsied animals (two animals from the Vitez region and fi ve animals from fi ve fl ocks from the Livno region) were submitted for bacteriology. Acid fast bacteria from fi ve out of the seven submitted samples from one animal from the Vitez region and four animals from four households from the Livno region were isolated. All isolates were identifi ed as M. caprae. By MIRU typing we found two different M. caprae genotypes, unique to Bosnia and Herzegovina. Our fi ndings represent the fi rst evidence of bovine tuberculosis caused by M. caprae in Bosnia and Herzegovina.
