The relationship between anthropometric parameters and the level of development of motor abilities of school students is a scientifically important and practically important topic. Using knowledge of physical development indicators it is possible to predict the success of the development of motor skills. These data can be used in the sports selection and building an effective system of physical education in secondary school. We measure the anthropometric parameters and test motor abilities of 160 school students of the city of Tambov at the age of 15. We conduct a correlation and regression analysis of the relationship of individual anthropometric characteristics (body length and weight, chest circumference and chest excursion) and motor abilities (speed, speed-strength, strength, coordination, general endurance and flexibility). As among boys, and among girls we reveal a direct distinctive and statistically significant correlation between body length and speed and coordinating abilities, as well as general endurance. Body weight of school students did not have a pronounced and statistically significant relationship with motor abilities. The circumference of the chest and excursion of the chest in young men had a pronounced, statistically significant relationship with the level of development of all the analyzed motor is capable of power. In girls the correlation was either not sufficiently, or had a different direction that indicates the absence interdependence. The obtained data allow to build a targeted strategy of development of motor abilities of adolescents on the lessons of physical culture at comprehensive school. The results of the study can be used by coaches in sports clubs for sports selection and sports orientation.

Pronamide [3,5-dichloro-(N-1, 1-dimethyl-2-propynyl) benzamide] phytotoxicity was compared in 10 Wisconsin soils and the relationship of activity to soil physical and chemical properties appraised. Twelve soil properties were measured and correlated with pronamide I50(50% fresh weight inhibition) values using oats (Avena sativaL. ‘Portal’) as the indicator plant in bioassays conducted under greenhouse conditions. Organic matter was the soil variable most inversely correlated with pronamide phytotoxicity. Cation exchange capacity, field moisture capacity, and Mg content were also inversely correlated with pronamide phytotoxicity, but probably reflect changes in soil organic matter levels. Clay content did not significantly affect pronamide phytotoxicity.

Abstract The aim of this study was to determine the effect of fresh and dry weight, as well as the number and length of roots and number of crowns of different types of plants, on the yield of strawberry grown for the spring and autumn harvests. Three different types of frigo strawberry plants (waiting bed plants, plug plants, A+ plants) and two strawberry cultivars (‘Honeoye’ and ‘Elsanta’) were compared in the experiment. The plants were grown in polypropylene bags in an unheated glasshouse in the years 2002-2005. The correlation coefficients were calculated to estimate the relationship of the strawberry plants’ parameters to the yield quantity. An analysis of regression for the plant parameters that most significantly correlated to the strawberry yield was carried out, which determined that the fresh and dry weight of the strawberry plants, crown number, as well as length of roots were positively correlated to the quantity of the strawberry yield. The highest positive correlation coefficient was found for the fresh weight of a whole plant and the lowest one for the number of roots.

ABSTRAK Panjang badan lahir menggambarkan laju pertumbuhan janin selama dalam kandungan. Faktor genetik yakni tinggi badan orang tua juga berperan dalam menentukan panjang badan bayi lahir. Jika tinggi badan orang tua pendek karena faktor genetik maka akan diwariskan kepada anak, akan tetapi jika tinggi badan orang tua pendek karena nutrisi, maka tidak diwariskan kepada anak. Berat badan lahir bayi merupakan faktor penting yang berhubungan dengan panjang badan lahir. Bayi dengan berat badan lahir rendah beririko memiliki panjang badan yang kurang. Tujuan penelitian adalah menganalisis hubungan tinggi badan orang tua dan berat badan lahir bayi dengan panjang badan lahir bayi di Kabupaten Sleman. Jenis penelitian ini adalah observasional analitik dengan desain cohort retrospektif. Subjek penelitian sebanyak 76 ibu hamil trisemester III. Data tinggi badan orang tua diukur menggunakan microtoice dengan ketelitian 0,1 cm data berat badan lahir bayi diukur menggunakan baby scale dengan ketelitian 0,1 gram, dan data panjang badan lahir diukur menggunakan length board dengan ketelitian 0.1 cm. Analisis data menggunakan korelasi spearman dan regresi linier ganda dengan nilai p<0,05. Hasil analisis rank spearman hubungan tinggi badan ayah dengan panjang badan lahir p= 0,019 dan hubungan tinggi badan ibu dengan panjang badan lahir p=0,219, berat badan lahir dengan panjang badan lahir p=0,005. Analisis regresi linier ganda menunjukan pengaruh tinggi badan ayah (B=0,054, p=0,132) berat badan lahir (B= 1,083, P=0,201), dengan panjang badan lahir. Kesimpulan secara bersama-sama ada hubungan antara tinggi badan orang tua dan berat badan lahir bayi dengan panjang badan lahir bayi.   Kata kunci: tinggi badan orang tua, berat lahir, Ibu hamil trimester III, panjang badan.       ABSTRACT The length of the birth body is the growth rate of the fetus in the womb. Maternal weight gain during pregnancy is one of the factors that grows fetus in the womb. The genetic factor height of the parents also play a role in determining the length of the baby's body was born. If the height of the parent body is short due to genetic factors it will be inherited to the child, will if the height of the parent body short because of nutrition, it is not inherited to the child. The purpose of this study was to analyze the relationship of height parent and baby,s birth weight with baby's long-term birth in Sleman District. The method is was analytic observational with retrospective cohort design. Subjek of this study was 76 pregnant women, trismester III. The height of the parents is measured using microtoice with a precision of 0.1 cm, infant birth weight measured using baby scale with a precision 0,1 gram. Body length data was measured using length board with a precision 0.1 cm. Data analysis used spearman correlation and multiple linear regression with p<0,05. Results: . Result of rank spearman analysis correlation of father’s height with length of the baby’s birth p= 0,019, correlation of mother’s height with length of the baby’s birth p= 0,219, correlation of baby’s birth weight with length of the baby’s birth p=0,005. Result of multiple regression linier analysis showed that the effect of the effect of father’s height (B=0,054, p=0,132), birth weight (B= 1,083, P=0,201) with length of the baby’s birth. Conclusion:: father's height and baby’s birth weght had correlation with length of the baby's birth. Keywords: parenting height, birth weight, pregnancy trimester III, body length.

The fecundity of Pacific herring was investigated from a collection of 600 ovaries gathered from various localities along the British Columbia coast during the winter and early spring of 1954–55. It was found that fecundity depended mainly on body length and to a lesser extent on age, independently of its effect on body length. Certain differences in fecundity, found between herring from various localities when die relationship of fecundity to body length was considered, were not found when the relationship between fecundity, body length and age was considered. These differences were attributed to differences in growth rate. Fecundity of herring of same body length and the same age was found to be significantly higher in northern British Columbia than in southern.

Objective from this research was to determine the relationship of udder morphometry which consists of the height of the front udder, the height of the rear udder and the circumference ofudder on milk production in the Bima District of West Nusa Tenggara. One of ways to choose a good lactational mare is to pay attention at the shape of the part external body which is udder. The sample had used 32 mares that were in lactation period. Milk production has been measured from the average milk production per day in the lactation period. Milking process in Bima District, West Nusa Tenggara has done in three to four times a day in the span of four to five hours per day. Body length had been measured from os thoracalis to os coxae, chest circumference had been measured from os vertebrae thoracalis to os thoracalis, posterior abdomen of pelvic to os pelvis and the last of os lumbar vetebrae. The research design in this study was survey on every wild mares rancher. Data that has been collected and processed using Multiple Regression with SPSS program version 23th. The result showed that there was a strong relationship between height of rear udder and udder circumference to milk production with back udder with height coefficient of 0.21 (P <0.05) and udder circumference was 0.11 (P <0.05) and equation in Y = 2.423 - 0.398LA + 0.793TAB. However, there is no significant relationship between the height of the front udder and milk production.

1. Male Ligia oceanica were used in an investigation of the relationship of body size to rate of oxygen consumption and pleopod beat. 2. Animals varied in weight from 0.04 to 1.03 g. and from 0.95 to 3.1 cm. in length. 3. Body shape does not change significantly over the size range, for length and breadth both increase at the same rate, and pleopod dimensions bear a constant relation to body length. 4. Specific gravity also is constant, for the relation of body weight to the cube of body length shows no trend with increasing size. 5. Oxygen consumption per gram decreases with increasing size and is proportional to the -0.274 Power of body weight. Total oxygen consumption is therefore proportional to the 0.726 power of body weight; but this value does not differ significantly from two-thirds. 6. As shape is constant, surface area is proportional to the square of a linear dimension. It is shown that oxygen consumption per unit of length2 is constant over the size range. Although body length was measured far less accurately than body weight it is shown that it assesses ‘body size’ more accurately. 7. Rate of pleopod beat was measured at 15 and 25°C.; it decreases with the size of the animal. At 15°C. time per beat varies as the 0.66 power of body length, and at 25°C. as the 0.59 power; neither of these values differs significantly from 0.5. Despite the fact that pleopod movement is heavily damped, the rate therefore varies like that of a pendulum. 9. The workof Fox (1936-9) and Fox et al. (1937a)on the rate of oxygen consumption of animals from cold and warmer seas and from different habitats is considered. It is suggested that many of their comparisons are invalidated by differences in body size of the animals concerned, and that, in relation to environment, no basis, theoretical or experimental, has been established for a distinction between ‘nonlocomotory’ and ‘activity’ metabolism.
