Abstract

In the sample of 356 female students (96 female students of the Faculty of Physical Education and 260 female students of other Zagreb University faculties) the body fat amount and percentage were investigated using anthropometry and generalized equation by Jackson and Pollock (1985). The results have shown that Physical Education female students have lower relative and absolute body fat values already at the very beginning of their University education. It is acceptable to conclude that Physical Education female students regarding the analyzed characteristic belong to the population quite different than that of female students from other faculties.
