    Measurements of 22 anthropometric and two spirometric variables were taken from 86 healthy female students of the University of Ljubljana who were not actively engaged in sports. The BMI and ... Health-Carter somatotypes were calculated according to the anthropometric method. The average of FEVC (ForcedExpiratory Vital Capacity) amounted to 4.2 liters, and that of FEV 1 (Forced Expiratory Volume 1) to 3.7 liters and they exceeded the European standards for the corresponding age and height. Central and mesomorph-endomorph somatotypes predominated, and the majority of studens wereclassified into the second group of BMI with a normal body weight. The values of FEVC, FEV 1 and the Tiffeneau index increased in line with the ectomorphic component. No differences in the average FEVC and FEV 1 were foundbetween BMI groups. The Tiffeneau index increased from the third to the first group. It was concluded that the ventilation measures were higher in ectomorphic students, who actually exhaled values that exceeded the requirements of standards the least of all groups. Due to rare statistically significant differences in FEVC and FEV 1 between somatotypes and BMI groups it would be necessary to repeat the analysis on a larger sample. There also appeared to be a need for new Slovenian standards.
