The investigations aimed at finding the interdependencies between motor fitness and somatic traits, and the degree of environment pollution. The examined material consisted of children and teenagers from the environs of Cracow, grouped in three age categories (1002 girls and 1043 boys), and was classified following the environmental pollution intensity of the locality. Considered were two extreme groups of low and high pollution.The examinations included somatic traits, functional abilities, coordination ability and energetic abilities.The results indicate that functional and motor abilities, especially coordination skills, are a more sensitive index of detrimental effects of pollution than somatic characteristics.
