Key words: morphological variables, motor variables, regression analysis, factor analysis, influence, relations, long jump
An investigation on a sample of 125 subjects, students at the Faculty of Physical Culture in Skopje of male gender, aged 20-21, has been conducted with aim of establishing the latent structure and the relations between the systems of morphological and motor variables as predictors about the long jump performance criterion.
Three morphological and three motorical factors were extracted using Gutman-Kaiser criteria and orthogonal varimax rotations. Generally it was obtained that morphological and motor variables do not exert neither multiple nor partial influence on the long jump performance.
