Kinanthropometry

Kinanthropometry

Kinanthropometry is defined as the study of human size, shape, proportion,composition, maturation, and gross function, in order to understand growth,exercise, performance, and nutrition. [ [http://www.emeraldinsight.com/Insight/ViewContentServlet?Filename=Published/EmeraldFullTextArticle/Pdf/0580120206.pdf Emerald: Article Request - Kinanthropometry study of the physique of disciplined personnel ] ] It is a scientific discipline that is concerned with the measurement of individuals in a variety of morphological perspectives, its application to movement and those factors which influence movement, including: components of body build, body measurements, proportions, composition, shape and maturation; motor abilities and cardiorespiratory capacities; physical activity including recreational activity as well as highly specialized sports performance. [ [http://www-rohan.sdsu.edu/~lcarter/isak/what_is_isak.htm International Society For The Advancement Of Kinanthropometry ] ] The predominant focus is upon obtaining detailed measurements upon the body composition of a given person.

Kinanthropometry is the interface between anatomy and movement. It is the application of a series of measurements made on the body and from these we can use the data that we gather directly or perform calculations using the data to produce various indices and body composition predictions and to measure and describe physique.
