Methodological Aspects of Body Constitution Evaluation – an Analysis of Anthropometric Methodology
نویسندگان
چکیده
The concept of body constitution first appeared in Matiegka (1921), who suggested quantification of body components on the basis of body’s external dimensions. Since Matiegka, a whole range of other methods for body constitution assessment based on anthropometrical dimensions has been developed. Fat is the main factor of inter-intraindividual variability of the body’s constitution during an entire ontogenesis. The estimation of fat content based on calliperation draws on two basic assumptions: 1. Thickness of the hypodermic fat tissue is in constant ratio to the total fat volume. 2. The places chosen for the measurement of dermal thickness represent the average thickness of the hypodermic fat layer.
