摘要：This paper aims to obtain new and relevant insights into the significant differences in morphological status between high school sportsmen and non-sportsmen. The sample of respondents will include approximately 90 male high school students divided into two subsamples. The first subsample will comprise 45 respondents who, besides being actively involved in curricular activities in Physical Education classes, regularly take part in a sports activity outside school, whereas the second sample will consist of 45 students whose active participation in sports is restricted to Physical Education classes. The sample of variables will contain a list of 20 anthropometrical measurements used to determine longitudinal and transversal skeleton dimensionality, body mass and volume, as well as sub-skin fatty tissue: body height and weight, diameters of elbow, wrist, knee and ankle, minimum and maximum diameters of forearm, upper arm, thigh and lower leg and skinfold thickness on forearm, upper arm, thigh, lower leg, chest and stomach. The anthropometrical research will be conducted according to the standards of the International Biological Program (IBP) and the basic principles and rules concerning parameter selection, standard measurement conditions and techniques as well as standard measuring instruments, properly calibrated prior to measurement. The raw measurement data collected in this research will be subjected to multivariate analysis of variance (MANOVA) and univariate analysis of variance (ANOVA) for the purpose of acquiring scientific knowledge on the important differences in morphological status between high school sportsmen and non-sportsmen.
