What is Anthropometry?

Written by


Derrick Ong, Bachelor of Nutrition and Dietetics (Honours)





Founder, Eat Right Nutrition Consultancy
International Society for the Advancement of Kinanthropometry (ISAK) Level 1 Anthropometrist
Anthropometry is the study of the size, proportions and composition of the human body. It has a wide range of uses in both clinical and normal day to day settings  - from tracking the growth of children and infants to measuring changes in fat and muscle mass in athletes to monitoring the nutritional status of the elderly population.

Manufacturers of furniture and car seats use large scale anthropometric studies of populations to decide on the size and proportion of their products to best suit individuals. It is inexpensive and relatively non-invasive, and uses portable instruments like measuring tape, skinfold calipers and weighing scales. In order to be a qualified anthropometrist, one needs to attend certification courses conducted by the International Society of Anthropometry and Kinanthropomety (ISAK) and to maintain proficiency through constant practice on different body types. Whether you are looking to gain or lose weight, or simply to tone up, anthropometry is the most accurate and reliable means for measuring your progress and results.

To find out more about Anthropometry, and our soon to be re-launched Kickboxing Bootcamp Program, feel free to contact:

Active Kickboxing Classes - Sign up for your COMPLIMENTARY INTRO CLASS TODAY!

Hello everyone
We read an interesting article in the Sunday Plus on the gaining popularity of Martial Arts Schools and Classes. Though only the bigger schools were featured, I believed that there are many other smaller outfits offering the various forms mentioned.
We at Active Red offer the American variant of Kickboxing - both in competitive as well as purely fitness-based class.
As was mentioned in the article, some of us prefer the development benefits of the sports/form rather than the competitive aspect of it.


To find out more or simply to come in for our Complimentary Kickboxing Intro class, just contact us at.
