Popis: The aim of this research is to determine the developmental trends in men’s and women’s discus throw results in Croatia. The sample of examinees is comprised of all Croatian male and female discus throwers who took one of the first 10 places by season from 2008 to 2020. 2nd and 3rd- degree polynomial regression analysis was used as the main statistical method to define the trends of development and the prediction of the results. The results of the research point to the differences in the trends of development of the results in relation to gender. The trends of development of all men’s results have a negative tendency, while women’s have a positive one and a stable future, except for SB which has a negative tendency, but at a very high level. The predictions of the results indicate high values of results in both genders, but a degree of caution is needed when it comes to men’s results, as they all currently have a negative tendency. The factors which may have influenced the positive development of women’s results are quality coaching and expert work based on scientific methods and motivation of female throwers inspired by the best Croatian female discus thrower. The factors which may have caused the negative trends are very young discus throwers in Croatia and insufficient financial investments in the discus throw
