[Evaluation of motor skills of adolescents from a large city environment attending the Technical School of Mechanical Engineering and the Grammar School in Lódź].

A long-term study on the motor skills of juveniles was carried out. The subjects were 104 students from the Secondary School of Mechanical Engineering (SSME) and 37 from Grammar School (GS). The subjects from each of the schools were divided into two subgroups: those undergoing training in a sporting club (sport group--SG) and those who did not practise any sports in an organised way (non-sport group--NSG). Motor skills were examined with the use of the test battery worked out by Denisiuk (60-metre run, 30-metre run with overturn, high force jump, standing long jump test, 300-metre run, 1000-metre run, medical ball throw). General motor skills were expressed in terms of a synthetic coefficient. The motor skills were found to be at high and intermediate levels. Those evaluated by the Denisiuk battery of tests in the SSME students were higher, as compared to those in GS students. Parameters tested in sport groups were higher than respective parameters in NSG groups.

[Evaluation of the development of the respiratory system in big-city adolescents, e.g., students of the Technical School of Mechanics and the Grammar School in Lódź (II)].

In 104 students from Secondary Technical School of Mechanics (TM) and 37 students from Grammar School (LO, 15-19 year-old, a longitudinal study of respiratory system was carried out. During the whole period of studies such spirographic parameters as VC, FEV1, FIV1, IMBC and Ziemssen and Amar indices were assessed. Spirographic parameters were assessed on the Pulmotest Godard. The subjects from each school were divided into two sub-groups: those practising in a sporting club (sport group--SG) and those who do not practise any sport in an organized way (non-sport group--NSG). In the students from TM and LO spirographic parameters were increased during the whole period of investigation and they reached the highest level in the first and second form. No differences were observed between students of TM and LO as regards the test parameters. The highest values were observed in the sport subgroups--the differences in the first and second forms being statistically significant.

[Evaluation of somatic development and physical fitness of adolescents from a large-city environment attending the Secondary School of Mechanical Engineering and the Grammal School in Lódź II].

A long-term study on the somatic development was carried out. The subjects were: students from the Secondary School of Mechanical Engineering (SSME) and Grammar School (GS). The subjects from each school were divided into two sub-groups: those undergoing training in a sporting club (sport group-SG) and those who do not practise any sport in an organized way (non-sport group-NSG). Throughout the period of studies such somatic parameters as height, body weight, physical fitness and strength of hand flexors were assessed. The energy cost of work was tested during the practice. The studies demonstrated better physical constitution and fitness in the SSME group as compared to GS group. Within similar studies in sub-groups, the parameters tested in SG-group were higher as compared to those in the NSG-group.

[An hourglass-shaped enteric cyst of the cervico-thoracic region with extra- and intramedullary location].

The authors report a case of a hourglass dysontogenetic tumour in a 7-year-old girl (enteric cyst) of the spine at the cervicothoracic region coexistent with a developmental anomaly of the spine and posture anomaly. Atypical symptoms (pains) suggesting a disease of the gastrointestinal tract or heart made the diagnosis very difficult. Contrast examination of the vertebral canal made possible a correct diagnosis and appropriate surgical intervention. Microsurgical technique permitted the tumour to be removed radically.
