    Abstract

    Kinanthropometry plays a vital role in areas such as health, sport, industry and fashion, among others. However, few are the anthropometrists who are already certificated. One of the main goals of the International Society for the Advancement of Kinanthropometry (ISAK) is to help those who work within these professional areas to achieve higher levels of accuracy and measurement precision by performing a set of accreditation courses through what is known as "International Anthropometry Accreditation Scheme". So far the accreditation courses have been conducted "in person". Our goal is to build an e-learning anthropometry accreditation course and through it to increase the accuracy of measurement and the number of certified anthropometrists.
