Abstract

As the latter part of the research on the high school girls\` body shapes, this study aimed to classify high school girls\` lateral body shapes and by combining the result with that of the authors\` precedent study on the classification of their frontal body shapes, to classify the whole body shapes into presentative clusters. Subjects consisted of 205 high school girls in Kwangju aged 16 through 18 years. 55 anthropometric and 29 photographic measurements were taken from each subject. For more effective data analysis, these measurements were tansformed into some calculated indexes. These indexes were reduced to 8 factors and these factors classified the lateral body shapes into 3 clusters. The compound types of the whole body shapes resulting from frontal and lateral body shape analysis resulted in 9 representative cody types.
