This paper presents a survey which was carried out during the Physical Edu-
cation lessons in school year 2018/2019. There were 113 pupil participants in-
cluded—58 girls and 55 boys. The pupils carried out the measurements need-
ed for further calculations in pairs or smaller groups using an anthropometer,
calipers, a measuring tape, and portable scales. The criteria were body height,
body weight, left upper arm circumference, left upper arm skin fold - KGT and
subscapular skin fold - KGS. After taking the measurements, the pupils calcu-
lated the upper arm area, upper arm muscle area, upper arm fat area - PMaN,
fat mass - MMa, lean body mass, fat index of the left upper arm - IMaN, and
the body mass index.
Statistically significant differences were found between physically active and in-
active pupils in the measured values of KGT, KGS, and for the calculated values
of PMaN, MMa and IMaN. Physically active and inactive pupils were also com-
pared according to gender, but there are no statistically significant differences
among them.
Keywords: body composition, pupils, anthropometry, fat index of the left
upper arm, physically active
