Abstract

The aim of the research was to analyze the physical performance of University of Defence (UD) students, explain the correlation structure of observed variables using exploratory factor analysis, and identify and name individual latent factors. A total of 89 male students from UD (age: 21.1 ± 1.26 years; body height: 180.3 ± 6.69 cm; body weight: 80.6 ± 9.32 kg) were tested as part of mandatory physical tests. For the examined group of UD students, basic statistical characteristics were calculated for individual variables (n = 18), and a seven-factor correlation structure of observed variables was identified through exploratory factor analysis (EFA).
