title: Determination of central dynamic moments of inertia of body segments.
abstract: This paper has been described an automatised method for determination of central dynamic moments of inertia of body segments. The method has been established for measuring female subjects. The body is sectioned into 16 segments, which are modelled using geometric solids. Measuring has been performed on 120 female subjects. Dynamic moments of inertia have been determined for all three axes of local co-ordinate systems in segments' centres of mass. The results are statistically analysed and divided into five percentile groups. Method described in this work represents simple, quickly and reliable manner of dynamic anthropomeasures determination.
