Abstract
Aim. The aim of this study is to evaluate dimorphism differences in morphological traits and motor abilities between men and women who studied at Land Forces Military Academy in Wrocław.Material and method. In this study 23 anthropometric traits and 8 motor tests were used. Those features allowed us to determine 5 indexes which describe body proportions. Moreover, the level of body composition (lean body mass, body fat, water) development was estimated using Wieliński equations. To assess sexual dimorphism in morphological traits Mollison index and discrimination coefficients r were used. In case of physical activity, relative quantity of motor abilities tests were described with reference to body mass and lean body mass (LBM). All material, in comperative depiction, is showed in tables and prints.Results and conclusions. In case of our own research sexual dimporphism – typical for most group of people – was observed: larger skinfolds and body fat level in women, larger size in another somatic traits in men. Body build estimated in this way, persuade us to reject presumption about typical men characteristics of women from High Officer Schools. Body morpho-functional differences determine differences in physical activity, about which basic motor abilities decide: stenght, speed, endurance, movement co-ordination. In this connection it is rather unlikely for women to approach to men possibilities even if they start to practice very intensively. It is very important to remember that training process and requirements for soldier women are the same for both sexes. Therefore, the concern for women-soldier proffesional future appears.
