Anthropometric measurements are commonly employed to evaluate body composition, morphology, and health-related parameters across diverse populations. While a cost-effective and field-friendly method, the COVID-19 pandemic has spurred research on digital anthropometry worldwide. Machine learning, a fusion of artificial intelligence and data mining, holds promise for enhancing data collection and analysis in Kinanthropometry applications. Rather than replacing traditional methods, digital anthropometry presents a significant opportunity to enhance accuracy, validity, practicality, and the implementation of self-monitoring procedures under professional guidance. The CyberMetron Project by DBSS aims to perform additional research and increase scientific literacy among practitioners for public awareness of digital anthropometry.

Data will be collected from residents of both genders and with different levels of physical activity. The population sample will be obtained through internal calls to both students and administrative staff at participating universities and through an open call. Anthropometric variables of restricted and complete profiles established by ISAK will be measured, along with digital images taken at different distances from the lens. Regarding the sample size, it will be conducted by convenience (non-probabilistic), primarily considering university students, administrative staff, and other potentially eligible adults who respond to the study announcement and sign the informed consent.
Finally, all statistical analyses will be performed within the statistical computing environment R v4.2.3, with a statistical significance of P\<0.05. Pearson's correlation coefficient (r), adjusted determination coefficient (aR²), and Lin's concordance correlation coefficient (ρc) will be used for comparative analysis between main variables taken by conventional anthropometry and digital anthropometry. The coefficient of repeated measures correlation (rrm) will be employed to assess the strength of the linear association between variables, while the intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC), with its corresponding 95% confidence interval (95% CI), and Finn's coefficient (rF) will be used to evaluate reliability between evaluators. Additionally, the Bland-Altman analysis will be applied for the concordance analysis between conventional and digital anthropometry.
Dynamical Business and Science Society - DBSS International SAS is the lead sponsor of 8 studies on the registry; 3 are open to participants now.
Counted across the registry records on this site, refreshed daily.
The population sample is obtained through internal calls to both students and administrative staff of the participating universities, as well as through an open call, taking advantage of the collaboration agreement between DBSS International and Smart Fit.
Go through the criteria one by one — yes, no or not sure — and take the list to your doctor or the study team. Kept in this browser only.
Exclusion Criteria:
Underlined terms in the criteria open these too. Explained by clinicaltrials.gg, not part of the registry record. The study team decides who can take part.
Before you join, the study team explains what taking part involves — its purpose, what happens, the risks and possible benefits — and answers your questions, so you can decide freely. Consent is usually recorded on a form (the informed consent form, ICF) signed by you or, where the law allows, by someone legally authorised to decide for you.
You can keep asking questions during the study, you are told of new information that matters, and you can choose to leave at any time.

It will be obtained by open call for both students and administrative staff at the CES University.
DBSS will open a call for participation to get a sample of personal trainers and physically active population that want to be involved as sample participants.
Under the collaboration framework between DBSS international SAS and ARTHROS Physiotherapy and Exercise Center, a sample of professional athletes from different sports disciplines will be invited to participate.
Anthropometric measurements
Anthropometric measurements of restricted and complete profile established by ISAK will be taken, specifically the basic measurements, perimeters (cm), lengths (cm) and diameters (cm).
Time frame: 40 Minutes
Body composition and morphology by digital anthropometry
The evaluation will be performed using a mobile application that processes standardized frontal and lateral photographs as input. Participants will assume the ISAK anatomical position, which corresponds to standing upright with relaxed arms at sides (hands in neutral position) and feet positioned at biacromial width (aligned with the application's frame markers). After sufficient processing time for automated report generation, we will export data to the participant's designated file and store the generated 3D avatar.
Time frame: 15 Minutes
Measurements of dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry
Estimation of fat mass and fat-free mass by DXA will be used as the reference method.
Time frame: 10 Minutes
Started Jan 2025 (actual). Primary completion is estimated for Jun 2025, 5 months after the start.
