How do I generate a sequence of variable matrices from data stored in multiple .mat files?

I have a number of similarly named files each with a differing number of columns and two variables, height & weight.

Group1.mat,. . . ,GroupN.mat

How do I grab each file and separate the variables into their own values?

Height1,...,HeightN Weight1,...,WeightN

I tried this:

FileTotal = dir('*.mat');
i = length(FileTotal);

for k = 1:i
   Height{k} = FileTotal.height
   Weight{k} = FileTotal.weight
end

I've tried other things as well. No luck

Files = dir('*.mat');   % all mat files in the folder 
N = length(Files);      % total number of files 
Height = cell(N,1) ;    % initialize heights 
Weight = cell(N,1) ;    % initialize weights 
for k = 1:N             % loop for each file 
    load (Files(k).name)   % load the file 
   Height{k} = height ;
   Weight{k} = weight ;
end
