From Editorsgeneration of the tested children and young men wasidentified. Up till now, it was commonly believed thatthe dynamic, somatic development of the younger generationand lowering of the physical fitness continue.In the cited article, there was a greater dynamics of theimprovement of the motoric capabilities, particularly theendurance capabilities, than the somatic features.In the second article, the 10–11-year-old and 17–18-year-old boys were divided into groups, the characteristicof which was the level of social stratification ofparents. In most cases, the greater rate of the somaticand motoric development of children and of the youngpeople from rural areas was identified. It is probable thatin that way the inhabitants of the rural areas are makingup for the past backwardness in relation to the inhabitantsof the cities and thanks to the improvement of theconditions of living, despite poverty and deficiencies ofthe life in the rural areas that can still be observed.In the review section, the reader shall find an interestingarticle The Movement of a Human Beingin the Medical Exoskeleton – the AnthropomotoricAspects. In a very interesting way, the authors point tothe importance of “exoskeletons” i.e. mechanical constructionsfixed to particular parts of human body andsupporting the man’s movement with the aid of thein-built effectors, in didactics and scientific works. Ourtoday’s knowledge and understanding of the adaptationof a human being to walking and performing theeveryday activities in cooperation with robots such asexoskeleton are still limited. The article is an attemptto assess to what extent the possibilities in this areaare being utilized.I wish you all an interesting reading, and I wish theauthors numerous citations of their creative work.Edward MleczkoEditor-in-Chief“A ntropomotor yka”– 9 –
