Journal Title: Scientific Journal of the Military University of Land Forces - Year 2010, Vol 156, Issue 2
Abstract
Many years of research on conscripts have allowed one to build up a complete picture of the biological condition of the young generation of men. However, there are no current studies on the aspects of the physical development of men coming from the eastern regions of the country. Hence, this article attempts to examine the physical development of conscripts from four districts of Southern Podlasie.The article draws on the results obtained from the Military Replenishment Commission in Biała Podlaska. The research took place from February 6 to April 25, 2006. A total of 3,425 conscripts came from the followings districts: bialski, radzyński, parczewski and łukowski. Based on body height and mass, values of Ponderal Index (PI) and Body Mass Index (BMI) were calculated. The results were statistically analysed by calculating arithmetic means and standard deviations. The differences between conscripts coming from the different districts were estimated on the basis of the one-way analysis of variance ANOVA.It was found that conscripts coming from the eastern regions of the country demonstrated a similar level of physical development in comparison to their peers from the nationwide sample. As a result, not only do the results of the research presented reflect the state of the biological condition of the young generation of men, but they also provide a basis for a comparative analysis taking account of the variability between subjects and may also be used for comparative studies of conscripts from other regions of the country.
