“…It is interesting that a signifi cant number of research presentations at scientifi c conferences were not found in the subject search, especially when presentations at the annual scientifi c conferences organized in Serbia, Slovenia, Croatia and Montenegro are taken into account (Bjelica, Popovic, & Akpinar, 2014;2017) but it was confi rmed that all these researches that have been found (Popović, Bjelica, Petković, Muratović, & Georgiev, 2014;Popović, Milašinović, Matić, Gardašević, & Bjelica, 2016;Popović, Milašinović, Jakšić, Vasiljević, & Bjelica, 2016;Milašinović, Popović, Bjelica, & Vasiljević, 2016;Popović, Bjelica, Milašinović, Gardašević, & Rašidagić, 2016;, have later been published in magazines in full text, so that the subject analysis did not lose signifi cance.…”

“…A signifi cant number of studies have indicated the usefulness of diff erent body parameters in assessing relative body height , Popovic, Gardasevic, Masanovic, Arifi , & Bjelica, 2017b and it was found that arm span was the most reliable of all of them (Jalzem, & Gledhill, 1993;Mohanty et al, 2001;Ter Goon et al, 2011), while foot length measurement is the most reliable predictor during adolescent age, due to the fact that ossifi cation and maturation occur earlier in the foot than the long bones and standing height could be more accurately predicted from foot measurement as compared to long bones during adolescent age (Singh, Kumar, Chavali, & Harish, 2012). On the other hand, it is widely known that body height and body proportions are specifi c when talking about populations living on Dinaroids.…”

Several researches have reported the benefi ts of using various body parameters in predicting standing height, and arm span happened to be one of the most reliable ones in adults, while foot length measurement is the most reliable predictor during adolescent age. On the other hand, it is well-known that the tallness and body proportions are specifi c in the area covered by Dinaric Alps. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to investigate the potential relationship between arm span and foot length measurements and body height in Dinaric Alps population. The most visible electronic database (Google Scholar) was searched for original research articles available until April 2018. Then research fi ndings were summarized and relationship between arm span and foot length measurements and body height in Dinaric Alps population were identifi ed, as well as areas of future research were recommended. The assessment of body height using various anthropometric measures is very typical from the past centuries and it has been attempted to be studied by many researchers. However, it is important to underline that the arm span has been obtained as the most reliable body indicator for predicting the true height of an individual, while foot length was very close. However, the studies sampled with the populations which live at Dinaric Alps Mountains have specifi c estimates. Therefore, all the above-mentioned has confi rmed the necessity for developing separate body height models for each population on account of ethnic as well as regional diff erences.

“…Tako, istraživanja koja su se sprovela na teritoriji Kosova ukazuju da dužina tibije, dužina stopala, stojeća i sjedjeća visina imaju prediktivnu vrijednost kada je u pitanju tjelesna visina, ali ne tako pouzdanu kao što je to kod raspona ruku (Gardašević, 2018;Gardasevic, Masanovic, Arifi , 2018a;Gardasevic, Masanovic, Arifi , 2018b;Gardasevic, Masanovic, Arifi , 2018c;Masanovic, 2018c;Masanovic, Gardasevic, & Arifi , 2018d;Masanovic, Gardasevic, & Arifi , 2018e;Masanovic, Gardasevic, & Arifi , 2018f;Masanovic, Gardasevic, & Arifi , 2018g;Popovic, Arifi , & Bjelica, 2017a;Popovic, & Bjelica, 2017;Popovic, Gardasevic, Masanovic, Arifi , & Bjelica, 2017b;Masanovic, 2018b;Gardašević, 2018b;Masanovic, 2018a;Masanovic, Gardasevic, & Arifi , 2018a;Masanovic, Gardasevic, & Arifi , 2018b;Masanovic, Gardasevic, & Arifi , 2018c;).

The aim of this study was to examine the body height of Montenegrin adolescents from Bar, as well as the relationship between the arm span and body height, as a possible predictor of body height. The research was conducted on 101 Montenegrin adolescents from the southern region of Montenegro, of which 50 are men of average age 18.28 ± 0.64 years and 51 girls of the average age of 18.43 ± 0.67 years. Anthropometric measurements were carried out in accordance with the International Society for the Improvement of Kinanthropometry (ISAK) protocol. The correlation between body height and arm span was done by a correlation analysis with a confi dence of 95%. Then, a linear regression analysis was performed to examine the degree to which the range of arm span can reliably predict growth. The results show that male adolescents are 182.13 ± 7.47 cm high and have arm span of 185.22 ± 9.02 cm, while girl adolescents are 168.95 ± 6.79 cm high and have arm span of 167.03 ± 7.87 cm. Compared to other studies, the results showed that both sexes from Bar highest above the majority of the nation across Europe. On the other hand, the range of arm span reliably predicts the height of the body in this part of Montenegro, at both sexes. This research was carried out due to the need to create a special height model for each region in Montenegro.

Sam grad se nalazi na 42°6' geografske širine i 19°6' geografske dužine, na nadmorskoj visini od 4 metra. Bar ima preko 270 sunčanih dana, što ga čini jednim od najsunčanijih gradova u Evropi. Okružuju ga brojne planine. Najveća je Rumija, koja se nalazi na nadmorskoj visini od 1 595 m. Pored nje, tu je, sa jedne strane Sutorman čiji se vrh "Široka strana" na nadmorskoj visini od 1 185 m. Sa druge strane nalazi se Lisinj sa najvišim vrhom "Loška" na nadmorskoj visini od 1 353 m. Opština ima 83 naselja i preko 40 000 stanovnika. Podijeljena je u dvanaest mjesnih zajednica. Najveća koncentracija stanovništva je u gradskom i urbanom dijelu grada Bara, a manja je na seoskom području. Ipak, zbog razuđenosti teritorije, u gradskom dijelu opštine živi 17 649 (41.97%), a u ruralnom dijelu 24 399 stanovnika (58.03%).Bar je poznat po multietničnosti. Njegovo bogatstvo čini 25 nacionalnosti koje naseljavaju ovaj prostor. Od osnivanja je predstavljao jedinstvenu sintezu Mediterana i Orijenta. Prema posljednjem službenom popisu 2011. godine, Bar ima 42 368 stanovnika. Etnički sastav izgleda ovako: Crnogorci 46.5%, Srbi 25.34%, Muslimani 7.7%, Albanci 5.98%, Bošnjaci 5.12%, Hrvati 0.59%, Romi 0.42%, ostali 0.75% i nacionalno neopredijeljeni 4.99%. Dobra tradicija zajedničkog bitisanja na ovom prostoru, netipična za balkansko okruženje nije bila pomućena ni brojnim državno-političkim lomovima kroz istoriju. Prosječna starost stanovništva na teritoriji Bara je 37.9 godina, grupu adolescenata čini nešto oko 2 800 stanovnika. U ovom istraživanju...

The purpose of this research was to examine Montenegrin adolescents' body height from the northern region. Also, the research examines an arm span as an alternative assessment for measuring the body height which varies from region to region in Montenegro. The research surveyed 345 adolescents (164 males and 181 females) from the northern region of Montenegro. Anthropometric measurements were performed according to the protocol of the International Society for the Advancement of Kinanthropometry (ISAK). The fi nal outcome of the research are mean values and standard deviations related to anthropometric measurements. The relationship between the body height and the arm span was determined by using simple correlation coeffi cients and their 95% confi dence interval. This was followed by a linear regression analysis which was utilized to determine to what extent the arm span can reliably predict the body height. The results show that adolescents from the north part of Montenegro are high; men have an average body height of 182.89 ± 6.39 centimeters and the arm span of 182.95 ± 7.04 centimeters, while the average height of the female population is 169.47 ± 6.08 centimeters with a arm span of 168.02 ± 7.40 centimeters. Compared to other studies, the results of this research have shown that this population is taller than most nations throughout Europe. Moreover, as it was expected, the arm span can predict reliably the body height when it comes to this population.
