Anthropometry is an important tool for the assessment of nutritional status, and
anthropometric indicators are predictors of survival and health of individuals and populations.
12 Hence this study was aimed at determining whether hand grip strength in healthy adults is correlated with measurement of lung function such as peak expiratory flow rate and with other
anthropometric markers such as height weight BMI and specific markers of upper limb muscle mass such as mean arm circumference and upper arm length.
Accurate
anthropometric measurements are required to identify stunting and wasting in children, yet our experience is that routine length/height measurements, in particular, are imprecisely done.
The results showed that there are differences between PE teachers and PE experts in the

anthropometric indicators in young populations (5, 7, 9, 11).
But nowadays, methods for obtaining
anthropometric body data have become more practical, contactless, fast, and, above all, accurate since the introduction and application of 3D body scanners (Simmons & Istook, 2003; Simenko & Cuk, 2016).
