【 摘 要 】

The goal of this study was to examine the height of male and female in the northern region, as well as the ratio of body height and arm span as an alternative assessment of body height, which should vary from region to region in Montenegro. Anthropometric measurements were taken on the basis of the International Community for the Advancement of Kinantropometry (ISAK). Methods and standard deviations in anthropometric measurements were used. The T-test has verified the differences in the arithmetic mean of anthropometric variables in relation to half of the subjects. The correlation between the body height and the arm span was analyzed with a confidence of 95%. By linear regression analysis, the prediction of the arm span on the criterion variable is the body height at the new value of p.
