Size of selected somatic parameters of physical education students at Kazimierz Wielki University in Bydgoszcz the years 2006-2012

The work is to determine the size of the selected somatic indicators and some morphological features of fulltime students of physical education at Kazimierz Wielki University of Bydgoszcz in the years 2006-2012. All results are presented in tables and some of them as graphics. To characterize the type of somatic structure, the following indicators were calculated for men and women: BMI, WHR, AMC and Rohrer index. Also body fat (BF) and fat-free mass (FFM) were determined. It is worth noting that the surveyed students, both men and women, in addition to physical activity resulting from their studies (physical education), in many cases practise sport at the competitive or recreational level. This implies the desired body structure characterized by low fat, large musculature and sufficient height and could make a somatic homogeneity of the studied group
