Validation of Automated Somatotype Estimation Proposal Using Full-Body 3D Scanning [PDF]
BioengineeringSomatotyping is essential for assessing body composition in sports science, anthropology, and medicine. Traditional methods, such as the Heath–Carter approach, rely on manual measurements, which can be prone to errors and variability.

Estimating somatotype from a single‐camera 3D body scanning system
European Journal of Sport Science, Volume 22, Issue 8, Page 1204-1210, August 2022., 2022 ABSTRACT Somatotype is an approach to quantify body physique (shape and body composition). Somatotyping by manual measurement (the anthropometric method) or visual rating (the photoscopic method) needs technical expertize to minimize intra‐ and inter‐observer errors.

The Nutrition in Early Life and Asthma (NELA) birth cohort study: Rationale, design, and methods
Paediatric and Perinatal Epidemiology, Volume 36, Issue 2, Page 310-324, March 2022., 2022 Abstract Background Primary prevention strategies for asthma are lacking. Its inception probably starts in utero and/or during the early postnatal period as the developmental origins of health and disease (DOHaD) paradigm suggests. Objectives The main objective of Nutrition in Early Life and Asthma (NELA) cohort study is to unravel whether the ...

International Journal of Climatology, Volume 41, Issue 5, Page 3107-3120, April 2021., 2021 Clothing resistance (rcl) and potential evapotranspiration (PET) are estimated and linked to characterise the annual thermal climate of the Carpathian region for the period 1971–2000. rcl strongly depends on human body somatotype variations, consequently so does the statistical relationship between rcl and PET.
