Body Height and its Estimation Utilizing Arm Span Measurements in Male and Female Adolescents from Danilovgrad and Cetinje
Journal Title: Journal of Anthropology of Sport and Physical Education - Year 2018, Vol 2, Issue 3
Abstract
The goal of this study was to examine the bodi height of male and female from the Danilovgrad and Cetinje, as well as the ratio of body height and arm span as an alternative assessment of body height. A total of 244 individuals (125 male and 119 female) participated in this research. Anthropometric measurements were taken on the basis of the International Community for the Advancement of Kinantropometry (ISAK). Methods and standard deviations in anthropometric measurements were used. The T-test has verified the differences in the arithmetic mean of anthropometric variables in relation to half of the subjects. The correlation between the body height and the arm’s length was analyzed with a confidence of 95%. By linear regression analysis, the prediction of the arm’s range on the criterion variable is the body height at the new value of p <0.05. These relationships are shown as a scatter diagram. The results showed that male are 182.49±6.81 cm high and have a range of arms of 183.60±8.27 cm, female are 168.14±6.30 in height and have a arm span of 167.07±7.36 cm. Compared with other studies, the results of this study have shown that men and women from the Danilovgrad and Cetinje belong to a high population, higher than most of the nations in Europe. On the other hand, as expected, it has been shown that in this male and female it is possible to predict reliably the body height using a arm span However, the estimation equations obtained for men and women from the Danilovgrad and Cetinje differ from the general population, since the arm span was closer to the height of the body (1.11±1.46 cm) and (1.07±1.06 cm) than in the general population. That confirmans the need of development of special height models of montenegrin population, for everu region in Montenegro.
