Abstract
The main aim of this paper is the assessment of morphofunctional differentiation and selected military skills of the officer cadets of the Military Academy of Land Forces in Wrocław with respect to their military specialty. The research material was gathered as a result of the tests and examinations of 85 men, whose average age was 20.8. The examinations of students inc-luded anthropometric measurements, physical fitness tests, spirometry and the tests defining the level of mastering selected military skills. Body height and body mass were measured. The measurements of body height and body mass were used to calculate the body mass index. Mo-reover, the following functional traits were measured: cardio-respiratory endurance, functio-nal strength, speed-running agility, balance, forced expiratory volume in 1 second, forced vital capacity and peak expiratory flow. The research also included the test defining the level of mastering the following military skills: running the land obstacle course (an obstacle cour-se in the Physical Fitness Centre – 200m); performing tasks in water environment (a water obstacle course – 50m); shooting: an AK rifle, a military gun (PW-83) and hand grenade throwing from three positions: standing, kneeling and prone. The significant differentiation of somatic built has not been observed between the distinguished groups of men with respect to the military speciality. The considerable differences of the means have been revealed in the level of functional strength, forced vital capacity and peak expiratory flow. In addition, the significant differentiation has been noticed in the hand grenade throwing from all the posi-tions between the analysed groups of men.
