Abstract:
This study investigated some potential sources of error, and their consequences, across different types of anthropometric measurement methods. The measurement methods included use of traditional anthropometric instruments, as well as two versions of an electromechanical approach that recorded three-dimensional locations of body parts. Several errors were hypothesized to be from aspects related to human information processing and their interaction with differing methods. Measurements obtained with the traditional approach and two versions of the electromechanical approach were then compared for two experienced anthropometrists who each took 72 measurements on a cadaveric forearm while it was clothed and unclothed. ANOVA demonstrated that there were differences in measurement consistency between individuals, measurement methods and clothing conditions. This study was an initial attempt to investigate the potential sources of error within anthropometric measurements via focusing on the information presented to the measurer and the application of this information to the consistency of measurement. The findings provide information about the causes of error and the saviors of consistency.

Abstract:
To investigate the role of body shape information on clothing size selection, a sample of 143 males were measured and sized using a computerized digital-image based measurement system. Clothing sizes were initially determined by the system using traditional criteria for the long sleeve shirt, jacket and trousers of a military dress uniform. The best-fitting size was determined by trial and error based on subjective feedback and expert judgement, provided by clothing and sizing technicians. Discriminant function analysis was used to determine sizing rules for each garment, based on different sets of anthropometric input variables. Comparisons were made between the prediction performances of discriminant functions derived from traditional variables and those of functions derived from 3D landmark coordinates. The results indicate that the use of three-dimensional landmark coordinates, as input to a discriminant function analysis, is superior to the use of circumference measurements in predicting clothing sizes. The use of these landmarks is thought to improve the classification of cases by allowing a better characterization of body shape.

Abstract:
The aim of this study was to determine differences in body proportions and measurements of basketball players and an untrained group of the general population, as well as the impact of physical differences on garment fit through the Croatian sizing system for labeling men's clothing based on the European standard EN 13402. It was hypothesized that clothes made according to the system for labeling men's clothing are not appropriate for the population of basketball players. Differences in morphological properties of the basketball players, as a result of many years of active sport playing, were found both by conventional anthropometric measurement method and three-dimensional (3D) body scanning. Anthropometric measurements were taken for the needs of the clothing industry according to ISO 3635, ISO 8559 and ISO 20685. The study was conducted on a sample of 189 male test subjects, aged between 15 and 25 years, who are professional basketball players and sample of a 189 test subjects for the untrained group of the general population of the same age. Statistical data results included factor and discriminate analysis. Differences in the body measurements of basketball players and the untrained group of the general population were analyzed through an independent samples t-test. Considering that differences in the upper body part have a large impact on garment fit, compared to the average body measurements, that is, the existing clothing sizing system, a proposal for the amendment of the sizing system for basketball players, with average body measurements by size, was made. In addition, for the purposes of the study, 20 anthropometric variables related to the upper body part and required for the clothing construction were analyzed. In order to test the garment fit, two men's shirt prototypes of the same garment size, one based on the existing sizing systems and one based on the proposed amendment for basketball players, were developed using a two-dimensional/3D computer-aided design system. Computer simulations performed on the average basketball player body model showed the unsuitable fit of a men's shirt constructed according to the existing sizing system and the satisfying fit of a men's shirt constructed according to measurements of the proposed amendment for basketball players, confirming the possible application of the conducted research results and the proposed sizing amendment.

Abstract:
Since the early beginning of the development of the 3-D digital human and ergonomics tool RAMSIS in 1988, appropriate measurement systems had been developed simultaneously. New integrated approaches and methods for human body measurement have been investigated and developed. TECMATH has developed the VITUS Pro and VITUS Smart 3-D Full Body Laser Scanner family for high precision, and adapted a 2-D video camera-based system that is simple to use and inexpensive. In the past three years, novel applications for mass customization have been developed specifically for the clothing industry. More than 120 systems (3-D and 2-D) have been installed in research environments, clothing shops, army facilities and automobile manufacturers in the past two years. These organizations require measurement systems, methods, and analysis techniques that ensure reliable and precise information about human body dimensions.

Abstract:
The use of 3D scanning systems for the capture and measurement of human body dimensions is becoming commonplace. While the ability of available scanning systems to record the surface anatomy of the human body is generally regarded as acceptable for most applications, effective use of the images to obtain anthropometric data requires specially developed data extraction software. However, for large data sets, extraction of useful information can be quite time consuming. A major benefit therefore is to possess an automated software program that quickly facilitates the extraction of reliable anthropometric data from 3D scanned images. In this paper the accuracy and variability of two fully automated data extraction systems (Cyberware WB-4 scanner with Natick-Scan software and Hamamatsu BL Scanner with accompanying software) are examined and compared with measurements obtained from traditional anthropometry. In order to remove many confounding variables that living humans introduce during the scanning process, a set of clothing dressforms was chosen as the focus of study. An analysis of the measurement data generally indicates that automated data extraction compares favorably with standard anthropometry for some measurements but requires additional refinement for others.

Abstract:
According to recent trends, smart clothing products that can receive electromyography (EMG) signals during the wearer’s muscle activity are being developed and commercialized. On the other hand, there is a lack of knowledge on the way to specify the electrode locations on the clothing pattern. Accurately located EMG electrodes in the clothing support the reliability and usefulness of the products. Moreover, a systematic process to construct anatomically validated smart clothing digitally should be performed to facilitate the application of a mass-customized manufacturing system. The current study explored the EMG measurement locations of nine muscles and analyzed them in association with various anthropometric points and even postures based on the 3D body scan data. The results suggest that several line segments of the patterns can be substituted by size-dependent equations for the electrodes in place. As a final step, a customized pattern of a smart EMG suit was developed virtually. The current study proposes a methodology to develop body-size dependent equations and patterns of a smart EMG suit with well-located electrodes using 3D scan data. These results suggest ways to produce smart EMG suits in response to impending automation and mass customization of the clothing manufacturing system.

AbstractObjectiveTo simplify body weight measurement and, particularly, to encourage children and their parents to participate in the Italian nutritional surveillance system OKkio alla SALUTE, children were measured with clothes and then the weight was corrected for the estimated weight of the clothes. In the present study we compared the children's weight measured in underwear, as recommended by the WHO (WWHO), with that obtained using the OKkio alla SALUTE protocol (WOK) and investigated how the latter affects the calculation of BMI and the assessment of overweight and obesity prevalence.DesignWeight (twice in close sequence, with and without clothing) and height were measured. A checklist was used to describe the type of clothing worn. The estimated weight of clothing was subtracted from the WOK. BMI was calculated considering both values of weight and height; ponderal status was defined using both the International Obesity Task Force and WHO BMI cut-offs.SettingThirty-seven third grade classes of thirteen primary schools in Rome and in two towns in the Lazio Region were recruited.SubjectsThe anthropometric measurements were taken on 524 children aged 8–9 years.ResultsThe error in the calculation of BMI from WOK was very low, 0·005 kg/m2 (95 % CI −0·185, 0·195 kg/m2); the agreement between the percentages of overweight (not including obesity) and obese children calculated with the two methods was very close to 1 (κ = 0·98).ConclusionsThe error in BMI and in nutritional classification can be considered minor in a surveillance system for monitoring overweight/obesity, but eases the procedure for measuring children.

Abstract:
The aim of this study is to investigate the local body measurement changes in movements during Alpine skiing and to calculate these changes in "percentages" in order to use in garment pattern preparing process to achieve the best clothing comfort characteristics in alpine skiing suits. For that purpose, an anthropometric measurement study was conducted, which involved measuring 31 male volunteer’s body sizes in static and dynamic postures. Within this context, the sizes to be measured were identified as static and dynamic by specifying the anthropometric landmarks on the body using ISAK (The International Society for the Advancement of Kinanthropometry) practices as the base. It was found that percentage changes in the anterior knee length, anterior leg length, hip length, elbow length and posterior arm length were 43%, 2%, 35%, 40% and 9%, respectively, from the measurements collected from 31 male recreational Alpine skiers. Afterwards, regarding to the obtained data, the three body dimensions such as inseam, back waist rise and sleeve length were re-calculated to use in the preparing of pattern for tight-fitting garments. Ultimately, a base layer thermal bottom’s garment patterns were developed and evaluated using a 3D virtual try-on system. Consequently, it was found that the inseam length and sleeve length should be reduced while the back waist rise needs extra ease allowance. With respect to the virtual fitting, the developed pattern was more fit than the original pattern and had more ability to adapt dynamic postures.

Abstract:
Purpose The purpose of this paper is to use body shape analysis and develop a 3D virtual body formation and deformation model that can accurately express size and shape. Design/methodology/approach In this paper, 1,882 sets of direct measurement data of Korean women in their 20s (19–29 years) were analyzed. These data sets were sourced from the sixth and seventh “Size Korea” anthropometric survey data. Through body shape analysis, the authors classified them into seven body types and selected their representative bodies. A 2D image based on the height, breadth, depth and length was first formed, and the representative virtual body was modeled using the polygon technique. The authors calculated the grading ratios for each body type according to the clothing sizing system, and modified the virtual body size type by morphing technique. Findings In order to accurately evaluate the fit in a virtual fitting system, it is necessary to study the body size and shape of the target age; this makes it possible to form virtual body reflecting the size and shape. Originality/value In this paper, the authors propose a new 3D virtual body formation method that is more accurate in shape and size compared to the present system. Through this, it will be possible to grasp the accurate simulation state in the virtual fitting system, and thereby evaluate the accurate fit.

Abstract:
De acordo com os dados do Instituto Brasileiro de Geografia e Estatística (IBGE, 2010), o Brasil anuncia que o país caminha rumo a um perfil demográfico cada vez mais envelhecido, partir de 2039, será registrado o chamado crescimento zero; em 2050, o quadro muda: para cada 100 crianças de 0 a 14 anos, existirão 172,7 idosos. Inúmeros são os desafios enfrentados pelas pessoas idosas, principalmente para as mulheres que hoje representam 56% da população idosa. Um desses desafios é a transformação do corpo, e ao lado da falta de produtos do vestuário com medidas adequadas, que, além de vestir o corpo, apresente um caimento perfeito que atenda à necessidade física de uso. Esta pesquisa teve como objetivo propor os procedimentos, empregando dados antropométricos obtidos com o equipamento Body Scanner para elaborar tabelas de medidas, visando estabelecer padrões para serem aplicados na confecção de modelagem destinada a mulheres idosas. As medidas utilizadas neste trabalho fazem parte do Estudo Antropométrico no Brasil e foram cedidas pelo Serviço Nacional de Aprendizagem Industrial/Centro de Tecnologia da Indústria Química Têxtil (SENAI/CETIQT). Através dos estudos, foi possível classificar os corpos em vários tipos: retângulo com cintura grossa e fina, triângulo com cintura fina e grossa e triângulo invertido com cintura grossa e propor tabelas de medidas. Os resultados obtidos indicaram a viabilidade de aplicação da metodologia proposta para elaboração das tabelas de medidas
According to data from the Brazilian Institute of Geography and Statistics (IBGE, 2010), Brazil announced that the country moves towards an increasingly aging demographic profile since 2039, will be recorded the named \"zero growth\"; in 2050, the picture changes: for every 100 children 0-14 years there will be 172.7 older. Many are the challenges faced by older people, especially for women who now represent 56% of the elderly population. One such challenge is the transformation of the body, and with a shortage of garment products with appropriate measures, that in addition to dressing the body presents a perfect fit that meets the physical need to use. This research aims to propose procedure, using anthropometric data obtained with the equipment Body Scanner to prepare tables of measures, to establish standards to be applied in making modeling aimed at older women.

Abstract:
The BOD POD (BP) is a device used for determining body composition that is based on the air displacement plethysmography method. There has been little research conducted on the BP, and the main focus of the research has been on the reliability and validity of the BP. Another important area of research with the BP is the effect that different types of clothing have on the percent fat readings from the BP. To produce the most accurate results, the manufacturers recommend that subjects wear a Lycra swimsuit, however this recommendation may not be feasible for some individuals or testing sites to follow. The purpose of this study was to determine if a standard type of clothing would affect the percent fat readings from the BP in a consistent manner. Fifty subjects (25 men, 25 women) of varying ages (19 to 84 years of age) and body composition (3.4 to 53.2% fat) completed six trials (3 cotton and 3 nylon) in the BP during one testing session. With the exception of the clothing, all other recommendations by the manufacturer were followed. The comparison between the two clothing conditions was analyzed with a 2-way ANOVA (gender x clothing), frequency distribution, and the Bland-Altman method. The reliability of the measurements was analyzed by comparing the absolute differences between the three trials with cotton clothing and the three trials with nylon clothing, with intra-class correlation coefficients, and the Bland-Altman method. The results from the 2-way ANOVA revealed that the interaction effect of gender and amount of clothing was significant with the difference between nylon versus cotton being 1.1% for men and 4.8% for women. There was also a significant difference between body fat measurements with the cotton clothing (24.2 + 11.2%) and the nylon clothing (27.1 + 11.6%) when analyzed with all the subjects combined (men and women). Reliability analysis resulted in intra-class correlation coefficients of 0.9 and 0.95 within the cotton and nylon clothing trials, respectively. The comparison of the absolute differences between the cotton trials and the nylon trials showed a between-trial standard deviation of approximately 0.6 for cotton and 0.7 for nylon. In the comparison of nylon to cotton clothing results, there was a greater difference between the results for the women than for the men. The men had a lower, similar difference when comparing the two clothing conditions, whereas the women had a higher, difference that was not similar between subjects. In conclusion, this study showed that using either cotton or nylon shorts for men is acceptable, whereas for women more testing is needed to find another type of clothing to replace the Lycra swimsuit that results in consistent percent fat measurements. Also, the reliability of the percent fat readings obtained with both clothing conditions was very good.
