Anthropometry

Anthropometry is an application for assessing the physical development of the human body individually or in a fitness club.

Using this application is very simple to calculate following indicators:

• body mass index (BMI),

• body mass composition,

• fat mass,

• muscle mass,

• skeleton mass,

• lean body mass (LBM),

• Pignet Index (or Body Build Index) indicates how weight and chest circumference correspond to stature.

• Erismann Index -- index of chest proportionality correspond to stature.

• Waist-hip ratio.

First, you need to enter the source data:

• sex

• age

• weight

• height

• 12 circumferences (use a measuring tape)

• 8 skinfolds (use a skinfold caliper).

Features:

• It is not necessary to enter all the data. The application will calculate only those indicators that are possible based on the entered data.

• You do not have to enter all of the skinfold values. Zero values will be ignored in the calculation.

• The fat, muscle, and skeleton mass are calculated according to Matiegka's formulas (DOI:10.1002/AJPA.1330040302).
