Abstract
On the sample of 893 female and 355 full-time male students at the
University of Split, aged 19-25, we have analysed the differences in their
kinesiological engagement as well as the differences in the body mass index from the
point of view of the level of their kinesiological engagement, separately for male and
female students. We have determined a disturbingly low extensity of the
kinesiological engagement, primarily in female students. Variance analyses of the
body mass index among male and female students with a difference in kinesiological
engagement did not show any statistically significant differences. Variance analyses
of the body mass index among male and female students with a difference in
kinesiological engagement did not confirm the assumption that respondents with a
higher level of kinesiological engagement have a lower body mass index. This is
particularly obvious from the sample of female students which leads to a conclusion
that the volume of weight loads of the kinesiological engagement was not sufficient
for the production of changes in the morphological status, or perhaps to the fact that
female students with a higher body mass index and more sub-skin fat tissue are more
engaged in kinesiological activities particularly due to the fact that they are trying to
reduce it.
