Document Summary

Anthropometry (procedure): measure all the anthropometric variables listed in the comprehensive anthropometric data form (table. For the various measurements described below, it is recommended that students work in groups of three subject, measurer, and data recorder. All landmarks must be identified and marked before measurements are taken. Measure each variable three times and use the median value for future calculations. For skinfold measurements, the duplicate measurements should not vary by more than 10%. For bone diameter measurements, the duplicate measurements should not vary by more than 0. 1 cm. for muscle girth measurements the duplicate measurements should not vary by more than 0. 5 cm. Before measurement commences mark the following anthropometric landmarks on the skin of the subject: Acromiale: on shoulder horizontal line marked with the most superior and lateral point of the external border of the acromion process of the scapula. Radiale: on elbow horizontal line marked with the proximal lateral border of the radius.
