The purpose of this study was to assess the influence of functional abilities on specificmotor skills. A total number of 92 male water polo players (age 12±0.5 years, body height 156.96±22.3 cm, body weight 51.02±33.18 kg) with at least two years' experience, were enrolled in the study. The investigation protocol consisted of standardized anthropometric measurements, estimation of maximum oxygen uptake, determination of the lung function values, specific swim tests and swim tests with a ball. The factor analysis was used for the estimation of the structure of specific motor skills. The influence of functional abilities on specific motor skills was estimated by regression analysis. Out of 15 correlations in total between the variables of space of functional abilities of water polo players, 6 were significant at the level of 95% (between the variables of aerobic power and lung function) and all of the correlations (15) between the variables of specific motor skills in water polo players were significant at the 99% level. Only one principal component, the General factor of specific motor skills in water polo (GFSWP) was obtained by way of factorization of the tests of specific motor skills, so the GFSWP represents the latent space of specific motor skills as a criterion. The regression analysis showed that functional abilities (as group predictors) (p= 0.00) and forced expiratory volume in 1 second (as a separate variable) have a significant influence on GFSWP (the criterion). The results of the study pointed out the impact of functional abilities on specific motor skills of selected young water polo players. This may be important for the selection and effective coaching in the early period of training and can affect the development of more appropriate and specific training programmes for optimal physical fitness preparation in young water polo players.

Given research is devoted to the regional criteria development for evaluation of educational achievements and preparation of practical recommendations for teachers of higher educational institutions on the application of methodology for assessing the functional opportunities in process of physical education. During the research evaluation standards of functional opportunities of students were developed with the usage of mathematical statistics on the basis of the average arithmetic value (M) and standard deviation (σ). The study involved 150 students (86 girls and 64 boys, who belonged to the main medical group).Appropriate norms provide more complete information about positive (negative) changes of functional opportunities’ level compared with traditional pedagogical tests. There are represented practical recommendations on the usage of functional testing during training sessions at universities in order to optimize the process of physical education.
