Our Commitment to Excellence

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 Level 1

Course Description

Course Description

Course Description

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).

Objectives

Course Description

Course Description

  • Demonstrate proper manipulation, calibration and maintenance of various anthropometry equipment
  • Demonstrate adequate technical precision in measuring 4 base measurements, 8 skinfolds, 6 girths and 3 bone breadths
  • Compute technical error of measurement (TEM) of anthropometric data  to verify your precision and accuracy at an introductory level.
  • Calculate Somatotype and describe its applications to health and sport profiling
  • Describe the utility, limitations and assumptions of assessing percent body fat using the two component model
  • Describe how to integrate a Physique Assessment System (restricted profile) in various sports settings

ISAK Level 2

Course Description

Course Description

Course Description

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.

Objectives

Course Description

Course Description

  • Demonstrate proper manipulation, calibration and maintenance of all anthropometry equipment
  • Demonstrate adequate technical precision in measuring 4 base  measurements, 8 skinfolds, 13 girths 9 bone length/heights and 9 bone  breadths
  • Compute technical error of measurement (TEM) of anthropometric data  to verify your precision and accuracy is within research standards
  • Apply the principals of geometric similarity to scale anthropometric  data and compare the dimensional and functional characteristics of  athletes of different sizes
  • Calculate Somatotype, describe its applications to health &  sport profiling and how to apply somatotype statistics and the three  dimensional nature of the somatochart
  • Describe limitations, assumptions and errors associated with various  body composition assessment methodologies and differentiate anatomical  versus chemical models.
  • Describe how to integrate a Physique Assessment System in various sports settings using the Full Profile

SPORTS ANTHROPOMETRY: ISAK ACCREDITATION COURSES

Course Overview

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.
