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.

What is Anthropometry ?
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
12. ISAK is the only organization across
the world for Accreditation in
