ISAK Level 1

6th March - 8th March

 

Content

Whilst enrolled upon the anthropometry course you will experience both practical and theoretical learning. Theoretical components of the course include topics such as anatomy, body composition, and somatotype.

 

Practical application includes the measurement of a Restricted Profile (height, mass, eight skinfolds, five girths, two breadths) adhering to the standard required by ISAK. You will study how measures enable the monitoring of health and growth variables, and calculation of somatotype.

 

Assessment

Assessment of the course is via the following methods.

 

A demonstration of accurate precision in the assessment of a Restricted Profile. The demonstration will be assessed on intra-tester reliability (how repeatable your own measurements are) and inter-tester reliability (how accurate you are compared with criterion measures).

You will also make a submission of 20 profiles within a four month period.
