STUDY OF THE STRUCTURE OF ANTHROPOMETRIC INFORMATION FOR DESIGNING THE UNIFORMS OF THE ARMED FORCES OF THE REPUBLIC OF KAZAKHSTAN

Abstract

The study investigates the anthropometric parameters of military personnel in Kazakhstan, with a particular focus on the youth age group, in order to improve military uniform design. The main objective is to identify and classify key anthropometric determinants for developing a scientifically grounded methodology that addresses modern ergonomic and physiological requirements. The methodological significance of the research lies in proposing an innovative approach to systematizing anthropometric characteristics, taking into account ontogenetic dynamics, and in constructing a size typology model through correlation and factor analysis. This makes it possible to determine the most significant indicators and their interrelations that affect uniform construction. The practical value of the study consists in providing recommendations for the design of ergonomically optimized military uniforms that reflect dynamic anthropometry and age-related characteristics. The results can contribute to the automation of the uniform design process and to the revision of the size typology for military personnel in Kazakhstan.
