Background: Assessment of stature from measurement of percutaneous body parts is important for identification. This assessment can be done from long bones, especially tibia and femur. Tibia is ideal in this context as it is subcutaneous, and measurement is easy. Various regression equations correlating stature with percutaneous length of tibia (PCLT) are outdated, incorrect or inappropriate. So, the present study aimed at finding a recent relationship, and if possible, correlation between PCLT and stature.Methods: PCLT and stature of 470 subjects of Burdwan district, West Bengal, India, were recorded.Results: New regression equations were derived from the data, taking into consideration the racial, geographic, secular and gender differences. After determining that PCLT and stature were related and positively correlated, the newly formulated regression equations were evaluated and found to be statistically significant.Conclusions: The new regression equations derived from this study could be employed for more accurate estimation of stature.

The paper presents the results of previous research dealing with the participation ofpreschool and elementary school children in organized sports activities. The paperdiscusses the positive and negative impacts of participation in organized sportsactivities on a child's health and wellbeing and whether free play or participationin structured sports activities is better for a child's motor development. In addition,it discusses how specific sports activities affect locomotor, manipulative andconditioning abilities of children; how the same sports programs can differentlyaffect the development of diverse abilities in boys and girls and how the family andits socio-economic status influence the involvement of children in organized sportsactivities. Former studies have shown that a child's age influences involvementin organized sports activities much more than a child's gender. Differences ininvolvement in organized sports activities between boys and girls are almostnonexistent. Gender differences are manifested when choosing sports activities.Key words: gender differences; locomotor and manipulative abilities; preschool andprimary school children; structured sports activities; urban-rural differences
