Anthropometry and Its Significance in Safer Agricultural Activities- A Review Article
Journal Title: International Journal of engineering Research and Applications - Year 2018, Vol 8, Issue 12
Abstract
Ever since from the ancient civilization, the human body dimensions have been measured and used for numerous reasons and applications. Creation of figurative arts, criminology, medical science, industrial situations, product design, automotive and in many more sectors these physical body dimensions are reported in numerous literatures and were summarized in brief in this paper. Implementation of these anthropometric data in different farming/agricultural situations is reviewed in the present article. Agricultural sector is considered to be one of the most hazardous working places in the world today. The current paper mainly focuses on the applications of human factors, physical body dimensions in the regular agricultural practices in the developing and under developed countries and its impact on farmer comfort, ease of farming operations and improvement in agricultural productivity in terms of quality and quantity. The utilization of these body dimensions in various agricultural activities and thus, improving the operating comfort are enlisted, which further can be used in the design of farm tools, implements and equipments.
