Abstract

This study investigates anthropometric and kinetic characteristics of Korean adults. Dimensions, immersion method for volumes and reaction board method for centers of masses are directly measured.The anthropometric characteristics of eighteen body segments on a sample of 1199 male subjects and 937 female subjects whose ages range between 20 and 39 in , are used to estimate segment lengths as a fraction of body height. Thirty-one male subjects and 29 female subjects in their twenties and thirties are served for anthropometric and kinetic measurements of body segments according to Rohrer index.Obtained data are compared with cadaver data in , and . Also, to observe anthropometric and kinetic trends of Korean adults, results are compared with the results in and .Relevance to industryObtained anthropometric and kinetic data can be applied to areas such as workspace design, statistical guidelines for product design, human movement analysis, human manikin development, vehicle seats and furniture design.
