Functional specificity of somatotypes in children

The problem was analysed on the basis of examinations carried out in 1334 children in the age of 9 years from Lower Silesia. Anthropometric measurements by the modified Parnell’s method served to determine the somatotypes of the children. A battery of 6 tests of motoric fitness was used as the functional characteristics of the distinguished somatotype groups: L, M, T and S. During the analysis very distinct differences in the motoric fitness were found between the distinguished somatotype groups mainly due to the elimination of disturbing factors, differences in body height and in the level of developmental progress of children in the groups: L, M, T and S. The obtained results supply another successive proof of the reality of constitutional types in children, and we can already determine these types by a set of morpho-functional traits

The social rise of countrypeople in poland in the light of the anthropological measures

The hypothesis that the rise was achieved mainly owing to the leaving the farming or by moving to towns, was proved. Military conscripts (20,085) were divided into 10 appropriate social groups. Social status was measured by use of stature, educational level and health cathegory of conscripts

The biological condition of the elderly men (65-84)

The biological condition of the elderly men (65-84) was evaluated on the sample of 604 persons. The morphological and physiological traits were examined. The measure of the biological condition was proposed. The measure referred the distribution of the trait in theelderly to the distribution of the same trait in the young men

THE INFLUENCE OF THE LEVEL OF NATURAL ENVIRONMENT DEGRADATION UPON THE BIOLOGICAL DEVELOPMENT AND THE STATE OF HEALTH OF YOUNG MEN IN POLAND IN THE 80'S

THE INFLUENCE OF THE LEVEL OF NATURAL ENVIRONMENT DEGRADATION UPON THE BIOLOGICAL DEVELOPMENT AND THE STATE OF HEALTH OF YOUNG MEN IN POLAND IN THE 80'S was investigated on 27,300 Polish conscripts. No significant relationships between the body height and environmental pollution was found

THE EFFECTS OF SOCIAL FACTORS ON TWO BIOLOGICAL POTENTIALS: GROWTH OF ADOLESCENTS AND REPRODUCTION IN POLISH FAMILIES

THE EFFECTS OF SOCIAL FACTORS ON TWO BIOLOGICAL POTENTIALS: GROWTH OF ADOLESCENTS AND REPRODUCTION IN POLISH FAMILIES. The purpose of the study is an examination of the hypothesis whether the influence of each of the three social factors (urbanization, education, and occupation) on attainments of two biological potentials: growth o f youth and fertility differ between each other. The results were based on two country-wide samples of military conscripts (1965, 1986), using the path analysis
