摘要：The body mass index gives us standardized information about each person's weight group. At the same time, the values of this index provide information on identifying the weight category corresponding to the relationship between the square of height and the weight of the individual. The purpose of the paper is to establish the profile of growth and physical development of second-year students in the Faculty of Physical Therapy. The methods used to conduct the research are represented by: bibliographic study, anthropometric measurements for determining body weight and height, mathematical method and graphical method. The research included 116 students, all of whom were enrolled in the second year at the Faculty of Physical Therapy within the National University of Physical Education and Sports in Bucharest, aged between 20-23 years, excluding subjects over this age category. . In conclusion, the body mass index allows us to place individuals in a certain category according to nutritional status, but it should be correlated with other measurements, to take into account the level of physical activity and the level of adipose tissue specific to each age. Also, the body mass index is not differentiated by sex; Depending on the individual's genetic characteristics, research in the field has shown that men have more muscle and bone mass than women.
