The question is how many children in specific region are appropriate with mentioned morphological model, when future top-level results is planed? Another question is, are the morphological characteristics and postural status of some population limited factor which make that some region is „condemned“ on much harder way to succes in sport gymnastics? Morphological and postural status was evaluated on the sample of i.e. 412 girls 6-8 years old of the region of Vojvodina, and compared to recomended standards of World gymnastic Federation (FIG).
