The compact formulation of anthropodynamical measures in physiological anthropology

In this paper, an interdisciplinary combination of several state-of-art met hods from biomechanics, modeling and multibody dynamics of the humans is de scribed. The description of the human figure in the motion is a very import ant part of biomechanical analysis. In such current methods it is necessary to us mass moment of inertia as a part of the fundamental dynamic anthropo measure when describing this motion. The goal of this work is to use and mo dify existing techniques and to investigate what have to be analyzed to mak e them work together. First, some general definitions and descriptions of m ass moment of inertia adapted to anthropometric values of our population. S econd, 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 moti on. The results are given in the form of equations and tables which present the functions between selected body parts anthropodynamical measures and p ercentile distribution values of males as well as females of Croatian popul ation.
