<b>Turning around a Vertical Axis as a Manifestation of Human Rotation and its Relation to Concepts of Upper and Lower Limb Preference, Differences in Relation to Gender in Adolescent Population</b> The current study was conducted in order to examine the structure and relation between rotation, item (turning around a vertical axis) and validated preference tasks for the evaluation of the concepts of handedness and footedness in the adolescent population. A total of 220 individuals from Prague high schools (males = 104, females = 116) in the 17–19 age range (mean age 18.1 years) participated. Structural equation modelling, specifically MIMIC models, showed that turning behaviour has a significant regression relation to the concept of “lower limb preference” p < 0.001. Participants with a right foot preference had a tendency to do rotation on the left side, whereas participants who showed a left foot preference in the tasks tested had a tendency to rotate on the right side. Moreover, in further processing of data by multigroup modelling it was found that the female population showed a slightly more stable preference of both locomotive organs than males, but a poor tendency in rotating. By contrast, the male population showed a significantly (p < 0.01) strong relation of lower limb preference and rotating around a vertical axis, in the sense of rotating on the opposite side than the preferred lower limb. The limitations of the study and further suggestions are discussed. <b>Otáčení kolem vertikální osy jako projev lidské rotace a jeho vztah ke konceptům preference horní a dolní končetiny, rozdíly v závislosti na pohlaví u populace adolescentů</b> Cílem studie bylo modelovat manifestní proměnnou preferenci rotace (otáčení kolem vertikální osy) a zjistit její vztah ke specifickým konceptům hodnotících preferenci horní a dolní končetiny u populace adolescentů. Studie se zúčastnilo 220 studentů pražských gymnázií (muži = 104, ženy = 116) ve věkovém rozpětí 17–19 let (průměrný věk 18,1 roku). Preference horní i dolní končetiny byla zjišťována prostřednictvím validizovaných testů. Použitá metoda strukturálního modelování konkrétně MIMIC modely ukázala, že indikátor otáčení kolem vertikální osy má na hladině p < 0,05 signifikantní regresní vztah ke konceptu hodnotícího preferenci dolní končetiny. Testované osoby, s pravostrannou preferencí dolní končetiny měli tendenci provádět otočení kolem vertikální osy doleva. Toto zjištění bylo dále modelováno pro každé pohlaví zvlášť. Z výsledků tohoto modelování vyplývá, ženská subpopulace má stabilnější preferenci lokomočních orgánů ovšem ne signifikantně regresní vztah mezi preferencí dolní končetiny a otočením kolem vertikální osy. Mužská subpopulace vykázala signifikantní regresní inverzní vztah mezi konceptem preference dolní končetiny a otočením se kolem vertikální osy p < 0,01. Ve studii jsou diskutována omezení tohoto výzkumu i další doporučení zkoumání fenoménu rotace ve vztahu k motorickým projevům laterality.
