Learning outcomes
|
Anthropometry in non-medical fields provides students with basic knowledge and teaches them practical skills in the field of physical anthropology. Students will acquire practical skills in the field of standardized anthropometry methods, will learn to evaluate the somatic state of the individual at different stages of ontogenesis in physical growth and development, nutritional status, fractionation of body composition, determination of anthropometric somatotype and biological age.
The aim of anthropometry in non-medical fields is to provide students with basic knowledge and teach them practical skills in the field of physical anthropology
