Abstract
This paper focuses on analysis of human body measurements and movements—their maximum amplitudes—forced postures and characteristic poses for the performance of a particular work. Analysis of the work postures and PPE were performed on 155 males who discharge their duties in the Latvian National Armed Forces. From different posture tests, two were selected—bending and squat positions. Analytical results of both poses were compared with the human body measurements taken in the standard position. Measurements were made using a non-contact anthropometric method—human body 3D scanning. The results were analysed and classified for the entire sample. Scan results for the standard position were compared with traditional anthropometric techniques—primary measurements were taken with a tape measure and anthropometer. The most prominent implementation of the two poses was analysed in the paper by carrying out correlation analysis to evaluate mutuality of the results. However, no correlation has been found which would be described by the regression equations. To analyse a protective clothing jacket, a single test subject was scanned using physical markers for marking anthropometrical landmarks. Performance of different work positions dynamically identified various movements of anthropometric points. Such a result indicates necessity for further research in the field of anthropometry, dynamics and motion amplitude studies.
