Sažetak
The aim of this study was to determine the differences in the dimensions of the subcutaneous fat between boys and girls according to age groups and groups (control, experimental involved in a sports program). The study included 414 children aged 4, 5 and 6. The experimental group consisted of 158 children (105 boys and 55 girls), and the control group of 256 children (184 boys and 122 girls). The children were monitored in skin fold measures (skin fold of the upper arm, back skin fold and lower leg skin fold). It was found that in the control group boys differ from girls among four-year-olds in the back skin fold, among five- year-olds in the measurements of the skin fold of the upper arm and lower leg skin fold and among six-year-olds in all three skin folds in favor of larger dimensions among girls. In the experimental group, however, boys and girls do not differ significantly in these measures. The obtained results showed significant differences between the experimental and control groups among five-year- old girls in the skin folds of the upper arm and lower leg in favor of the smaller girls in the experimental group.
