The research was conducted on 37 senior karate athletes’ seniors, males, at the age of 18 to 30, competitors of international rank. They are potential members of the Kosovo national team. Two test batteries were used on the sampleof the respondents: 5 anthropometric variables as a predictor system and 13 basic motor variables as a criterion system.From previous studies it can be concluded that the longitudinal dimensionality of the skeleton and motor abilities, inparticular, speed, explosive force, as well as coordination of movement play an important role in karate sport, especiallyfor the competitors who participate in the discipline kumite.The research was conducted in order to determine the impact of the predictor system of variables on the success of therealization of the criterion variables. By applying Linear Regression Analysis, the connection of the predictors with certainmotor tests was determined, i.e. their prediction was determined.Key words: Karate, Anthropometric, Motor.
