Abstract
The sample of 246 male subject and the sample of 201 female students, aged between 16 and 19, were anlyzed for canonic relations between 13 anthropometric measures and achievement in some secondary subjects (Croatian language, mathematics and physical education).
In case of male students, the first canonic dimension is explained by a positive effect of mesomorphic body build on achievement in physical education, and the second by a positive effect of lectomorphic body build on the achievement in Croatian language and somewhat less is the effect of pycnomorphy on the achievement in mathematics, In the case of female students, the first canonic dimensions is explained by a positive effect of the leptomesomorphic body build on the achievement in Croatian language any by the effect of pyctomorphy on the achievement in mathematics, and the second by a negative effect of adipose voluminosity on achievement in physical education.
