Anthropometry Fundamentals

Our purpose is to present a visual guide for anthropometric techniques from the practitioner's perspective.

Digital Learning System

ISAK Standards

• Anthropometry is like playing a fine musical instrument. It is an art. The pattern is engrained.

• ISAK is the final authority for certifying techniques. We cooperate with them fully and make our TeP materials available to them.

• Occasionally, we show techniques not specifiedby ISAK, when we see they may have specific application or potential to advance the discipline.

We copied liberally from the general protocol outlined in chapter 6, Ross WD and Marfell-Jones MJ, KinanthropometryKinanthropometry included in the 2nd edition, 1991, 233-308. We edited these to be consistent with ISAK standards.

We have a mobile polyhedron organizational plan. Creativity is mostly a matter of having different perspectives and making the mental conjunctions. Any one of us may be the leader for some venture. We respect and apprentice ourselves to one another.
