Abstract
Standardized measurement protocol for assessing anthropometric dimensions of human body is precisely predefined by International Biological Programme (IBP), [16]. Objective of this research was to produce, compare, validate and standardize protocol for digital measurement (DM-I) using Kinect sensor in order to economize future large scale research. Results in selected variables revealed that classically and digitally measured parameters, e.g. height, in average results do not differ significantly, while e.g. for lengths of the left forearm and the left lower leg do indicate lower values. Different reference points used in two measurement methods, i.e. anthropometric points (IBP) and Kinect points, represent similar, but not identical representation of human body. Measures of internal consistency (reliability) for assessed digitally measured variables demonstrated high reliability, but inappropriateness for clinical trials demanding extremely high precision. Since reliability of instruments in clinical and sport application differ, broad spectrum of useful specific diagnostic tools and instruments may be produced based on results assessed in this research.
