Analysis of selected Anthropometrical characteristics differences of Slovak and Croatian adult population

The aim of this work – with the help of the selective statistic analysis – is to find out if there are significant differences in dimensions of adult population of the Slovak republic and Croatia. The subject of the research consists in 5 antrophometrical dimensions which are important especially from the point of view of ergonomy. Based on a detailed description and with the help of statistic testing the analysis of differences in the form, position, variability and derived quantiles divisions of examined characters was carried out and it was found out that in the monitored populations divided to a male and female part there are no statistically important differences in height and width body parameters but there are important differences in limbs dimensions. The statement that in both monitored countries it is not posible to use the same ergonomical norms in determination of optimum working space results from it. The survey and obtained results indicate that in both countries there are mostly statistically significant differences in position of empirical divisions of hands and legs dimensions and this may be seen in more distinctive diversions of quantile characteristics. Practically it could be seen that dimensions of hands and legs of model figures of Croatian population (lengths of hands and legs) are at comparable height parameters systematically lower that in Slovak population part.
