Abstract		In Slovenia the physical and motor development of the population of Slovene children and youth has been monitored for fifteen years by means of a special system - the sports educational chart. Between 1990 and 2000 the changes in the motor and morphological development of Slovenian children and youth have been quite diverse and have shown in some cases different trends from what had been found decades before. On the basis of the collected data from more than 200,000 schoolchildren and youth between the age of 7 and 19 we have been finding changes in body height, weight, and the amount of subcutaneous fat as well as changes in general motor ability between 1990 and 2000. Comparisons have been made between both sexes, and for the first time also between Slovenian regions. The accelerated growth in height has slowed down in the last decade compared to the periods from the 1970's onwards. The final body height of secondary school children is for males 0.76 cm and for females 0.38 cm higher than at the beginning of the decade. The population data have furthermore shown that the body weight and the amount of subcutaneous fat of the primary school children has increased considerably, and that the weight of the secondary school population has indeed increased, more so for the male than than female population, but the amount of subcutaneous fat has decreased in comparison to 1990. The data on the increased amount of subcutaneous fat and simultaneous negative trends in motor abilities of children of the upper grades of primary schools are worrying. In our research we have for the first time in Slovenia found that the biggest changes appear at the age between I5 and 19. The obtained results are even more valuable in the year 2000, secondary schools were more aceessible for a larger number of young people, which therefore involved a larger number of young people having a relatively low level of motor abilities.
Summary		V Sloveniji že petnajst let spremljamo telesni in gibalni razvoj slovenskih otrok in mladine s posebnim sistemom - športnovzgojnim kartonom. V obdobju med 1990 in 2000 so spremembe gibalnega in morfološkega razvoja slovenskih otrok in mladine zela raznovrstne in kažejo v nekaterih primerih drugačne trende, kot so bill ugotovljeni v prejšnjih desetletjih. Na podlagi zbranih podatkov več kot 200.000 šoloobveznih otrok in mladine od 7. do 19. leta smo ugotavljali spremembe v telesni višini, teži in količini podkožnega maščevja ter splošni gibalni zmogljivosti med leti 1990 in 2000. Primerjave so narejene med spoloma, prvič pa tudi med posameznimi slovenskimi pokrajinami. Pospešena rast v višino se je v tem desetletju bistveno upočasnila v primerjavi z obdobji od leta 1970. Končna višina dijakov je za 0.76 cm in dijakinj za 0:38 cm višja kot na začetku desetletja. Populacijski podatki kažejo, da se telesna teža in količina podkožnega maščevja pri osnovnošolski mladini bistveno povečujeta, pri srednješolski populaciji pa se je sicer teža povečala, bistveno bolj pri fantih kot pri dekletih, Zmanjšala pa se je količina podkožnega maščevja v primerjavi z letom 1990. Zaskrbljujoči so podatki povečanja količine podkožnega maščevja ter sočasnih negativnih trendov gibalnih zmožnosti otrok na razredni stopnji. V raziskavi prvič v Sloveniji ugotavljamo, da so največje pozitivne spremembe med 15. in 19. letom starosti. Doseženi rezultati so toliko pomembnejši, ker je srednja šola v letu 2000 dostopna širšemu krogu mladostnikov in so na ta način v večji meri vključeni tudi dijaki z nižjo ravnijo gibalnih sposobnosti.
