Abstract:	Anthropometric measurements are noninvasive methods that allow assessment of growth and development status and predicting the health of the body. The study was undertaken on 200 students aged 11-16 years. It studied the dynamics of stature and nutritional status in athletes. The results lead to the following conclusions: all the indicators studied increased in range between 11 years and 16 years; the somatic development is influenced by age, sex and sports activities.
