Anthropometric International Certification - Level 1

Marcos Lovera, ISAK instructor, disciple of Francis Holway, and representative of Holway Anthropometric Tools, invites you to become certified as an ISAK Level 1 Anthropometrist.

The ISAK Level 1 focus on basic measurements and skinfolds, with minimal need for advanced techniques. This level includes a limited number of girths and three bone breadths to allow for tracking health and growth indicators, as well as calculating somatotype and body composition. ISAK considers these tools essential for comparing body size, shape, and composition. Upon successfully completing Level 1, an individual will demonstrate proficiency in taking 4 base measurements, 8 skinfolds, 6 girths, and 3 breadths, along with a foundational understanding of the theoretical aspects of anthropometric applications.

This certification will take place from May 15th to 18th, 2025, at NutriActiva Medical Supply Store, located at 10800 Nesbitt Ave S, Bloomington, MN 55437, United States (RJ4R+Q5 Bloomington, Minnesota, USA).

Schedule:

Friday: 8:30 to 13:30

• Anatomic landmarking
• Handling equipment
• Basic measures: Skinfolds, Girths, Breadths
• Practice of the 21 anthropometric variables

Saturday: 8:30 to 13:30

*Theoretical Classes:

• You will have access to theoretical classes a few days before the practical days begin, as well as the ISAK online manual. Students can watch these materials at any convenient time. We strongly recommend completing the entire theoretical material before the practical days conclude.
• Compulsory attendance for all 3 in-person days is required. These sessions will be led by Level 3 Instructor Marcos Lovera.
• The week following the course, on a day and time to be confirmed (as a group), there will be a final online class with Marcos Lovera. This session will serve as a review, covering body composition software and addressing any questions students may have regarding the theoretical or practical components. This 40-minute Zoom class will be recorded and shared with all participants the following day.
