Abstract:	The anthropometric measurements are non-invasive methods which determine the condition of growth and development, as well as the prediction of the health of the organism. The research has been done on 200 students aged between 11-16 years old. It studied the level of high development, nutrition level and the proportion between different segments of the body. One group of students is represented by sportsmen and the other is represented by students who do not practice any sports (un-sportsmen). The results lead to the following conclusions: all the studied indicators increased in the age span 11-16 years old; the somatic development is influenced according to age, sex and sport activities.
