Abstract:
In this study, we analyze scan data from women and men collected in sizing campaigns. Our goal is to find regularities between the sizes, proportions, and shapes of the human body, and we pursue the thesis that body size and weight systematically influence human physiology and biomechanics. In order to make the results usable for applications in occupational physiology, ergonomics, clothing industry, medicine, and sports physiology, we summarize the data in anthropometric scale models that describe the distribution of body measures for women and men of different lengths and weights. The results show that the volume and width-to-length ratio of various body segments systematically change with body length and weight, which must be considered when designing bandages and orthoses. In addition, we are conducting a numerical experiment to investigate the influence of body size on temperature regulation. This reveals that people of different sizes have different requirements in terms of ambient temperature, which must be considered in areas such as air conditioning or clothing design.
