The control group consisted of children not routinely engaged in sport activities. Methods. Knemometry measurements were collected every two weeks except on winter and summer holydays. Results. The highest growth dynamic was observed in control females (–x = 0,47 mm/week) and the lowest in the group of the female gymnasts (–x = 0,39 mm/week). There were no statistically significant differences in the average body height in children from the entire tested group. Conclusions.
