The unusual height of Montenegrin inhabitants of the highland region has been recognised by European anthropologists more than 100 years ago. In light of rather sparse recent scientifi c literature, the purpose of this research study was to examine the body height in both sexes of Montenegrin adults nowadays. Furthermore, the relationship between arm span and body height, which varies in diff erent ethnic and racial groups, was used as an alternative to estimating the body height for some groups of the population. The nature and scope of this study analyses 50 adolescents (11 men and 39 women) from Tivat. The anthropometric measurements were taken according to the protocol of the International Society for the Advancement of Kinanthropometry (ISAK). Means and standard deviations were obtained. A comparison of means of body heights and arm spans within and between the sexes were carried out using a t-test. The relationships between body height and arm span were determined using simple correlation coeffi cients and their 95% confi dence interval. A linear regression analysis was then performed to examine the extent to which arm span can reliably predict body height. The results have shown that male from Tivat are 182.36±5.93 centimetres tall and have an arm span of 180.79±8.52 centimetres, while female from Tivat are 168.96±7.52 centimetres tall and have an arm span of 166.15±7.98 centimetres. Comparing the results with other studies has shown that both sexes of Plav are very tall.
