Abstract

 This study aimed to investigate the morphological characteristics of male and female students at the Academy for National Security. The sample consisted of 54 healthy first and second-year students, including 41 males (age: 19.83 ± 0.74 yrs.; body height: 181.01 ± 7.26 cm; body mass: 76.77 ± 8.90 kg) and 12 females (age: 19.62 ± 0.65 yrs., body height: 169.72 ± 4.20 cm; body mass: 68.65 ± 8.91 kg). All measurements were performed during the academic year 2023-2024 at the Methodological Research Laboratory (MIL) at the Faculty of Physical Education and Sport, University of Belgrade. The measurement of body composition was carried out using multisegmental bioelectrical impedance, using the device: "InBody 720“. Six body composition variables were analyzed: Body Mass Index (BMI), Percent of Body Fat Mass (PBF), Percent of Skeletal Muscle Mass (PSMM), Skeletal Muscle Mass Index (SMMI), Fat Mass index (FMI) and Protein Fat Index (PFI). The values obtained for all variables were processed using basic descriptive statistics. The results showed that the mean BMI of male and female students was 23.41 ± 2.21 kg·m-2and 23.82 ± 2.89 kg·m-2, PBF was 13.32 ± 4.06 % and 29.94 ± 5.02 %, PSMM was 49.38 ± 2.91 % and 38.72 ± 2.98 %, SMMI was 11.53 ± 1.00 kg·m-2and 9.17 ± 0.84 kg·m-2, FMI was 3.15 kg·m-2and 7.24 kg·m-2, PFI was 1.51 ± 0.73 and 0.48 ± 0.12. Based on the results, it can be concluded that the current morphological status of students at the Academy for National Security falls within the category of the population with average anthropometric and morphological status of students at the University of Belgrade, with females having a higher percentage of body fat, exceeding the biological maximum for females.
