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 13:30Anatomic landmarkingHandling equipmentBasic measures: Skinfolds, Girths, BreadthsPractice of the 21 anthropometric variablesSaturday: 8:30 to 13:30Anatomic landmarkingPractice of the 21 anthropometric variables in duplicateExam practice: Evaluate 1 subject in duplicate within 20 minutesSunday: 9:30 to 13:30Practical exam: Evaluate 3 subjects in duplicate within 20 minutes per subjectTEM verification versus L3/4 Criterion AnthropometristOnline complements:You will have the opportunity to participate in a live webinar where Francis Holway will share his knowledge and experience in the applied field of anthropometry.About the instructor.
