Abstract

The study was conducted on 94 subjects, including 50 boys and 44 girls who attended the preschool institution „11. April“in Novi Beograd aged 6-7. Multivariate analysis of variance showed a statistically significant difference (p=0.00) in terms of anthropometric characteristics (F=4.73). In terms of individual anthropometric variables statistically significant differences were observed in the variables: Height (p=0.00), Range of arm (p=0.01), Arm length (p = 0.00), Wrist diameter (p=0.00) in favor of boys, and the Width of the pelvis (p=0.02), Medium scope of stretched upper arm (p=0.05) in favor of girls.
