Journal Title: Sport Mont - Year 2007, Vol 0, Issue 12
Abstract
The parameters of craniofacial system represent a signifi cant indicator in evaluation of primary schoolchildrens’ physical growth and development. By comparing them with existing craniofacial norms it is posible to notice certain irregularities and deviations on time. The research was carried out with the aim of determining whether there are the differences in craniofacial status between fi fth grade primary schoolgirls and schoolboys in Nis. The sample of examinees consisted of 160 pupils (80 female and 80 male pupils) 10 to 11 years of age. The craniofacial status was estimated according to set of 10 variables (head circumference, neck circumference, head width, morphological face height, face width, nose length, nose width, mandibula width, ear length and mouth width). The anthropometric measurements were accomplished by author himself according to International Biological Programme. The differences between female and male examinees in the area examined were established according to t-test on univariate level, and according to canonical discriminative analysis on multivariate level. The results of the research have shown that there are differences in head dimensions between fi fth grade female and male pupils and they are at statistically signifi cant level.
