Introduction. In the current situation of the demographic low and strong competition on the educational market, such issues as the level of education as well as competences and predispositions of students are under discussion more and more frequently. Aim of Study. The aim of this study was to analyse differences in body build and physical fitness of physical education (PE) students in the years 2004 and 2014. Material and Methods. In 2004 the authors examined 112 females and 287 males who were second-year students. The tests were repeated in 2014 and included 98 females and 242 males. Anthropometric features were measured according to Martin and Saller guidelines, and these measurements, in turn, were used to calculate body build type according to Heath–Carter method. Physical fitness was assessed with the use of Eurofit test. Results. In the assessed decade only slight changes in basic somatic features and negative changes in body build (especially in men) were noted. Physical fitness of students was similar to the results obtained 10 years earlier. Conclusions. The observed secular trends in body build and physical fitness may be interpreted as the effects of the improvement of living conditions of the male subjects and the improvement of admission process at the university.
