Table A 1.
Fifteen anthropometric measurements. Subject (S) measurements are in cm and deviations from literature value (Δ) are in %. Positive deviations indicate increase in measurements from literature to subject, and negative deviations indicate decrease in measurements from literature to subject. Average Δ is the absolute average of all measurements for each subject.
