Although its underlying concept is a relatively simple one—the measurement of the human body and its parts—anthropometry employs a myriad of methods and instruments, and is useful for a variety of purposes, from understanding the impact of disease on individuals to tracking changes in populations over time. The first interdisciplinary reference on the subject, the Handbook of Anthropometry brings this wide-ranging field together: basic theory and highly specialized topics in normal and abnormal anthropometry in terms of health, disease prevention, and intervention. Over 140 self-contained chapters cover up-to-date indices, the latest studies on computerized methods, shape-capturing systems, and bioelectrical impedance, data concerning single tissues and whole-body variables, and reports from different areas of the world. Chapters feature helpful charts and illustrations, cross-references to related chapters are included, and key points are presented in bullet form for ease of comprehension. Together, the Handbook’s thirteen sections entail all major aspects of anthropometrical practice and research, including: Tools and techniques. Developmental stages, from fetus to elder. Genetic diseases, metabolic diseases, and cancer. Exercise and nutrition. Ethnic, cultural, and geographic populations. Special conditions and circumstances. The Handbook of Anthropometry is an invaluable addition to the reference libraries of a broad spectrum of health professionals, among them health scientists, physicians, physiologists, nutritionists, dieticians, nurses, public health researchers, epidemiologists, exercise physiologists, and physical therapists. It is also useful to college-level students and faculty in the health disciplines, as well as to policymakers and ergonomists.

One of the greatest challenges for the apparel industry is to produce garments that fit customers properly. Anthropometry, Apparel Sizing and Design addresses the need for improved characterization of our populations in order to tailor garments according to size, weight, and shape of consumers. This book reviews techniques in anthropometry, sizing system developments, and their applications to clothing design. Part one considers a range of anthropometric methods. The text discusses the range of sizing systems, including data mining techniques, useful for bridging the gap between ergonomists and designers. Chapters examine three-dimensional anthropometric methods and multivariate and bivariate analysis for identifying key body dimensions. Part two then explains how to analyze anthropometric data to develop appropriate sizing systems. Here, the book discusses classification and clustering of human body shapes, the importance of national surveys, and using the data obtained to ensure inclusive design strategies. The book covers sizing systems developed for particular groups, apparel size designation, and the potential for international standardization. It considers the advantages of 3D body scanning and computer-aided design, and the use of body motion analysis to address ease allowance requirements of apparel. With its distinguished editors and international contributors, this work is an essential reference, particularly due to the specific combination of aspects of anthropometry and the sizing of clothing, for researchers, garment designers, students, and manufacturers in the clothing and fashion industry. Reviews techniques in anthropometry, sizing system developments, and their applications to clothing design Examines 3D anthropometric methods and multivariate and bivariate analysis for identifying key body dimensions Covers sizing systems developed for particular groups, apparel size designation, and the potential for international standardization

This book provides a broad understanding of the main computational techniques used for anthropometric data, focusing specifically on data for female athletes. A number of data analysis techniques are introduced along with the application of such in a sports setting. These techniques will have potential for application in several disciplines that cover orthopedic injury. Chapters range from new methods to novel applications of existing methods to give readers a better understanding of the topic. The book’s authors also performed the technology and high speed detector equipment to determine correct operational procedures to avoid hazard to human health. The authors believe the information in the book will help to reduce the risk of sports activities. The book also includes the latest coverage of sports databases and the development of new computational methods and efficient algorithms for sports and engineering software.

An excerpt from the beginning of the Author's INTRODUCTION Definition: Anthropometry may perhaps be most simply and comprehensively defined as the conventional art or system of measuring the human body and its parts. The systems of measuring the skull and the skeleton are known separately as craniometry and osteometry, but these terms are frequently merged with that of anthropometry; thus we speak only of anthropometric instruments, anthropometric methods anthropometric laboratories. Object: The object of anthropometry is to supplement visual observation, which is always more or less limited and uncertain, by accurate mechanical determinations. The ideal function of anthropometry would be the complete elimination of personal bias, and the furnishing of absolutely correct data on such dimensions of the body, organs, or skeleton, as might be of importance to those who are to use the measurements. This ideal is not attainable to a perfection, but it is the highest duty for every worker to strive for as close approach to it as may be in his power. Diversity: Anthropometry in general is not and may never be one uniform system. It is a handmaid to various classes of workers who have different objects in view, and measurements that are indispensable to one may be of no concern to another. Measurements of the body were begun and are used by the artisan, and by the artist, the object of the one being a proper "fit' and that of the other a correct or artistically superior production. They were and are employed in recruiting armies, with the aim of eliminating the inferiors. They are used to some extent by medical men and dentists, to assist them in reaching diagnosis or tracing improvement in their patients. They enter largely into the modern systems of college and other gymnastics, and lately also into those of the popular baby studies. Certain measurements play important role in criminological and medico-legal identification. Finally, we have measurements that have become invaluable aids to scientific research in physiology, anatomy and especially anthropology.

This book provides a path for the most efficient design of furniture, clothing, tools, or anything that must be used safely, comfortably, and efficiently by taking into account the dimensions of the human body. Anthropometry provides the human dimensional data, and the techniques to properly apply these data may vary in proportion to the complexity of the population to be accommodated. This is the first document to present a global approach to anthropometry, extending from the use of averages and percentiles to methods appropriate for more complex designs, such as multivariate analysis. The unifying theme for all anthropometric methods is what is referred to as case selection. Case selection is the process of choosing realistic combinations of body dimensions that must be accommodated simultaneously for a design to fit its target audience. Basic and advanced methodologies to properly apply anthropometric data are described, their advantages and disadvantages are explained, and illustrative examples are provided. [Ed.]
