The level of development of bone and muscle tissues of students applying lorentz constitutional and muscle index

Abstract

Nowadays it is generally lived in conditions of rapid pace, poor
quality and unhealthy nutrition, reduced or insufficient movement, in
a word hipokinetic lifestyle. Consequences of hypokinesia are many,
and refer mainly to diseases of the cardiovascular system, the
respiratory system, and the occurrence of diabetes. In addition, it can
also be stated and the uneven growth and development of the
individual leading to the negative trend of the development of some
anthropometric characteristics and also to the physical status of the
individual. This research is dealing with the level of development of
bone and muscle tissues of students of Physical Education and
Sports of East Sarajevo. For the estimation of the level of
development of bone and muscle tissue was applied Lorentz
constitutional index (LKI) and muscle index (MI%). The results
showed that it is about a tendency of the stronger development of
bone and muscle tissues of students, where the mean value of LKI
is (Mean= 2,2), and muscle index MI (Mean=10%), that is they are in
the upper limit of the middle development musculature.
