elongated. As they have a weak constitution of body and usually face difficulties in gaining weight. Their light body constitution makes them suited for aerobic activities like gymnastics

Q2. Discuss the procedure of measurement of arm length and upper arm length.
Ans. The procedure of measurement of 4 arm length –

The subject must stand with his arms hanging by the side of his body with his fingers outstretched. A measurement is made from the acromial i.e. the bony tip of the shoulder to the tip of the little finger.

The procedure of measurement of upper arm length – The subject must stand upright with body
weight distributed equally on both feet. The right arm should be bent at 90 degrees from the elbow with the palm facing upwards. A measurement is made from the acromial to the bony part of the mid-elbow. Measurement must be taken to the nearest 0.1 cm. and recorded. 

Q3. Elaborate on the procedure of measurement of leg length and upper leg length.
Ans.

Leg length: The leg length of a child or adult has measured with j a flexible tape from the bottom to the upper edge of a great trochanter.

Upper leg length: The subject is made to sit on a box with one of the knees bent at a 90-degree angle with his back up straight to measure the upper leg length from the inguinal crease to the proximal border of the patella. Record the measurement to the nearest 0.1 cm.

Q4. Calculate the BMI of a male person whose weight is 80kg and height is 1.6m. Also state the category in which he falls.
Ans.

BMI = Weight in Kg/Height in m2

BMI = 80/1.6×1.6

       = 80×100/16×16
The above person falls in the class -1 Category.

Q6. Explain in brief the procedure or Anthropometric measurement of weight.
Ans. The scale should be placed on a hard floor surface so that the beam gets into a balanced position.
Procedure for weight measurement –

• The subject must wear light clothes.
• He should stand in the center of the platform of the weighing machine with his body weight equally distributed on both feet.
• Read the measurement in front of the needle and record it to the nearest 0.1 kg.

Q7. Explain in brief the procedure of Anthropometric measurement of height.
Ans. The child or adult should remove socks, shoes, jackets, or any other heavy clothing. The floor surface should be plain and hard. The height should be measured using a stadiometer.

Procedure for height measurement –

• The subject should stand with his feet flat and together on the floor. Arms should be by the sides and knees and back should be straight. The back of the head, buttocks, calves, heels, and shoulder blades should touch the measuring surface.
• After that, the horizontal sliding part of the stadiometers lowered gently so that hairs get pressed flat and the subject should be asked to stand still.
• The height of the subject should be read to the nearest half in centimeters and recorded.

Q.3 Explain the procedure for fixing marks for skin fold measurement.
Ans. The marking of skinfold measurements should be proper for taking accurate anthropometric measurements. So, for proper marking of skinfold measurements, the following procedures should be taken into consideration.

1. Triceps skinfold – The child or adult must stand up straight with arms relaxed. With the help
of a measuring tape mark a point with a pen at the center of the triceps. This is the point or mark from where the skinfold measurement should be done with the help of a skinfold caliper.

2. Sub Scapula Skinfold – Find out the exact location of the scapula. The skin fold area is just below the inferior angle of the scapula. Skin fold measurement should be done with the help of skin fold calipers.

3. Suprailiac skinfold – The intersection of a line joining the spinal and front part of the armpit and
A horizontal line at the level of the iliac crest can be marked for skinfold measurement.

4. Abdomen skinfold – The abdomen muscles of the subject must be relaxed. He may be asked
to hold his breath if any movement interferes with the process of measurement. A point should be marked 3cm to the right and 1 cm below the midpoint of the umbilicus.

5. Thigh skinfold – The child or adult whose measurement is to be taken must sit on a chair with his back completely straight. Now mark a point exactly between the knee cap and the inguinal crease on the thigh for skinfold measurement.

Q4. Explain the procedure of skinfold measurement in detail.
Ans. Skinfold measurements are also called “fatfoid thickness”. These measurements provide information or data on the thickness of double folds of the skin and subcutaneous adipose tissue at specific sites of the body. In simple words, a skinfold provides the information about general fatness of the body.
The procedure of skinfold measurements is as under –

1. The arm of the subject or child should be hung loosely. Stand behind the subject and pull the vertical skinfold about 1/2 inch from the spot already marked. Keep the skinfold caliper erpendicular to the length of the fold centering the mark. Record the measurement to the nearest millimeter.

2. Sub scapula skinfold – After locating the marked point on the sub-scapular region, pull a skin
fold for about 34 inches above and keep the skin fold caliper perpendicular to the length of the skinfold. Release the capilar and note the measurement to the nearest millimeter.

3. Suprailiac skinfold – The subject should stand straight with his feet together and arms relaxed.
Pull a skinfold 34 inches above the marked point with the thumb and index finger. The skinfold caliper should be kept perpendicular to the length of the skin fold. Release the caliper and note the reading on the dial to the nearest millimeter and record it.

4. Abdomen skinfold – After locating the already marked point, pull a horizontal skinfold to about 34 inches. Place the skinfold caliper perpendicular to the length of the skinfold. Release the caliper and note the reading the nearest of millimeters and record it.

5. Thigh skinfold – The person is made to stand with his weight on the left leg and right leg forward with the knee slightly bent. Grip a skinfold on the already marked area on the mid-thigh. Place the skinfold caliper and note the reading to the nearest millimeter and record it.
