Abstract: The anthropometric assessment of a person or population is used by professionals from different areas (health, sports, education, ergonomics, engineering), and the quality of the measures obtained by them determines the success of their interventions. This point of view aims to underline the importance of training these professionals through The International Anthropometry Accreditation Scheme (IAAS) implemented by The International Society for the Advancement of Kinanthropometry (ISAK), which aims to create a… Show more

“…Anthropometric parameters such as height, body weight, waist circumference (WC) and hip circumference (HC) were measured as per the standard procedure. [ 21 ] Body mass index (BMI), waist-to-height ratio (WHtR) and waist-hip ratio (WHR) was calculated using the formula, BMI = weight (kg)/height (m 2 ), WHtR = WC (cm)/height (cm), WHR = WC (cm)/HC (cm).…”

“…Body weight (kg) was measured without shoes and with as less clothes as possible. Height (m) was assessed on inspiration adjusting the head in a horizontal plane or Frankfort [27]. For each measurement, a digital weighing machine with stadiometer (SECA mod 206) was used.…”

“…The body fat percentage was obtained by the equation of Durnin & Womersley [30]. Skinfolds, were measured by a plicometer (Lange Skinfold Caliper ® , Beta Technology, Santa Cruz, CA, USA), used by a trained researcher who followed the standardized protocols of the International Society for the Advancement of Kineanthropometry [27].…”

“…Os desfechos primários foram os resultados antropométricos, avaliados de acordo com a padronização da International Society for the Advancement of Kinanthropometry (ISAK) (daSilva & Vieira, 2020). Tanto na avaliação inicial (antes das intervenções terapêuticas) quanto na final (após oito semanas de tratamento) foram mensurados perímetros corporais, diâmetros ósseos e pregas cutâneas.A estatura foi determinada em estadiômetro científico (CESCORF Equipamentos, Porto Alegre, RS, Brasil) fixado na parede, com precisão de 0,1 cm.…”
