Together with dermatoglyphical, odontological and other anthropological investigations for the full anthropological characterization of the separated populations contribute and some important anthropological tests line Clapping, Arm folding, Leg folding, Hand clasping, Tongue rolling, Index digitalis. In more cases these tests are genetically determined and they are used in investigations of ethnical, sexual and aging differences. The realization of the pointed tests shows that the are under of influence of delicate nervous regulation of the organism. Todorove (1980, 1998) found sexual differences in Armenians according to Clapping. With the increasing of the age it is watched an increasing of the neutral type. Arm folding is included line a test from Collins (1961), but Rotschilg estimated sexual differences. It was established a string between the age and the right type from folding namely: with increasing of the age decrease the frequency of this type. V. Todorov (1980, 1998) has established a domination of the left type in Bulgarians, Armenians and Russians. According to Collins(196l) it is watching a domination of some type Hand clasping accordingly of the leading hand. Many authors step on the idea for the hereditary character of this test (Lutz, F.F, (1908), Beckman L.R. Elston (1962),M. Kavabe (1949), T. Pons (1961). However, about this there is a lot of discussions, because there is not enough evidence star the genetical control (G. Dahlberg (1926), AS. Weiner (1982) Leguebe A (1967) point out a combination of the activity of the factors. This work is a part of more wide investigation of "Shopi" populations of different regions of Bulgaria according to anthropophysiological tests.
