[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anthropometry#Ergonomics '''Anthropometrics'''] is the systematic collection and collation of measurements of the human body in order to establish [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Average averages] and variations in height and shape for example. It is the branch of '''[[Ergonomics]]''' that deals with body shape and size.
