Running trials are characterized by a diversity of distances, energy consumption, tempi. It was also demonstrated that runners have a lower body mass index in comparison to other athletic trials. (Gore,2000; Matkovic, 2003; Vucetic, Matkovic, Sentija, 2008; Alexandrescu, 1987; Drăgan, 1978) The purpose of this study is to examine and research the anthropometric characteristics of the athletes (juniors 1) that take part in running trials and to acknowledge the differences between sexes and types of trials. Materials and method: the subjects of the study will be 12 athletes (6 females and 6 males) from the University Sport Club, in Galati. Based on the anthropometric measurements that were conducted, the following somatic and functional indices will be calculated: Quetelet, Broca, Erissman, Adrian Ionescu, thoracic mobility, the difference between the biacromial and bitrochanteric diameter.
