ISAK certifications ensure that professionals are trained in standardized and accurate measurement techniques. This consistency is crucial in obtaining reliable data, especially in fields such as sports science, nutrition, and health assessment.
Having an ISAK certification enhances professional credibility and is recognized internationally. It signals to employers, clients, and colleagues that the individual has undergone rigorous training and is proficient in anthropometric measurement practices.
ISAK-certified practitioners are equipped with the knowledge and skills to collect precise body composition data. This information can be used for evidence-based decision-making in areas such as sports training, nutrition planning, and health assessments.
Professionals with ISAK certification contribute to maintaining high standards in research and practice. This is particularly important in academic and applied settings, ensuring that data collected and analyzed adheres to recognized scientific standards.
ISAK certification can open up new career opportunities and professional advancement, especially in fields related to sports science, exercise physiology, nutrition, and health assessment. Employers often value certifications that demonstrate a commitment to ongoing education and expertise in specialized areas.
For more than four decades, the International Society for the Advancement of Kinanthropometry (ISAK) has been the global authority for measuring human body composition using kinanthropometry.
ISAK, or the International Society for the Advancement of Kinanthropometry, is like a global club of experts and friends interested in understanding how our bodies are shaped and how they move. They work together to set rules and standards for measuring body composition, considering things like lifestyle, nutrition, and the diversity of people around the world. It's kind of like having a team of health detectives who ensure that when we measure our bodies, we get accurate and reliable results. Their goal is to make sure we have the best tools and methods to understand our bodies in different settings.
ISAK Certification courses are designed for Sports Scientists, Nutritionists and other Health & Fitness experts that seek to provide their clients/students/patients with precise, accurate and valid body measurement data. As an ISAK Certified Anthropometrist you will join an elite group of professionals with the skills and knowledge to assess your client’s physique using a comprehensive series of bone lengths, breadths, skinfolds and girth measurements. These measurements can be applied to a wide range of needs such as monitoring growth & development, identification of talented athletes, assessing health status, and evaluating exercise and nutrition interventions to changes in body size, shape and composition.
All students should possess or currently be completing a University degree or accredited certification in a relevant field. For ISAK Level 2, successful completion of Level 1 course is required.
ISAK Level 1 is an introductory course in Anthropometry and Anthropometric technique. It includes both theoretical and practical components. Theory components include topics such as anatomy, body composition and somatotyping. Practical application includes measurement of a restricted profile, which includes a total of 21 measurements (4 base measurements, 6 girths, 8 skinfolds and 3 bone breadths).
ISAK Level 2 is for professionals that need more advanced and detailed anthropometric data than what the ISAK Level 1 course offers. This course includes more in-depth theory components such as proportionality, 5-way fractionation procedures of body composition, and calculating muscle-to-bone ratio for determining maximal FFM potential of athletes. Students will learn ISAK’s Full Profile, which includes a total of 42 measurements (4 base measurements, 13 girths, 8 skinfolds, 8 bone lengths and 9 bone breadths) within a more strict error tolerance than the ISAK Level 1.
