The aim of this research was to determine the trend change in the morphological features of boys aged 7 to 10, of various nutritional status, with particular emphasis on the trend of occurrence of obesity among the same population. The sample consisted of 1164 boys, divided into four sub-groups (based on their age), and then each sub-group was further divided into three groups depending on their nutritional status. Four morphological factors were measured: the longitudinal, transversal and circular dimensionality of the skeleton, body mass and subcutaneous fat tissue. They were used to determine the morphological characteristics of the participants. The data were processed using the SPSS 20.0 statistics program. To determine the dynamics of change in the increasing or decreasing continuum, a trend analysis was used. By analyzing and evaluating the results obtained during the course of this study, differences in morphological characteristics were determined between children with normal body mass, overweight children and obese children of various ages. The dynamic of the change in the aforementioned characteristics in most morphological spaces of the boys indicated a continued increase that accompanies the age of the participants. Among the participants with normal body mass and overweight participants, a discontinued form of development among the morphological characteristics was noted. The discontinued form of development is visible among obese participants in the space which refers to measuring subcutaneous fat tissue. A significantly greater annual increase in body fat, compared to the average, was also noted.

Introduction. The research was conducted with the aim of determining differences in morphological characteristics, basic and specific motor abilities and karate techniques, in relation to fighting efficiency. Material and Methods. The sample of examinees consisted of group of 105 elite Croatian cadet karate athletes, aged 14-16 years. According to the contestant quality, the sample was divided into higher and lower quality karate athletes. Results. The discriminative analysis results showed that higher quality athletes were of greater body height and had significantly less fat tissue. In the area of morphological measures, the fight success, that is, the fighting efficiency, was mostly influenced by body height, in a positive sense, and subcutaneous fat tissue, in a negative sense. In the area of basic motor skills, the fight success, that is, the fighting efficiency, was mostly and dominantly influenced by agility/coordination, explosive power and speed. This very research showed that specific agility-mobility dominantly determined the fighting efficiency of cadet karate athletes. It was also possible to recognize two types of fighters, one dominated by specific technique realization speed over specific agility, and the other dominated by specific agility over specific karate technique realization speed. The second type was significantly more efficient in karate fight. The fight success, that is, the fighting efficiency, was mostly and dominantly influenced by knowledge and/or technique knowledge (Technique efficiency) that was significantly saturated by basic and specific motor abilities. Conclusion. Therefore, the optimum interrelation of karate technique performance quality, and the level of basic and specific motor abilities greatly determined the fighting efficiency of young karate athletes.

In the present, the third publication included to this volume, the main topic considers the explanation of the existence of any relations between studied variables of body build during the period of 22 months, e.g. from the beginning till the end of investigations. At that time the considerable changes related to the pubertal period took place. The results of the correlation matrix between studied variables and factor analysis for the whole material and for each gender separately are presented. It is seen that there are differences between boys and girls in the interrelation concerning studied variables and in separated latent factors. It is rather related to differences in the phase of puberty (more advanced girls than boys in this process), although the same calendar age. Girls who mature earlier are characterized by greater initial stature and greater body weight, BM I fat mass (including subcutaneous fat tissue), and fat-free mass at the beginning and end of the study than girls who mature later. However, later matured girls show, in the whole investigated period, greater increments in stature and weight than earlier matured ones (of the same calendar age). At the earlier stage of puberty (boys under study) the factor one (F I) representing body mass and its increments, is associated with final body height (at the end of study), whereas F3 is associated with initial height (at the beginning of the study). This association is reverse at the latter phase of puberty (girls under study), while F I (also representing body mass but not its increments) is associated with the initial height, whereas final height represents the separate factor (F3).

Objective of this paper was to determine the distribution of tissues in four major carcass side parts from fatteners of Swallow-Belly Mangalitsa and Moravka breeds. The study included 42 animals (male castrated and female pigs) of Swallow-Belly Mangalitsa strain (LM, n=19) and Moravka (M, n=23). Animals were kept and reared in the same farm conditions with free ranges. During fattening, animals were fed two complete mixtures containing 15 and 13% crude proteins. Dissection of left carcass sides and calculation of the meat percentage were carried out according to EU reference method (EC, No.3127/94). Obtained data was processed using GLM procedure of the software package SAS 9.1.3 (SAS Inst.Inc., 2002-2003). Pre-slaughter body mass influenced variation of the mass of warm and cooled carcass sides (P<.0001). Pre-slaughter body mass of SBM and M had impact on variation of the subcutaneous fat tissue and skin in the thigh and shoulder, and on bone tissue in the shoulder. Fatteners of Moravka breed had higher average mass of back-loin part of the carcass sides (P<0.01) and mass of subcutaneous fat tissue including the skin (P<0.05) compared to Swallow-Belly Mangalitsa. Share of muscle tissue of this carcass part in total mass of muscle tissue in all four carcass side parts was higher in Moravka breed pigs (+2.18%, P<0.01). Male castrated pigs had lower values of average mass of the thigh/leg (P<0.05), lower values of muscle tissue mass in the thigh/leg (P<0.01) and higher share of bone tissue (P<0.05) compared to female pigs. In the belly-rib part, castrates had less intermuscular fat tissue (P<0.05) and bone tissue (P<0.05) than female pigs.

The aim of this research was to determine the relations of fitness parameters and morphological characteristics of seven-year-old obese children. The sample of participants consisted of 103 obese children (63 girls and 40 boys), first grade students (mean age 7.04 years) of elementary schools in Nis. The following fitness parameters were measured: HR in load, VO2max (ml), HR in peace, bend forward - bend backward - throw test, hand taping, 20m dash with a standing start, Abalakov test and forward bend on the bench test. Morphological characteristics were determined by measuring 13 parameters of longitudinal and transversal dimensions of skeleton, volume and body mass, as well as subcutaneous fat tissue. Canonical correlation analysis was used to determine the relations between the set of variables representing fitness parameters and the set of variables of morphological characteristics. Based on the coefficients of canonical correlation analysis, it can be concluded that the spaces of morphological characteristics and fitness parameters are interconnected with two pairs of statistically significant canonical factors (p˂.05 and p˂.01). The general analysis of the relationships between the first pair of canonical factors suggests that subjects with higher circular dimensionalities of the body, accentuated adiposity and body mass tend to have poorer results in motoring tasks requiring body flexibility, explosive leg strength and running speed, and also have poorer results in the parameters of cardiorespiratory fitness. It can be concluded that obesity in young school age has negative implications on the fitness parameters in children, and therefore on their overall growth and development.

Objective. To evaluate if nutritional status is associated with caries and gingivitis in Brazilian schoolchildren. Material and methods. Children of both genders, age ranging from 8 to 11 years old, were included in this study. Caries was diagnosed using ICDAS (International System for Detection and Assessment of Carious Lesions) and gingivitis was diagnosed using the Community Periodontal Index. The nutritional status of each child was defined by BMI Z-score calculation. Data on oral health behavior and dietary habit were collected through parent’s questionnaires. Parametric analyzes were performed to compare the groups. The established alpha was 5%. Results. The sample consisted of 353 schoolchildren: 16 underweight children, 247 eutrophic children, 64 overweight children, and 26 were obese children. Overweight, Obese and Overweight + Obese children presented less cavitated caries lesion than Eutrophic children ( P < .05). Gingivitis was not associated with nutritional status ( P > .05). Conclusion. Caries was associated with overweight and obesity in Brazilian schoolchildren.

Lupus mastitis Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) infrequently presents itself as lupus panniculitis. In lupus panniculitis the subcutaneous fat tissue is involved in the inflammatory process. Lupus mastitis is again a rare variant of lupus panniculitis, probably caused by an immune-mediated inflammatory process. In literature on the topic we can find 30 cases of lupus mastitis in men and women. Lupus mastitis may present like a breast lesion suspected to be malignant, clinically and radiologically. In the differential diagnosis we consider inflammatory breast cancer, subcutaneous panniculitis-like T-cell lymphoma (SPTL) and diabetes mastopathy. With a medical history of SLE and signs of inflammation of the skin above the lesion however, a diagnosis of lupus mastopathy is more presumable. Medical treatment seems more indicated in lupus mastitis, because delayed healing after surgical procedures is often reported. Even though methylprednisolone and chloroquine give clinical improvement, they need to be repeated often because of a high risk of relapse.
