In team sports, the varied levels of physical demand associated with different field positions are reflected in the morphofunctional features of the players. The aim of this work was to recognize how the playing position in the team depends on the anthropometric profiles and the strength level of professional handball players. Methods: A body mass, stature, lower and upper extremity length, circumferences and skinfolds were measured in the male professional athletes. The body composition was analysed using a bioelectrical impedance method. Additionally, hand grip and back strength were measured. A statistical analysis was carried out using routinely statistic methods and principal component analysis. Results: Pivot players usually have the most athletic figure in terms of size and weight and relatively short legs. The backs are characterized by the android body type and low subcutaneous fat content, and a large mass of body cells. The backs and pivots have the same strength of back and hand grip. Goalkeepers have relatively long upper and lower limbs and high back and hand grip strength. The wingers are usually slender, have medium length limbs, low body fat percentage, significant extracellular mass and the lowest muscle strength. Conclusions: The results of the multivariate analysis were a notable and valuable addition to the study of morphological and strength differences in a group quite homogeneous like a handball team. The principal component analysis allowed for a reduction of the multidimensional structure to three variables describing body massiveness, strength, and the length and height aspect of the body.

Identification of factors that affect postural stability may help to improve diagnostic accuracy and enhance the quality of treatment and rehabilitation. This study sought to assess the relationship between postural stability parameters and anthropometric factors of persons with hearing impairment (HI). Methods: The study included 128 individuals – 42 subjects with HI and 86 without HI (healthy controls). Research methodology included an interview and a medical examination, anthropometric measurements and stabilometric tests on platforms with stable and unstable surfaces. Results: In the group of female study participants with HI, significant correlations were only noted between body height and the Fall Risk Index (FRI). In the group of male subjects with HI, the study revealed significant correlations between FRI and body mass, BMI, % MM (muscle mass percentage) and % FAT (fat percentage). Moreover, moderate correlation was found between COP path with eyes open and body mass, while high correlation was observed between COP path with eyes open and BMI, % MM and % FAT. No significant correlation was noted between FRI and body height in men with HI. Conclusions: The examination of correlations between postural stability and body build of persons with HI did not confirm the effects of body height on postural stability in the examined group of individuals with HI, but revealed a greater influence of somatic parameters (body mass, BMI, % MM, % FAT) on postural stability in hearing-impaired men.

The aim of this study was to examine the differences in body composition, strength and power of lower limbs, height of jump measured for the akimbo counter movement jumps, counter movement jump and spike jumps between deaf and hearing elite female soccer players. Methods: Twenty deaf (age: 23.7 ± 5.0 years, hearing loss: 96 ± 13.9 dB) and 25 hearing (age: 20.3 ± 3.8 years) participated in the study. Their WHR and BMI were calculated. Body fat was measured using the BIA method. The maximal power and height of jump were measured by force plate. Biodex dynamometer was used to evaluate isokinetic isometric strength of the hamstrings and quadriceps. Results: Significant differences between hearing and deaf soccer players in anthropometric values were for the waist and calf circumferences and the WHR index ( p < 0.01, effect size 0.24–0.79). Statistically significant differences were observed for flexion of the lower limb in the knee joint for the relative joint torque and relative power obtained for the angular velocity of 300 degˑs–1 for both lower limbs (p < 0.01, effect size 0.19–0.48) and for 180 degˑs–1 during flexion of the left limb (p = 0.02, effect size 0.13). The hearing female football players developed significantly greater MVC in all the cases. Statistically significant differences between deaf and hearing athletes were found for spike jump for maximal power (1828.6 ± 509.4 W and 2215.2 ± 464.5 W, respectively; p = 0.02, effect size 0.14). Conclusions: Hearing impairment does not limit the opportunities for development of physical fitness in the population of deaf women.

Procedures in the development process of crane cabins are arbitrary and subjective. Since approximately 42% of incidents in the construction industry are linked to them, there is a need to collect fresh anthropometric data and provide additional recommendations for design. In this paper, dimensioning of the crane cabin interior space was carried out using a sample of 64 crane operators’ anthropometric measurements, in the Republic of Serbia, by measuring workspace with 10 parameters using nine measured anthropometric data from each crane operator. This paper applies experiments run via full factorial designs using a combined traditional and Taguchi approach. The experiments indicated which design parameters are influenced by which anthropometric measurements and to what degree. The results are expected to be of use for crane cabin designers and should assist them to design a cabin that may lead to less strenuous sitting postures and fatigue for operators, thus improving safety and accident prevention.

Background. The mismatch between the hand size of workers and the size of industrial instruments is a growing concern; it can lead to various musculoskeletal complications. Currently, there are few reliable studies available to address this concern in Iran. This study was conducted to measure 30 upper-extremity parameters in a group of Iranian industrial workers. Methods. This study is a cross-sectional study on 529 workers. The study population was randomly selected from male Iranian industrial workers who were referred to the Yazd hospital occupational medicine clinic for surveillance evaluations. Results. The M (SD) age of the participants was 30.13 (8.29) years. Statistical analysis was performed using the mean, standard deviation and 5th, 50th and 90th percentiles for each measured hand dimension. A considerable number of dimensions were significantly different between the measurements of right and left hands in each examinee. The results showed significant differences between Iranian hand size and that of other populations. Conclusion. This study provided a valuable databank of hand dimensions in a population of Iranian male workers. These data can be used by manufacturers in designing high-quality hand-tools and industrial gloves, taking into consideration Iranian worker characteristics.

The objective of this research is to evaluate all the critical reaches in a cockpit and determine the visual sufficiency of a cockpit to accommodate 90% of potential pilots. While mismatches of measurements with cockpit dimensions are revealed, proposals are made to improve cockpit ergonomics. Regression models were generated to predict and assure adequate exterior vision. Mean, lower and upper control limits of all measurements were found acceptable except eye level. There are very strong positive relationships between stature and eye level (R2 = 0.972, p < 0.01), and eye level and visual angle (R2 = 0.994, p < 0.01). Display panel height should be at least 1.645 × SD smaller than the eye level mean or seating adjustment limits in height may be changed. In general, cockpit design is acceptable in terms of fit/reach accommodation for pilots, except eye level and visual variables that could be solved by better seat adjustments.

The design and shape of hand tool handles are critical factors for preventing musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs) caused by the use of hand tools. We explored how these factors are related to total force and individual finger force in males and females with various hand anthropometrics. Using the MFFM system, we assessed four indices of anthropometry, and measured total force and individual finger force on various handle designs and shapes. Both total force and individual finger force were significant according to gender and handle shape. Total grip strength to the handle shape indicated the greatest strength with D shape and the least with A shape. From the regression analysis of hand anthropometric indices, the value of R was respectably high at 0.608–0.696. The current study examined the gender and handle shape factors affecting grip strength based on the force measurements from various handle types, in terms of influence on different hand anthropometric indices.

The aim of the present study was to evaluate the biomechanical (stroke rate, stroke length, and stroke index), anthropometrical (body height, body mass, body mass index, arm span, shoulders width, thigh, leg and upper arm lengths), and muscle architectural (muscle thickness, pennation angle, and fascicle length) parameters as predictors of 200-m front crawl swimming performance in young male swimmers. Twenty-two county level male swimmers (mean ±SD: age: 14.52 ± 0.77 years; body height: 173 ± 5 m; body mass: 60.5 ± 5.7 kg) performed a 200-m front crawl swimming test in a 25-m pool. Stepwise regression analysis revealed that biomechanical parameters (87%) characterized best 200-m front crawl swimming performance, followed by anthropometrical (82%) and muscle architectural (72%) parameters. Also, stroke length (R2 = 0.623), body height (R2 = 0.541), fascicle length of Triceps Brachii (R2 = 0.392) were the best single predictors that together explained 92% of the variability of the 200-m front crawl swimming performance in these swimmers. As a conclusion, with respect to higher performance prediction power of biomechanical parameters, technique should represent the core of the training program at these ages. In addition, these findings could be used for male young swimmers selection and talent identification.

The purpose of this study was to develop a body characteristic index (BCI) based on the distribution of maximal oxygen uptake per body mass (VO2max/mass), body surface area per body mass (BSA/mass), and percentage of body fat (Fat%) to evaluate the relative level of individual physiological responses to heat strain in a group of workers. BCI was based upon the data obtained from 10 males and 10 females exercising for 60 min on a treadmill at 2 relative exercise intensities of 25% and 45% VO2max in mild, warm wet, and hot dry climate condition, separately. BCI was developed into 2 formulas, which were proved to be better predictors for heat strain responses than each individual characteristic, and more sensitive than body type to describe the distributions of individual characteristics and distinguish the differences in physiological responses to heat.

Content available An Ergonomics Evaluation of Certain ATM Dimensions
EN
Although millions of automatic teller machines (ATMs) are currently used all over the world, users of ATMs still have usability problems including inappropriate user-ATM interaction, display problems and others. Many developed countries already have standards in place for ATMs. However, this is not the case in many other countries. This paper aims to assess certain dimensions of ATM machines and their suitability for users in Middle Eastern countries using anthropometric measurements of the user population taking Saudi Arabia as a case study. Dimensions of all ATMs used in Saudi Arabia were measured and compared with recommended dimensions based on anthropometric measurements of the user population. Results show that there is a mismatch between the dimensions of ATMs used in Saudi Arabia and the recommended dimensions based on the user population. Practical recommendations are given as to improve the usability of ATMs in Saudi Arabia and other Middle Eastern countries.

The aim of the study was to provide a current assessment of the Slovakian adults self-reported dietary, and identify and analyze differences between females and males in anthropometries, food habits, preferences and eating attitude. Data are from a cross-sectional survey of l 400 adults (700 males and 700 females) from different regions of Slovakia. Participants reported their usual consumption of meat and milk and their products, fruits and vegetables, legumes, sweets, and drinks. The study found that 34.05 % of participants (38.14 % females, and 30.0 % males) had a normal weight, while in 21.86 % of males and 15.72 % of females (p < 0.01) prevailed light obesity. Participants reported their usual weekly consumption (number of serves) of foods of Yegetable and animal origin. The study found that 62.29 % of females were met the weekly consumption of dairy products three times and more (p < 0.001). Males (59.14 %) preferred consumption of pork meat at least once a week and beef (87.14 %). Consumption of poultry was law, with 83.86 % of all participants, having poultry meat at least once a week, 4.21 % eating rabbit meat and 20.43 % having fish (at least once a week). Fresh fruit (p < 0.01) as well as Yegetable (p < 0.001) consumed at least three times a week more females than males (62 % and 42 % of females, respectively; p < 0.01). Age and gender difference occurred for more measures, and there were some socio-economic status differences. On the basis of the results of this study, it appears that a significant proportion of the Slovakian adults fali short of current, national dietary and physical activity recommendations for adults. Continual monitoring of these behaviours is essential to help inform research and policy and identify where future efforts should be directed.

Celem pracy było zbadanie diety dorosłych Słowaków, określenie różnic w pomiarach antropometrycznych, nawykach i preferencjach żywieniowych występujących między kobietami i mężczyznami. Uzyskane dane pochodzą z badań przekrojowych, którymi objęto 1400 dorosłych osób (700 mężczyzn i 700 kobiet) zamieszkujących w różnych rejonach Słowacji. Uczestnicy badań byli pytani o ilość spożywanego mięsa, mleka i produktów mlecznych, owoców i warzyw, roślin strączkowych oraz słodyczy i napojów. Badania wykazały, że prawidłowa masa ciała występowała u 34,05 % osób (38,14 % kobiet i 30,0 % mężczyzn). U 21,86 % mężczyzn i 15,72 % kobiet (p < 0,01) występowała lekka otyłość. Uczestnicy badań podali ilość spożywanych produktów zwierzęcych i roślinnych w ciągu jednego tygodnia (liczba dań). Badania wykazały, że 62,29 % kobiet spożywa produkty nabiałowe trzy lub więcej razy w tygodniu (p < 0.001). Mężczyźni (59,14 %) spożywali wieprzowinę i wołowinę (87.14 %) jeden lub więcej razy w tygodniu. Spośród uczestników badań 83,86 % osób spożywało drób, 4,21 % mięso królików i 20,43 % mięso ryb co najmniej raz w tygodniu. Świeże owoce (p < 0.01) i warzywa (p < 0.001) były konsumowane co najmniej 3 razy w tygodniu - częściej przez kobiety niż przez mężczyzn (62 % kobiet i 42 % mężczyzn; p < 0.01). Różnice związane z płcią i wiekiem wystąpiły również w przypadku innych badanych cech. Różnice te często były związane ze statusem społeczno-ekonomicznym. Przeprowadzone badania wykazały, że znaczna część dorosłych Słowaków zaniedbuje prawidłową dietę i aktywność fizyczną. Ciągły monitoring tych zachowań jest niezbędny dla kształtowania polityki oraz rozpoznania kierunków przyszłych działań.
