Sažetak

On the sample of 737 males, 19-27 years old, the reliability of 23 anthropometric variables was estimated. Every variable was measured three times, and skinfold thickness and breast girth six times. The measurement was performed by five experimenters.
The reliability and as Spearman-Brown's reliability. Also the reliability of only the first measurement was estimated.
When three or six measurements were used, the reliability coefficients were relatively high, but they were not sufficiently great for leg and arm length, fist width, upper arm girth, elbow width and height.
When only one, i. e. the first measurement was used, the reliability coefficients were very poor, especially for skinfold thickness, elbow width, lower arm girth and foot width.
Therefore, it is recommended for scientific research ro use six expermenters, every anthropometric variable being measured six times, reducing in this was the systematic error of measurement.
To determine the real value of measured dimension two procedures are recommended: to transform the results into the first vector of antiimage covariance matrix. The second method was used in this work.
