The investigation started from the need to find the level of bio-motor and health development in our Gymnasium School “Unirea” from Târgu Mureş. The research was also focused on discovering the children with BMI problems and finding the link between obesity and apparition of flat feet, spin and knee deficiencies. The methods of research were mainly experimental, we used anthropometric measurements of height, weight, body mass index and analyzed the parameters using statically and mathematical methods. The location of the study was the gymnasium level of the National College “Unirea” from Târgu Mureş, and involved 16 selected children with an average age 12.69 years old, 4 children with weight problems selected from every class level. The results of the investigation showed that the average height of the sample was 162.7 cm, weight 71 kg and a BMI average of 26.6. The BMI analyzed showed that obesity is an important factor in the apparition of other deficiencies, among students that were measured we also found 5 cases of kyphosis, 5 of scoliosis and 6 cases of flat feet.
