Background: Functional parameters of the respiratory system, the level of fatty tissue and connected with it the weight/growth index constitute important information attesting health condition of the population. The purpose of the study is to compare somatic features and determine the degree of correlation between these features taking into consideration different ecological conditions of the place of residence.Material/Methods: A total of 114 children aged 13 (56 boys) and 12 (58 girls), representatives of the urban and country school population participated in the research. A city school was represented by a group of 30 boys and 27 girls. 26 boys and 31 girls were representatives of a village school. Research on physical development concerned body height and weight, thickness of the fatty tissue and functional parameters of the respiratory system.The arithmetic mean and standard deviation were assessed. The importance of difference of the arithmetic means in town and village groups of both sexes was tested by the Student t-test, and the correlation coefficient was assessed. The level of significance alpha = 0.05 was accepted. The assessment was made by means of Statistica 9 programme. The tests were taken in spring 2008.Results: Research findings present significant relationships between the thickness of the fatty tissue and the body mass. The relationships between the remaining somatic features, for example lung ventilation parameters, are less essential.Conclusions: The assumption that the place of residence and associated with it different ecological conditions influence the biological development indicators seems to be untrue with reference to the tested group of pupils.

Wstęp: Prawidłowe żywienie jest jednym z najważniejszych czynników środowiskowych, wpływających na rozwój człowieka i utrzymanie przez niego dobrego stanu zdrowia. Polega ono na całkowitym pokryciu zapotrzebowania organizmu na energię i wszystkie niezbędne składniki pokarmowe. Materiał i metody: Badania przeprowadzono w 2014 roku. Wzięło w nich udział 93 studentów (w tym 48 kobiet i 45 mężczyzn) II roku Fizjoterapii i Wychowania Fizycznego Akademii Wychowania Fizycznego im. Bronisława Czecha w Krakowie. Średnia wieku uczestników badań wyniosła 21 lat. Do określenia wartości wskaźnika BMI oraz obliczenia procentowej zawartości tkanki tłuszczowej w organizmie zastosowano wagę Tanita. Wyniki: Wyniki badań dotyczące odżywiania wykazały, że respondenci prezentują przeciętny i dobry sposób odżywiania. U większości badanych (73,1%) procentowa zawartość tkanki tłuszczowej była w normie. Badając zależności między sposobem odżywiania a procentem otłuszczenia stwierdzono, że kobiety, które dobrze się odżywiały, w 50% miały niski FAT%. Tylko u 13,7% mężczyzn reprezentujących przeciętny przedział sposobu dożywiania odnotowano wysoki procent tkanki tłuszczowej. U większości badanych (79,6%) poziom wskaźnika BMI mieścił się w normie. Nadwaga występowała częściej u mężczyzn niż kobiet, a niedowaga odwrotnie. Wnioski: Większość badanych studentów odżywia się na przeciętnym poziomie. Sposób odżywiania miał istotny wpływ na otłuszczenie ciała wyłącznie u kobiet. Poziom wskaźnika BMI u większości badanych był w normie.

Introduction: Adequate nutrition is one of the most important environmental factors that have an influence on human development and maintaining good health condition. It consists in meeting the demand of an organism for energy and all the necessary nutrients completely. Material and methods: The survey was conducted in 2014. It covered 93 second year Physiotherapy and Physical Education students (48 females and 45 males) in Bronisław Czech University of Physical Education in Kraków. The average age of the surveyed students was 21. The Tanita scales were applied to define the value of BMI and to calculate the percentage of fat tissue in the organism. Results: The research results have revealed that the respondents represent an average and good manner of nutrition. The majority of the subjects (73.1%) had a normal percentage of fat tissue. While examining the relations between the way of nutrition and fat percentage, it was found that 50% of females who fed themselves well had a low FAT%. Only 13.7% of males representing an average interval of nutrition manner were found to have a high percentage of fat tissue. Among the majority of the respondents (79.6%) the BMI level was within the norm. Overweight was more frequent among males than females, whereas underweight vice versa.Conclusions: The majority of the surveyed students feed themselves in an average manner. The manner of nutrition had a significant influence on body fat only among females. The majority of respondents’ BMI level was within the norm.
