Abstract

Determining of two different youth groups in terms anthropometric variable measured twenty years ago and now is the goal of this research. The testing sample has been defined as a sample taken out of the researched middle school students such from Gymansium ‘Zenel Hajdini’ Middle School of Economy ‘Marin Barleti’ and Middle Technical School ‘Mehmet Isai’ from Gjilan. In this sample 263 female students have been included aged 18 (six months older or younger). Out of the same number of students of male gender aged 18 (six months older or younger) form the same middle schools in the same measuring conditions, an investigation has been done in 1991 by the same author. Twelve anthropometric variables have been used. The T-test has been applied in order to certify weather it does or does not exist difference between the groups’ measures done in 2011 and the group of students in 1991. Considering the arithmetic average results of each variable the results are quite obvious particularly with the first group measured in 2011. The biggest difference has bee noticed with the measures in terms of body length, extremities and measures for assessing body weight.
