Kinanthropometry

---

The International Society for the Advancement of Kinanthropometry (ISAK) is an
international group that has made its role the stewardship and advancement of
kinanthropometry—the study of human size, shape, proportion, composition, maturation
and gross function. Kinanthropometry, a discipline of only some forty years standing, is
named from the Greek root words kinein (to move), anthropos (man) and metrein (to
measure). Its purpose is to facilitate a better understanding of growth, exercise, nutrition
and performance. Although ISAK is probably best known for its international
anthropometry accreditation scheme, it also plays a major role in increasing international
dialogue between kinanthropometrists and facilitating the presentation and dissemination
of the results of their scientific endeavours.
To that end, for the past eighteen years, ISAK has made a practice of holding its
Biennial General Meetings in association with major sport science conferences prior to
either the Olympic or Commonwealth Games. Within these conferences, ISAK has been
instrumental in the organisation of a kinanthropometry stream as a platform for the
presentation of quality papers on the research findings of its members and international
colleagues. In the past decade, that has occurred in Dallas in 1996 (prior to the Atlanta
Olympics); in Adelaide in 1998 (prior to the XVI Commonwealth Games in Kuala
Lumpur); in Brisbane in 2000 (prior to the Sydney Olympics); and in Manchester (prior
to the XVII Commonwealth Games held there). Subsequent to these conferences, ISAK
appointed editors to produce a set of proceedings so that at least some of the papers could
be accessed by a far wider audience than just those able to attend the conferences.
In August 2004, this tradition continued in Thessaloniki, Greece, in conjunction with
the 2004 Pre-Olympic Congress, immediately prior to the Athens Olympics. These
proceedings, which represent a refereed selection of the best kinanthropometry papers
presented in Thessaloniki, are the ninth in the series. ISAK thanks the editors most
sincerely for their efforts in compiling this volume and congratulates the authors on their
work and its inclusion in this publication.
