ISAK Accreditation Course in Anthropometry

Level 1

In our next course, dedicated to Kinesianthropometrics, we will explore the fascinating world of measuring human body composition. Kinesianthropometry is a crucial area of science that analyzes changes in body dimensions caused by a wide variety of factors, such as lifestyle, nutrition, activity levels, and ethnic composition of populations. The rigor of the measurements and the importance of the measurements, are determinants of professionalism and absolutely impact the effectiveness of the professional practice.
The International Society for the Advancement of Kinathropometry (ISAK) was created to promote this area and develop international standards for anthropometric assessment. The course will be taught by two SAK certified instructors (level III), ensuring high quality training aligned with international standards for anthropometric assessment.
This course, is particularly oriented towards professionals in nutrition and food sciences and life and health sciences in general. The purpose is to equip you with the knowledge and tools to take your understanding of Kinesianthropometrics to the next level. Join us for a methodologically rigorous and enriching learning experience that will broaden your professional horizons and quality of service.
Welcome to Academia Clínica Espregueira!

OBJECTIVES

  Explain and discuss assumptions of kinanthropometry, as well as, its importance and limitations in body composition assessment;
  Evaluate and interpret the results obtained in the anthropometric evaluation;
  Recognize the importance of using an international standardized protocol and the technical error of intra-observer measurement;
  Develop motor skills for measuring the 21 indicators (skin folds, circumferences, diameters, and basic measurements).
