Kinanthropometry is the interface between anatomy and movement. It is the application of a series of measurements made on the body and from these we can use the data that we gather directly or perform calculations using the data to produce various indices and body composition predictions and to measure and describe physique.

About the study of performance in sports the television show Sport Science TV series Expand Malay Sains Sukan April 2010 date April 2010 Refimprove date December 2010 Sport science is a discipline that studies the application of Scientific method scientific principles and techniques with the aim of improving sporting performance. Human movement is a related scientific discipline that studies human movement in all contexts including that of sport. The study of sports science traditionally incorporates areas of physiology , psychology , motor control and Sports Biomechanics biomechanics but also includes other topics such as nutrition and diet nutrition diet , Technology in sports sports technology , anthropometry , kinanthropometry , and performance analysis . Sports scientists and performance consultants are growing in demand and employment numbers, with the ever increasing focus within the sporting world on achieving the best results possible. Through the study of science and sport, researchers have developed a greater understanding on how the human body reacts to exercise, training, different environments and many other stimuli. Origins of exercise physiology Sports science can trace its origins to ancient Greece. The noted ancient Greek physician Galen 131 201 wrote 87 detailed essays about improving health proper nutrition , aerobic fitness, and strengthening muscles. Assyrian Hunayn ibn Ishaq translated Galen s work, along with that of Hippocrates , into Arabic which lead to the spread of Greek physiology throughout the Middle East and Europe. Between 776 BC to 393 AD, the ancient Greek physicians planned the training regimens and diets of the Olympic competitors, which developed many principles still used today. New ideas upon the working and functioning of the human body emerged during the renaissance as anatomists and physicians challenged the previously known theories. These spread with the implementation of the printed wgord, the result of Johann ... more details
