Assessment of Anthropometric Characteristics of Undergraduate Students from Different Academic Disciplines

Abstract

The study will assess the anthropometric characteristics of undergraduate students from different academic disciplines, with emphasis on selected body measurements that describe physical characteristics and individual variation. Anthropometric assessment provides useful information about body size, proportions, and physical development, while comparison across academic disciplines may provide an understanding of variations within a university student population. The study will focus on selected anthropometric characteristics such as height, weight, body mass index, arm span, sitting height, and other relevant body dimensions among undergraduate students from different academic disciplines. The measurements will be assessed to determine their distribution, mean values, and patterns of variation across the selected academic groups. The study will provide quantitative information on the anthropometric characteristics of students within the study population. A cross-sectional descriptive research design will be adopted for the study. The study population will comprise undergraduate students selected from different academic disciplines using an appropriate sampling technique. Anthropometric measurements will be obtained directly using suitable standardized instruments and procedures. The collected data will be analyzed using frequency, percentage, mean, standard deviation, and an appropriate inferential statistical technique to examine variations in anthropometric characteristics across the selected academic disciplines. The study is expected to reveal variations in selected anthropometric characteristics among undergraduate students from different academic disciplines. Differences may be observed in measurements such as height, weight, body mass index, arm span, and sitting height, while some characteristics may demonstrate comparable patterns across the academic groups. The findings will provide useful quantitative information on physical and anthropometric characteristics within the student population. The findings will be useful to anatomists, anthropologists, health researchers, physiotherapists, nutrition professionals, and other relevant professionals interested in human anthropometry. The study will also contribute to available reference information on the physical characteristics of undergraduate students and provide baseline data for future research involving anthropometric variation among university populations. The study will conclude by providing an assessment of selected anthropometric characteristics of undergraduate students from different academic disciplines. It will recommend the use of standardized anthropometric procedures in future assessments and encourage further research involving broader academic populations and additional body measurements to improve understanding of anthropometric variation among undergraduate students.
