Using the ‘’TALENT’’ expert system we established potential talent in 93 randomly selected male and female primary school pupils in 14 different sports and sport disciplines based on the level of their motor and functional abilities evaluated by 7 measuring instruments. The results of the study show that particularly female pupils are, with regard to their motor and functional abilities, most talented for running athletic disciplines and kicking martial arts. We also revealed a high level of talent for sport games in male pupils, primarily tennis and football; while female pupils have talent for water sports in addition to some sport games and all kinds of martial arts. A similar distribution of sport talent in male and female pupils most likely leads to the similar structure of anthropological features in both sexes, and generally to a slightly higher level of potential sport talent in girls compared to the boys from this region. Key words: expert system; school; sport; talent. Introduction Sport is an activity people perform according to an established set of rules with the purpose of competing with an opponent or a team and by applying a set system of points based on which the winner is determined. Basically, sports are divided into team sports and individual sports. A characteristic of all sports activities is that they differ in structure and content. The research conducted by Katić et al. (2005) has shown that the efficiency of an individual in a certain sport activity mostly depends on the compatibility of their anthropological features, the so-called anthropological model for Croatian Journal of Education Vol.18; No.3/2016, pages: 643-663 Original research paper Paper submitted: 1 st July 2015 Paper accepted: 23 rd December 2015 doi: 10.15516/cje.v18i3.1909
