title: [Evaluation of somatic development and physical fitness of adolescents from a large-city environment attending the Secondary School of Mechanical Engineering and the Grammal School in Lódź II].
abstract: A long-term study on the somatic development was carried out. The subjects were: students from the Secondary School of Mechanical Engineering (SSME) and Grammar School (GS). The subjects from each school were divided into two sub-groups: those undergoing training in a sporting club (sport group-SG) and those who do not practise any sport in an organized way (non-sport group-NSG). Throughout the period of studies such somatic parameters as height, body weight, physical fitness and strength of hand flexors were assessed. The energy cost of work was tested during the practice. The studies demonstrated better physical constitution and fitness in the SSME group as compared to GS group. Within similar studies in sub-groups, the parameters tested in SG-group were higher as compared to those in the NSG-group.
