Introduction: Health level of youth population has become an increasing problem highlighting that the dysfunction that appears at this age can be a real problem at adult age, so preventing malfunctions at young age can contribute later at adult age. Objectives: The present study examined the level of health and development of students that practice sports activities compared with students that don’t practice sports, from the Gymnasium School Friedrich Schiller from Targu Mures, Romania. The sample of students was formed by 86 students with an average age of 12.80±1.057 from 5th grade until 8th grade. Methods: The methods used were mainly from the experiment methods, we used measurement of height, weight and body mass index, and from statistical and mathematical methods for interpretation like descriptive statistics elements (frequency, mean, median, standard deviation) and analyzed with specific statistical test (the D’Agostino & Pearson test, t-Student test, Mann-Whitney test, the Chi-square test) all measured with the GraphPad Prism program. Results: The results of the investigation found significant statistical differences between children that practice sports activities compared with those that do not practice sports activities, we found significant statistical differences between weight of the two groups (value of p = 0.236) and also between body mass indexes of groups (value of p = 0.4132). Conclusions: Conclusions of the research highlighted the differences of development regarding weight and body mass index of those two groups, proving that children that practice sports activities have a better health and development level.
Keywords: anthropometry, body mass index, physical development.
