    CHAPTER THREE - Method

    Uploaded by

    Ahmed Elabdly
    This chapter describes the method used to analyze anthropometric data from two previous studies. The data includes measurements from 1300 students aged 7-12 years old. Nineteen body dimensions were recorded for each student. Descriptive statistics and percentiles will be used to summarize the data. Additional analysis will include normality testing, comparing mean measurements between boys and girls using t-tests, and investigating relationships among dimensions using correlation and regression.

    CHAPTER THREE

    METHOD

    3.1 Introduction
    The purpose of this study is to put together, summarize and analyze the
    anthropometric data collected and presented in two previous graduation projects [2]
    [3].
    The data will be summarized using descriptive statistics and percentiles. The analysis
    will include the following:-
     The use of the Kolmogorov-Smirnov (KS) test to check for normality.
     The use of the t-test to test the difference between mean measurements of girls
    and boys for each anthropometric dimension.
     Using Pearson correlation to investigate for relationships among the
    anthropometric dimensions.
     Performing regression analysis and developing regression models for selected
    anthropometric dimensions.

    Anthropometric Data 3.2


    The data collection was taken from previous graduating projects, First project of the
    First to the third Grades, The samples included 600 students (300 boys and 300 girls;
    aged between 7 and 9 years). [2]
    Second project of the First to the third Grades, The samples included 700 students
    (301 boys and 399 girls; aged between 8 to 12 years). [3]

    3.3 Anthropometric Measurements


    Nineteen anthropometric dimensions (including body weight) were measured for each
    student. These dimensions are defined in Table 3.2 and Table 3.3 shown in Fig 3.1
    Table 3.2 Definitions of the anthropometric measurements.

    No Anthropometric Dimension Definition

    1 Weight Body weight

    2 Body height (stature) Vertical distance from the floor to the vertex (i.e. the crown
    of the head).

    3 Eye height standing Vertical distance from the standing surface to the inner can
    thus of the eye.

    4 Shoulder height standing Vertical distance from the standing surface to the shoulder.

    5 Elbow height standing Vertical distance from the standing surface to the underside
    of the elbow.

    6 Forearm length Distance between acromion and tip of the middle finger.

    7 Sitting height (erect) Vertical distance from a horizontal sitting surface to the
    highest point of the head (vertex).

    8 Eye height sitting Vertical distance from a horizontal sitting surface to the
    outer corner of the eye.

    9 Shoulder height sitting Vertical distance from a horizontal sitting surface to the
    acromion.

    10 Elbow height sitting Vertical distance from a horizontal sitting surface to the
    lowest bony point of the elbow bent at a right angle with the
    forearm horizontal.

    11 Upper Aram Setting The vertical distance of the arm length to below the elbow.
