  • Some aspect of secular growth changes in Slovene University students = Vidiki sekularnih rastnih sprememb pri študentih ljubljanske univerze
    Štefančič, Marija, 17.06.1945-
    Studies of the physical development of students have a long tradition in Slovenia. The first data referring to Yugoslav male students were published byškerlj in 1927. His further research dealt with ... the physical development of secondary school students in Ljubljana in 1939-1940. The most important analyses of students were carried out by Brodar, who systematically measured the students of Ljubljana University every year from 1954 to 1964. The last project, entitled Morphological Variability in Students of the University of Ljubljana,Ć was done in 1987 and 1988 to ascertain further secular growth changes. Four generations of male and female students were selected. Height, body weight, biacromial and bitrochanteric breadth, and BMI were analyzed. An analysis of variance was used to confirm the differences between generations. Continuing statistically significant increases of height were evident in both sexes. The accelerational tendencies of body weight and biacromial breadth were statistically significant only in males. BMI values increased progressively in males but progressively decreased in females. The negative accelerational tendencies and gradual gracilisation of the hip region is evident in both sexes but they were statistically significant only in females.
