What is it about?
The aim of this study was to explore impact of organized physical activities on the latent structure of some morpho-functional variables of the people who trained systematically.

Why is it important?
There are number of studies dealing with regularly sport training as well as with sport nutrition as two very important external factors, which together with genetic factor, significantly affect on morpho-functional performances of athletes. The measurement of the basic morpho-functional characteristics of the athletes are the foundation on which may be evaluated the efficiency of the training process on developing of these abilities.
Perspectives
The results of this exploratory study, confirm influence of regular physical activities on latent structure of morpho-physiological and hematological parameters, as well these results can be applied to few categories of population: • Children - If parents encourage sports participation at an early age, the child will have a better chance for the healthy morphometrical and physiological development; • Obese persons - Regular physical activities associated with healthy nutritional diet, significantly will impact on reducing of adipose tissue, as well on decreasing of overweight; • Elders - Regular physical activities to this category will help them to maintain cardio-respiratory system, as well loco-motor system.
