Course details
The ISAK Level 1 Anthropometry Course is designed to comply with the ISAK international anthropometry accreditation scheme. The course is delivered and assessed over 3-days by BU’s Dr Sarah Hillier, Level 3 Instructor and Senior Lecturer, alongside Dr Malika Felton, Level 2 Technician and Senior Lecturer with a combination of theory and practice through short seminars and hands-on practicals.
This course will include theoretical components discussing topics such as anatomy, body composition, somatotype and statistics. Practical components include the measurement of a Restricted Profile (stature, mass, eight skinfolds, five girths and three breadths) adhering to the standards required by ISAK. You will also study how these measures enable the monitoring of health and growth variables.
Your assessment will include:
A practical demonstration of accurate precision in the assessment of a ISAK Level 1 Restricted Profile. The demonstration will be assessed on intra-tester reliability (how repeatable your own measurements are) and inter-tester reliability (how accurate you are compared with criterion measures)
You will also make a submission of 20 post-course profiles within a four-month period.
Upon successful completion of the course, you will receive the Level 1 ISAK Anthropometry Course accreditation (valid for four years) and ISAK membership.
