The compact formulation of anthropodynamical measures in physiological anthropology.
In this paper, an interdisciplinary combination of several state-of-art methods from biomechanics, modeling and multibody dynamics of the humans is described. The description of the human figure in the motion is a very important part of biomechanical analysis. In such current methods it is necessary to us mass moment of inertia as a part of the fundamental dynamic anthropomeasure when describing this motion. The goal of this work is to use and modify existing techniques and to investigate what have to be analyzed to make them work together. First, some general definitions and descriptions of mass moment of inertia adapted to anthropometric values of our population. Second, there is also a review of some simple models by means of which it is possible to calculate distribution of the body-part masses during the motion. The results are given in the form of equations and tables which present the functions between selected body parts anthropodynamical measures and percentile distribution values of males as well as females of Croatian population.
