Sažetak
The paper presents research on female body anthropometric characteristics, with the purpose of grouping and classifying different body shapes types. Classification is based on the numerical ratio of variables that describe the shape of lateral body curve in longitudinal frontal plane section. The existing methods for classifying the woman's body shape are mainly based on the ratio of the three basic circumference measures, whereby the overall circumference measures do not give a clear picture of the observed body cross section shape, and thus the shape cannot be clearly described. Experimental part of the paper includes defining the variables, i.e. shape indicators that are describing lateral body curve for shape classification and are calculated from a set of body measures determined using a 3D body scanner, which ensures the reliability and objectivity of the method. The study was conducted on a female population sample, whereby statistical data processing showed identification of the three female body shape groups, that significantly differ in defined shape indicators. Based on the analysis of the particular indicators influence on a belonging to a certain body type, a method for the classification of female body shapes was developed.
