Sažetak
The aim of this paper is to determine the differences in kinanthropological characteristics of elementary school pupils in relation to macro-regional characteristics of the Republic of Croatia. The research included 2358 subjects (1089 boys – average age 10.4±0.6 ; height 150.27±7.32 ; body mass 44.06±9.74 ; and 1269 girls – average age 10.6±0.5 ; height 152.02±7.74 ; body mass 45.12±10.39) – fi fth grade elementary school pupils. Analyzed kinanthropological characteristics refer to statistically signifi cant differences in the results based on the macro-region criterion (p<0.05). It is possible to assume that climatic and temperature differences as well as gene frequency differences to a certain extent incite differences in the level of participating in physical activities, and with it the differences in kinanthropological characteristics of subjects.
