Sažetak
The study analyzed the relations between the first and second body axis with the development of other morphologic characteristics. The sample involved 737 men and 308 women aged 19 to 27. The first horizontal axis was defined as biacromial range and the second bicrystal range, while the other morphologic characteristics were 18 standard measures of longitudinal and transversal dimensionality of the skeleton, volume and body mass and subcutaneous fat tissue.
Relations of these measures with the first and second horizontal axis were analyzed by means of Pearsons correlation coefficients. We also analyzed the indexes of sex dismorphism for biacromial and bicrystal range which were comouted as point-bi-serial correlation coefficient between these variables and the sex. It was found that in men it is possible to speak of the biacromial and bicrystal variant of ectomesomorphia and also about the biacromial variant of skeletomorphia.
With biacromial range its covariability with other morpholohgis characteristics, a sex dimorphism is very clear. The bicrystal range or the second horizontal body axis is more responsible for a harmonius and biomechanicylly functional morphologic development than is the first horizontal axis of biacromial range.
