The research includes 400 individuals from both sexes according to the following anthropophysiological tests Tangs rolling, hand clasping, arm folding, clapping, leg folding. The received results indicate the absence of significant regional and sexual differences among the population from both investigated regions. The investigated population is quite homogeneous according to these features. Besides it could be stated that the received data about the investigated population does not differ significantly from data about the whole country. In the last decades several anthropophisiological tests have included in the anthropological practice which and they are important for the estimation of the anthropological characteristics of the different populations, ethnic and ethnographical groups. They are connected with the neurophysiological regulations of the organism. According to the data from a number of researches there have been defected certain changes during the aging (8, 11), and also sexual and ethnic differences. A certain genetic control has been given an account of during the carrying out of the tests. The results from the present researches have to add to the researches we performed till now over different ethnographical and ethnical groups living Bulgaria.
