Abstract

The paper presents the distribution and average values of some anthropometric characteristics
in 1,210 males aged 18 in »Primorsko-Goranska« County, as well as some manifestations of physical fitness parameters and some correlations between these two groups of characteristics. The prevalence of hypertensive and limit values for systolic blood pressure (SBP) was 8.6% and for diastolic blood pressure (DBP) 2.1%. Body weight and body mass index were in a significantly positive correlation with SBP and DBP. Body mass index showed a significantly positive correlation with heart rate after step test. Therefore, it can be concluded that overweight reduces tolerance on workload.
