Andrzej Lewandowski – Medical students from Bydgoszcz analyzed according to the typology of Adam Wanke. Fizjoterapia Polska 2002; 2(2); 122-127

Abstract
Background. The present study constitutes an effort to characterize the morphology of a group of young people selected for intellectual merit from various backgrounds and burdened by high exertion, primarily mental. Material and methods. We tested young people studying medicine and allied fields in Bydgoszcz during the academic year 1990/91. The somatic characteristics of the subjects are presented in summary form as a typological differentiation, using the typological system of Adam Wanke and Ewa Kolasa. The differentiated typological characteristics were compared to other groups of students in medical schools of longer academic tradition and to the general Polish populationResults. Among our subjects we found a preponderance of element I, while element H was the least represented. A slight difference was noted in the somatic structure of female students from medicine and pharmacy. The findings point to homogeneity in this group. We found considerable similarity to other groups of medical students and considerable differences in respect to the general population. Conclusions. Our results point to general equality in the level of physical development among students from Polish medical schools, the disappearance of the results of regional differentiation among persons studying medicine, and selectivity in the recruitment of students to medical schools.

A. Kaiser, M. Mrozkowiak – Impact of the environment, age, gender, height and weight on the size of spinal-pelvic syndrome features. Fizjoterapia Polska 2019; 19(4); 64-74

Abstract
The objective of the study was to analyze the impact of the environment, age, gender, height and weight on selected values of features describing the spinal-pelvic syndrome.
Material and methods. The study was conducted in a population of 2,361 children aged 7 to 15, in six semi-annual editions. This allowed to register 16,608 observations of 31 features describing body posture using the photogrammetric method.
Results. Due to the number of measurements obtained and the results of statistical calculations, only the results of the impact of high and medium significance were qualified for the analysis, consciously ignoring the impact of little significance. For multiple regression analysis with the selection of a subset of the optimal set of variables, five influencing parameters were selected: environment: city, age, gender: boy, girl, height and weight. The set of variables included parameters of the spinal-pelvic syndrome.
Conclusions:
1. The impact of the environment, gender, height and weight on selected body posture features is multidirectional and diverse.
2. Gender, then body height, body weight, environment and age have a significant and positive impact on body posture. The environment, then height and weight, gender and age significantly and negatively affect posture features.
3. Body weight and height as well as the environment significantly and positively affect the alpha angle; however, the alpha angle is negatively affected by gender and age. Body weight and height as well as the environment negatively affect the length of thoracic kyphosis; however, it is positively affected by gender and age. Body height and the environment positively affect the height of the lumbar lordosis; however, it is negatively affected by body weight, gender and age.
