People have a confusion over Anthropometry and Kinanthropometry. Some people confused with Kinanthropometry and Sports Anthropometry. This slide is prepared to clear all those confusions people have.

Kinathropometry -
The Interaction between Human
structure and Function

2. Anthropometry
is the science which deals
with the measurement
of the size, weight,
and proportions of the
human body
‘Anthropometry’
What is Anthropometry ?

3. Anthropometry
Living Non-
Living

4. Non-Living
Craniometry Osteometry
Skeleton measurement
Skull and mandible
measurement

5. Somatometry a division of
anthropometry which can be
defined as a
systematic technique to
measure living body .
Somatometry

7. Factors which
influence
movements
Body Composition,
Body Measurements,
Components of Body
Build & Body Shape,
Maturation ,
Motor Abilities,
Physiological
capacities
Physical Activities
Structure
Function

8. Kinanthropometry is the quantitative
interaction between Human structure and
Function
.
“Kinanthropometry is a scientific discipline
that studies the body size, the proportionality,
the performance of movement, the body
composition and principal function of the body”
by W.D. Ross , Drinkwater D.T., Bailey D.A., Marshall G.W. and
Leahy R.M. ( 1980)

9. Hence,
Kinanthropometry can be defined
as the study of human size, shape,
proportion, composition,
maturation, and gross function,
in order to understand
growth, exercise, performance,
and nutrition

10. KINANTHROPOMETRY
is a scientific specialisation
closely allied with
• Physical education
• Sports Science and Medicine
• Auxology (Science of Growth)
• Paediatrics
• Human Biology
• Physical Anthropology
• Gerontology
• Ergonomics

11. Kinanthropometry
is the Applied form of
Orthodox Somatometry

12. ISAK is the only organization across
the world for Accreditation in
Kinanthropometry
The International Society for the Advancement of
Kinanthropometry (ISAK) is available at
www.isak.global
