Anthropometrica: A Textbook of Body Measurement for Sports and Health CoursesKevin Norton, Tim Olds A core textbook for sports science and human movement courses. Describes measurement techniques, and covers the interpretation and analysis of data and the applications of anthropometry in ergonomics, psychology, nutrition, physiology, exercise, and sports. Also outlines the Australian model of accreditation in anthropometry. A disk is available with software for simulations and tests against a large Australian anthropometric database.
