POSTURE
Posture maps alignment of the skeletal framework, particularly the intersection
of the spine and pelvis (see pelvic tilt). Posture is both a critical
variable in classification of body type and a controlling influence in the
way textile grain flows over the body.

ABSTRACT: Anthropometric and mass distribution data for use in constructing
three-dimensional human analogues-mathematical models or test dummies, are
presented in this report. Included here are body dimensions, joint locations,
and mass distribution properties appropriate for modeling the small, mid-size,
and large male aviator. The data were derived from (a) 139 body dimensions
of standing and seated males obtained by traditional anthropometric methods,
(b) mass distribution data for body segments obtained by stereophotographic
techniques, and (c) skeletal joint centers obtained by estimation.

of body frame size as a function of sex and actual frame size. Perceptual
and Motor Skills, 66(1), 144-146.
ABSTRACT: The study investigated the accuracy of estimation of body frame
size as a function of sex and actual frame size, using 66 men and 52 women
from a community adult fitness program. Data indicate that medium-frame
subjects were the most likely to be accurate in their estimations of body
frame size. Women were twice as likely to be accurate in their estimations
as men.

ABSTRACT: The effect of height and body mass on personality and salary based
on questionnaire data collected from 208 male and 227 female British employees
(aged 18-65 yrs) across different industries was examined. Results suggest
that the effect of physical features on salary was not moderated by personality.
Physical characteristics were not strongly related to women's career success.
The ideal physique for success among men was tall with an average body mass.
