"Kinanthropometry is a new scientific specialization and a fast emerging discipline drawing tremendous attention in the field of human biology, physical anthropology, sports medicine, sports science, physical education, auxiology, gerontology, ergometry, physiotherapy etc. Basic books on Kinanthropometry are scanty. Albeit, numerous research papers are coming up almost everyday from every corner of the globe. It is indeed difficult to keep the pace of accumulation of research findings.

In the present volume, an attempt has been made to explain all the important principles of Kinanthropometry in a lucid manner. Readers obviously will get enormous recent references in this field. Students, teachers and researchers in kinanthropometry will be benefited widely in applying different protocols of taking kinanthropometric measurements discussed in the volume in detail."
