This paper’s purpose is to show the trend and scope changes in body height and mass and in selected motor abilities. The study draws on the results of measurements of Zielona Góra’s students over the period of 1975–2010. An analysis of the data confirms the existence of a secular trend of men and women students’ morphological features. The changes in Zielona Góra’s men and women students’ body height and mass that have taken place over the period of 1975–2010 point to the continuing secular trend. The decrease in the value of the weight–height index points to the progressing leptosomism. A positive change in arms strength has been observed (verified by means of the results of a medicine-ball throw test) in both populations, whereas a regress has been observed in agility (Time result of ‘envelope’ zigzag run), speed endurance (number of squats with backward leg–throw within limited time) – and in lower extremities’ explosive power in the men and women students’ (verified by means of the results of standing long jump).
