Abstract

The sample of 120 first-year pupils of Traffic School in Novi Sad (15 years old +/-6 months) was analyzed for differences in anthropometrical characteristics of boys and girls. The whole sample was divided in two groups according to gender, one of which included 60 boys and the other had 60 girls. Anthropometric characteristics were assessed by a battery of the following anthropometric variables: body height, body mass, mean chest girth, mean midarm girth, maximum girth of forearm, upper leg girth and lower leg girth. Subcutaneous fat tissue was assessed by the following anthropometric measures: upper arm skinfold, skinfold of back, and abdominal skinfold. Body mass index was calculated according to these data. The obtained data are processed statistically, and the differences between the groups are determined according to multivariate analysis of variance and discriminant analysis. Research results are shown in tables and discussed subsequently.
