title: [Anthropometric characteristics of people 21 to 35 years of age from Moscow and the Moscow region who participate in physical culture and popular sports on a regular basis].
abstract: By means of certain anthropometrical methods, in accordance with 56 initial data, 262 men and 274 women, Russian nationality, students of Institute of Physical Culture at the age of 21-35 years have been examined. They all are third-grade and second-grade athletes in popular sport games and regularly go in for physical culture. Morphofunctional characteristics, including 74 parameters, that are summarized in three tables (absolute anthropometrical, body proportions and morphofunctional) are presented. The total dimensions of the body (mass--69 +/- 7 kg in the men and 61 +/- 7 kg in the women and body length--174 +/- 7 and 163 +/- 6 sm, respectively) and its parts changed but little during last 20 years, nevertheless, are noticably higher than the standards accepted in the 50s. A slight variability is revealed (in the women a little greater) in most of the anthropometrical parameters, body proportions are near the classical forms. The results of the work reflect favourable role of regular physical exercises for formation of optimal morphofunctional human status, interrelations of muscular, fatty and osseous body components. The low variability of the characteristics obtained demonstrates their typicalness; therefore, it is possible to recommend them as standards for estimation physical development and body built of persons in the given age group.
