Abstract
The work aims to compare selected anthropometric characteristics of the adult Slovak population represented by a sample of Slovak university students from the years 2000-2006 with data obtained using the same measurement methodology on a sample of university students in the years 2018-2023. The statistical analysis of selected antrophometric measures of Slovak population has been done. Selected antropometric attributes are important for proposals of optimal workplace arrangement and at making of optimal work environment. Slovak population was represented by sample of students studying at Universities in Slovakia within the years 2000-2006 and 2018-2023. A total of 25 anthropometric measures were selected, which are important from the point of view of the design of the working environment and its functional elements. Standard descriptive statistics of size and variability (arithmetic mean and standard deviation) for all selected antrophometric measures were calculated and compared. The statistical testing showed that the sizes and variability of selected anthropometric attributes in two decades are comparable, although a slight tendency to greater variability exists in selected anthropometric measures. We evaluated significant differences in the location and variability of selected anthropometric characteristics of the adult population in productive age. The result is a decrease in the secular trend of Slovakia's adult population. The results of the research on the anthropometric dimensions of the adult population of Slovakia in the span of two decades showed that the adult population of young people changes statistically significantly only in the parameter of body weight.
