Dynamometric strength of both hands was examined by using the Coiling dynamometer. Our investigations included progenies of Montenegros colonized after World War the Second in Vojvodina, persons of the same age living in Montenegro, and also those in the Backa region. Children and youth with age-range of 7 to 18 years making a sample of a total of 2,160 persons of both sexes were studied. The muscle asymmetry indexer Nachev M. (dynamometric strength of right hand is multiplied with 100 and the result obtained is divided with the value obtained for the left hand) was calculated. Values above 100 pint to right, whereas those below 100 to left asymmetry of muscle strength. When 100 is obtained no asymmetry is present these values above and below 100 represent the degree of asymmetry expressed in its units. In all the three groups studied 65% persons with right and 10% with left asymmetry were found. In 25% young people the -symmetry of muscle strength of hand was present. No regularity related to age dependent changes was observed in asymmetry units of muscle strength. In summary, the descendants of Montenegros in Vojvodina showed no differences when compared with persons of the same age living in Montenegro and those in Backa region (Vojvodina).
