The sample of 286 girls included in program of development gymnastic and 581 girls which are not included in any sport aged 7-11, from a territory of largest cities of Vojvodina, were tested by 8 anthropometric measures. The aim of research was to compare anthropometric characteristics of girls included in program of development gymnastic to those who are not included in any sport, and to analyze how much gymnastic activities, known as basic sport activities, are efficient in transformation of treated characteristics in female population during a highly sensitive stage of biological development. Based on multivariant analysis of variance (MANOVA), statistically significant differences were determined in system of anthropometric measures. Following the application of univariant analysis of variance (ANOVA), statistically significant differences were determined in almost all anthropometric measures (except body height) in terms of better results at girls included in program of development gymnastic. This is especially true of measures for evaluation of subcutaneous tissue in girls included in program of development gymnastic, whose results are drastically lower then results of girls which are not included in any sport. Generally, it can be said that gymnastic contents are efficient instrument of positive influence on anthropometric characteristics of girls aged 7-11, and that they are recommended for implementation in physical education, in schools and elsewhere. This is especially important in view of great sensibility of biological development in referred age.
