[Establishment of somatic development norms: new methods]

The work presents the statistic method for establishing norms of the "general somatic development". The method is based on experimental investigation of "Chemar" workers in Kielce. For this scale T1, was used which allows to compare different somatic features. The authors state that this model can be used when the best--adjusted curve for the results in the scale T1 fulfils Gauss model. In order to investigate the convergence of particular somatic features with the general somatic development the coefficient H was applied. It was stated that by means of the coefficient H one can determine which features show: very good, good, medium and weak convergence with the general somatic development.
