Sažetak
By analysing differences between male and female primary education fourth grade pupils in the field of 19 standard indicators of measures of anthropometric features, it is proved that male pupils, in comparison to female pupils, show significantly higher measures of transversal skeleton dimensionality in the following measures: wrist diameter, elbow diameter, knee diameter, foot width and biacrominal range. Female pupils show higher values in volume, body mass and subcutaneous fat tissue based on the following measures: upper leg extent, bicristal range, back skinfold, lower leg skinfold, body mass, lower leg extent, central chest extent, upper arm extent. The results of discriminant analysis show differences between male and female anthropometric features. Male pupils are more robust and show higher values in latent dimensions of longitudinal and transversal skeleton dimensionality. Female pupils have more subcutaneous fat tissue which is seen in higher body mass and body volume. The differences are explained by the intensity of segmental body growth and different organ systems. Female pupils reach adolescence growth around the age od 10. The results indicate the need to consider gender differences when planning Physical Education classes in the fourth grade with the option of holding classes in homogenuous groups.
