| Summary: | Kinesiologists have long ago noticed the great importance of determining and comparing parameters of growth
and development in certain age of school children and youth. The aim of the research is to determine eventual
existence of statistically significant differences in morphological characteristics between students younger school
age from Niksic (Central region of Montenegro) and Mojkovac (Northern region of Montenegro). The research
has been performed on a sample of 101 students divided into two groups: 60 students from the second and
and third grade of the Primary school “Jagos Kontic” from Niksic and 41 students from the second and and third
grade of the Primary school “Aleksa Djilas Beco” from Mojkovac. Morphological characteristics were evaluated by
a battery of four variables: body height, body weight, waist circumference and hip circumference. The significance
of the differences between students from Niksic and Mojkovac was determinated by t-test for small independent
samples. Statistically significant differences in favor of students from Mojkovac have been established in certain
morphological parameters. The obtained results of research confirm the need to perform a more comprehensive
research based on the comparision of the morphological indicators of students from different parts of Montenegro. |
