Anthropometry
The International Society for the Advancement of Kinathropometry (ISAK) has defined and approved an international anthropometry accreditation scheme, which is now taught in over 40 countries worldwide. The ISAK accreditation scheme is based on the concept of a four-level hierarchy. UQ Sport offers:

ISAK Level 2 Anthropometry - full profile
Level 2 Anthropometry is designed for those who wish to offer their subjects a more-comprehensive range of measurements. A Level 2 anthropometrist can demonstrate adequate precision in three base measures, eight skin folds, nine segment lengths, 13 girths, seven bone breadths and has a broad understanding of the theory of anthropometry and its interpretation.
A key element in it is the objective maintenance of quality assurance by requiring that all levels have to meet initial technical error of measurement (TEM) criteria in an end-of-course practical examination followed by the meeting of further TEM criteria on the measurement of 20 subjects to indicate satisfactory repeatability of measures.
Curriculum structure
Total time 44 hours, comprising of:
- 10 hours of theory
- 14 in-course practical (with instructor contact time)
- 20 hours post-course to collect 20 full profiles within six months.
Pre-requisites
- Accreditation in ISAK Level 1 for at least six months.
Dress requirements
- This is a practical course where you will be required to be a subject for other course participants. Please wear or bring with you appropriate clothing to allow for anthropometric measurements such as shorts, bike pants, t-shirt, two piece swimsuit or crop top.

Body Composition Short Course
This is a practical, hands on course focusing on providing participants with the skills & knowledge to competently assess the physique traits of their clients. It is based on internationally recognised standards of the International Society for the Advancement of Kinanthropometry (ISAK), a group who offer physique assessment courses across some 30 countries. At the end of course, participants will be able to:
- Competently landmark specific anatomical sites and undertake precise skinfold & girth measurements
- Assess a clients body composition
- Appreciate their own measurement error & how this can be used to assess if real changes in body composition have occurred
- Effectively make use of readily available software for databasing & automatic reporting of clients results
This course is accredited by Kinect Australia to earn 2 PDP’s (KA1624) and Fitness Australia to earn 7 CEC's (02223FA0212)

Dartfish background
Since its development in 1999, dartfish software has been used worldwide across a number of fields including sport training, coaching, education, healthcare and media. Indeed 60% of medals won in the 2006 Winter Olympics involved athletes who had used dartfish in their Olympic training!
Dartfish workshop
This workshop is designed to support the postgraduate coaching program at The University of Queensland. It will include an introduction to dartfish and involve practical training in movement analysis, biomechanics and skill acquisition. The workshop will aid coaches in their understanding of dartfish and its application to their sport.
