ANTHROPOMETRY OF THE HANDS OF MALE AIR FORCE FLIGHT PERSONNEL

Abstract

This report contains descriptions of and data on 56 anthropometric dimensions of the hands of 148 male Air Force flight personnel. Selected dimensional comparisons indicate that this sample is representative of the total group of Air Force flight personnel. Summary statistics presented include the means, standard deviations, ranges, selected percentiles, and coefficients of variation. Also included are data on the age, rank, major Air Command, and commissioned status of the sample; a complete matrix of intercorrelations among the anthropometric dimensions; bivariate tables; multiple regression equations; and nomographs for selected combinations of dimensions. A procurement table for the U.S. Air Force 12-size glove program revised to reflect the latest anthropometric data is presented.
