The relations between body mass index, motor skills, and physical self-concept in determining physical activities of junior karatekas by Miroljub Ivanović, Uglješa Ivanović

“…With their positive direction, the independent variables of the physical self-concept strength (β = 0.049; p < 0.01), flexibility (β = 0.037; p < 0.01) and self-respect (β = 0.019; p< 0.05) showed the maximum statistically significant contribution to predicting the variability of the participants' PA, which means that junior karatekas who manifest the higher level of perception on those variables exhibit the higher level of PA. …”
