Measurement of the height and other dimensions of human beings, especially at different ages, or in different races, occupations, etc.
The measurement of the bodily characters of human beings.
defining the physical measurements of a person's size and form. This information is used to design equipment and workplaces to accommodate the majority of users by designing for the extreme individuals (smallest, 5th percentile or largest, 95 percentile) or for an adjustable range. adj. - anthropometric
The technology of measuring human physical traits such as size, reach, mobility, and strength.
The attempt to derive character traits by measuring the human body. Anthropometrical approaches to crimininality include Lombroso's measurement of atavistic stigmata, and Sheldon's measurement of general physique, or " somatotype."
Science that deals with the size, mass, and shape of the human body and its components.
The study and measurement of the dimensions of the body and other physical characteristics.
measurement and study of the human body and its parts and capacities
The study of the physical dimensions of people, including sizes, breadth, girth, distance between anatomical points, and joint range of motion.
The study of physical dimensions in people, including the measurement of human body characteristics such as size, breadth, girth, and distance between anatomical points. Anthropometry also includes segment masses, the centers of gravity of body segments, and the ranges of joint motion, which are used in biomechanical analyses of work postures.
The science dealing with the measurement (size, weight, proportions) of the human body.
The study of human body measurement for use in anthropological classification and comparison.
Of, or relating to, the study of human body measurements, especially on a comparative basis.
The study of human body sizes and proportions.
The branch of ergonomics which is statistically based and deals with the physical dimensions, proportions and composition of the human body.
The field that involves the measurement of the dimensions and other physical characteristics of people and the application of this information to the design of things they use
use of body firths and diameters to evaluate body composition.
the science of studying human body dimensions. It is used to design ergonomic standards, assembly procedures and workstations. The goal of anthropometry is to minimize design incompatibility and maximize human performance.
Science dealing with studying measurements of the human body to determine differences in individuals or groups; used to determine the proper sizing and proportions of objects to be used by people.
Anthropometry (Greek ανθÏωπος, man, and μετÏον, measure, literally meaning "measurement of humans"), in physical anthropology, refers to the measurement of living human individuals for the purposes of understanding human physical variation. 2x/2y=1 Today, anthropometry plays an important role in industrial design, clothing design, ergonomics, and architecture, where statistical data about the distribution of body dimensions in the population are used to optimize products. Changes in life styles, nutrition and ethnic composition of populations lead to changes in the distribution of body dimensions (e.g., the obesity epidemic), and require regular updating of anthropometric data collections.
