Research on the quantitative characteristics of the leading dimensional features of the figures of girls of primary school age

Abstract

Purpose. To study the quantitative characteristics of the leading dimensional features of the figures of modern girls of primary school age in order to determine the anthropometric information sufficient for the industrial production of children's clothing. Methodology. The work uses the contact method of obtaining anthropometric information that characterizes the figure of a child. Results. The lack of updated standardized anthropometric information on children's body types leads to the production of ill-fitting clothing in industrial manufacturing. This requires research on the conformity of typical body types of modern children in order to revise industry standards. It has been establised that only 66.7% of typical figures of girls aged 9.5–11.5 years are represented in the standard for primary school children, and almost 30% in the standard for girls of the senior school age group. In addition, a quantitative shift of existing typical figures towards the 11 fullness group has been established. Scientific novelty. Based on the analysis of quantitative characteristics of the leading dimensional features of modern typical figures of girls of primary school age, the percentage distribution of standard sizes in the sample was calculated, and a list of typical figures was established, which are represented in the current standard. Practical significance. The typological composition of the figures of girls of primary school age was determined by combining the values of the leading dimensional characteristics to ensure an increase in the level of satisfaction of this group of children with mass-produced clothing.
