The basic objective of MIFT research is to
improve existing sports-wear sizing systems of Indian Female. The study took
place in Mysore on 900 young females of different sports background of age
between 18 to 30 Years. Body movement measuring procedures were used that was
specially modified for body type and that complied with research boundary line.
Using front/back and left/right hands and legs movement, both right and left
body halves of 900 females aged 18–30 years were measured in order to register
their different body movement and classify them into different groups. Analysis
of the measurements related to the movement documented the asymmetry arising
from the different types and degrees of sports activities that helped in
creating a three-dimensional moving model, according to the amplitude
limitations. As a result of this taxonomy, different size charts were created
and scientifically calculated to correspond to different sports female
groups.

How to design a global product which has relation
with human Height, Wight and other aspects of human body. For example sports-wear,
endurance/validation/fitting of shoes, Jeans or clothing for Female if Average
Height is so different
Indonasia - 4 feet 8 inches
Netherlands - 5 feet 8 inches
Indonasia - 4 feet 8 inches
Netherlands - 5 feet 8 inches
For example Anthropometric data (measurements)
are used to determine the shape of handle and distance to be held from head.
Designed for average size hand. The length of lead is determined from
anthropometric data (length of average arms and average height of users). The
hair dryer is now ergonomically designed.

Ergonomics is the scientific discipline concerned
with the understanding of interactions among humans and other elements of a
system, and the profession that applies theory, principles, data and methods to
design to optimize human well-being and overall system performance.

Anthropometry refers to the measurement of the
human individual. An early tool of physical anthropology, it has been used for
identification, for the purposes of understanding human physical variation, in
paleoanthropology and in various attempts to correlate physical with racial and
psychological traits.
Ergonomics is the practice of designing products,
systems, or processes to take proper account of the interaction between them
and the people who use them.
