Anthropometry
The tests determine the SOMATOTYPE (type of body constitution) as well as the BODY COMPOSITION (percentage of muscle, bone, fat). Moreover, certain key data are provided (e.g. biological age, expected final body-height for talent assessment). Anthropometric test data also form the basis of nutritional counselling.
As concerns sports anthropometry, IMSB Austria ranks among the leading institutions in the European area. IMSB Austria has already carried out and published a large number of international studies (at European and World Championships).
If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to ask our anthropologist Dr. Alena Kos: office@imsb.at
