Summary Until quite recently women were not allowed to study in military aviation school in Poland. Nowadays only few of them become cadets. According to the popular view women are not sufficiently equipped in skills required for that profession. In the presented study the results of a diagnostic test battery were compared in groups of men and women candidates to air force and in a control students´ population. Gender differences in cognitive and motor skills found in the students´ population were hardly observed in the population of pilots, cadets and air force candidates. This effect can be explained as a result of adequate self-estimation of candidates skills.

Study aim: the aim of this study was to determine how body height, body weight, and moderate physical activity affected postural stability in young schoolchildren. Materials and methods: the study population consisted of 148 primary school pupils. To assess postural stability, we used the CQStab2P stabilometric equipment (the bi-platform version), and an assessment of physical activity was conducted via questionnaire. Results: the study revealed that both greater body weight and greater body height positively affected postural stability in the studied population. We found a low, yet significant correlation regarding postural stability in children who attended sports classes. In the cases of path length and mean amplitude of sway with eyes closed, the children who were more active in sports had better vertical postural stability. We did not find any relationships between static balance and the number of sports classes attended in a week, or with participating in extra academic classes. Conclusions: 1. Children’s postural stability improved with age. 2. Children who took part in sports classes had better body balance. 3. The number of sports classes attended did not correlate with better postural stability.
