The research is conducted on 70 male pupils in Skopje in order to examine and determine the changes of anthropometric characteristics and motor abilities. They have been measured for four times aech (in the V-th, VI-th, VII-th, and VIII-th degree of the primary school) with four (4) anthropometrics measures and eight (8) motor tests. The obtained data is manipulated by analysis of variance (ANOVA), multivariate analysis of variance (MANOVA), and Student’s t-test of dependent examples. The obtained results point at some quantitative changes. Some other factors apart, these changes can be said to have been induced by the proper organisation and realisation of the physical education class, which is three times weekly on the curriculum
