Considerations upon Testing the Children’s Somatic Development, Using the Computer

Abstract

The aim of this study is to analyze the ways of the children’s somatic-physical development. Two methods were evaluated: the comparison between the measured dimensions and the medium values, obtained from the specialized literature, and the one between the calculus of the proportionality rates and the medium rates for the population. Furthermore, this paper is based on a computer program that stores the history of children’s growth, available for use in surveys on large communities (school, medical center, sport selection).
