In addition ftmctional abilities were also tested by means of 10 basic parameters, i.e. heartbeat frequency, blood pressure and 6 nindicators derived from the Conconi test. Anthropometric measurements were carried out according to the method of the International biological program, whereas the functional abilities were tested by Conconi test. Results were statistically processed and presented in the relevant tables which were discussed in the text.
