PurposeBody type classification has a great influence on plate making and garment sizing system, and the accuracy of body type classification method will greatly affect the fit of garment production. The purpose of this paper is to use the decision tree algorithm to study body classification rules, develop a decision tree body recognition model and judge the body shape of middle-aged women in Xinjiang.Design/methodology/approachFirst, perform dimensionless processing on the collected data of 256 middle-aged women in Xinjiang, and the dimensionless data were used for K-means body clustering; Then, quantitatively analyze the effectiveness of different classification clusters based on the silhouette coefficients. Second, the decision tree algorithm is used to divide the classified sample data into a training set and a test set at a ratio of 70/30, and select the best node and the best branch based on the Gini coefficient to construct a classification tree. Last, the overall optimal decision tree is generated by means of hyperparameter pruning.FindingsThe body shape of middle-aged women in Xinjiang can be divided into three types: standard body, plump body and obese body. The decision tree model has an excellent effect on body classification of middle-aged women in Xinjiang (precision (macro), 95.46%; precision (micro), 95.95%; recall (macro), 95.46%; recall (micro), 95.95%; F1 (macro), 95.46%; F1 (micro), 95.95%).Originality/valueFor scientific research, this paper is conducive to increasing the regional body type theory and stimulating the establishment of a garment sizing subdivision system in Xinjiang. In terms of production practice, this paper not only establishes a model for judging the shape of middle-aged women in Xinjiang, but also provides reference data for intermediates of various sizes. In addition, to facilitate pattern-making and the establishment of a subdivision system for the size of middle-aged women's garments in Xinjiang, this paper provides the grading values of various body control parts of middle-aged women in Xinjiang.

AbstractMost Korean apparel companies lack suitable dress forms for the different body types of middle-aged Korean women, resulting in poor clothing fit for them. As a part of an ongoing project to develop a dress form that fully reflects Korean middle-aged women’s bodies, this study classified the body shapes and examined the anthropometric characteristics of women in their 40s and 50s. The 3D anthropometric data of 302 middle-aged women of normal weight (18.5 ≤ BMI < 25) were obtained from the 6th Size Korea. Sixty-three measurements related to the construction of dress form were chosen. Based on the scores from five factors, the body shapes of Korean middle-aged women were classified into four types: Type 1 had a broader shoulder and a slightly developed upper body but a more developed lower body; Type 2 had a longer, relatively thin and flat, vertical body; Type 3 had a shorter body and smaller torso than the other types, and the lower body was more developed than the upper; Type 4 had a bulky upper body and the highest BMI, but the lower body was rather small. The nine key measurements in classifying the body shapes of Korean middle-aged women were found by discriminant analysis. The characteristics of representative body shapes obtained in this study can be useful for developing dress forms for clothing that better fits Korean middle-aged women.

To improve body-type classification research and personalized clothing, this study adopted a research method of “three-dimensional (3D) scanning + photos” for the body-shape classification of young females’ waist–abdomen–hip. A total of 178 female college students were recruited for manual, photo and 3D body measurement to get the main body information. Based on the data acquired from 3D scanning, the corresponding heights, angles and other parameters of the waist, abdomen and hip were selected and used to analyze the human body in two respects of shape and height. Then the body-shape indexes and the height indexes were respectively analyzed, and 16 shape characteristic indicators and four height characteristic parameters affecting the waist, abdomen and hip were extracted. Three types in shape and two types in height were obtained, and the main classification rules of the waist–abdomen–hip shape were also concluded to identify the body type based on the body measurements extracted from body photos, which realized the automatic body-type identification based on body photos. It was of great practical significance to provide a basis for personalized customization of fast clothing and the subdivision of the human body shape, which could meet the individual customer’s requirements.

ABSTRACT Introduction: Sports dance is widely known as a competitive game, but as a leisure activity, there is little research on the efficacy of human health and fitness. Sports dance, as a popular national fitness exercise, has sound health promotion effects. At present, domestic and foreign researches mostly focus on the impact of sports dance on young men and women. Objective: This study will explore the influence of regular physical dance exercises on the body shape, function, and quality of middle-aged and older adults, provide a scientific basis for the role of physical dance in national fitness. Methods: This study recruited 20 healthy middle-aged and elderly members of a leisure sports dance club without professional dance experience for three months of dance training. The first two weeks are pre-experiments five times a week. Each exercise time is 60 minutes. The last ten weeks are formal experiments, two times a week, 90 minutes each time, and no other physical exercises are involved in everyday life. By comparing part of the body shape, physical function, and physical fitness index before and after the experiment, the impact of sports dance on middle-aged and older adults’ healthy physical fitness is evaluated. Results: After three months of physical dance exercise with different dance styles, in male, BMI index, body fat percentage, waist circumference, hip circumference, and thigh circumference indicators all decreased, but there was no significant difference. In women, BMI index, body fat percentage (P<0.01), waist circumference (P<0.05), diastolic blood pressure (P<0.01), sitting body forward bending (P<0.05), and standing with one foot and closed eyes all increased. In women, the indexes of grip strength (P<0.01), forward bending in sitting position (P<0.055), and standing with eyes closed on one foot all increased. Conclusions: It is suggested that long-term moderate-intensity aerobic sport dance exercise can improve the body shape of middle-aged and older adults and help increase physical fitness; meanwhile, sports dance can effectively improve the cardiovascular function of middle-aged and elderly subjects. Level of evidence II; Therapeutic studies - investigation of treatment results.

In order to study the Princess Line in women’s suits, based on the body type of young female in Zhejiang province, this research used 3 pieces pattern and 4 pieces pattern as templates. According to different modeling Princess Lines, the researchers made patterns and sample suits. Combining with subjective experiment by mean of trying suits on, the researchers used Fuzzy Comprehensive Evaluation of Fuzzy Mathematics to analyse the data. Compared with the 3 pieces pattern, the results showed that the suits of four pieces pattern has better three-dimensional shape, and it’s more fashionable and has better appearance. Both of the diverting amount of breast dart and the horizontal distance from BP to Princess Line are important keys to cloths appearance. Further more, for 4 pieces samples, when diverting amount of the dart at breast is 1/2, it can show best pleasant curve of the female. Considering of the trend of fashion, we also concluded that for four pieces of samples and the three pieces ones when the horizontal distance from BP to Princess Line is 3.5mm and 5.5mm respectively, Princess Line of the two types of suits will show more beautiful appearance.

Research background and hypothesis. Previous studies have shown that dissatisfaction with the body image among girls often reflects a desire to be thinner, among boys – a desire to be bigger, taller, become more muscular and have a nice body shape. It is known that adolescents have a very precise body image which is related to their own perception. However, there is a gap in research, analyzing body image aspect, i. e. evaluation of specific body image components. Hypothesis – there is a difference in the satisfaction level with specific body image components among 8 th  grade pupils; body image assessment of 8 th  grade pupils is different in the aspect of gender. Research aim was to establish gender differences in body image perception among 8 th  grade pupils.Research methods. The research has been conducted during the months of March-April-May of 2012. A random probability sampling method was used with 8 th  grade pupils from 24 general education schools located in various cities and towns around Lithuania. The research sample was comprised of 1347 (boys n = 674, girls n = 673) 8 th  grade pupils. To perform the diagnostic analysis, the author designed a body image perception questionnaire, composed on the basis of V. Rittner (1986), A. Zaborskis et al. (1996), R. Jankauskienė (2001), A. Zaborskis, J. Makari (2001), W. D. Brettschneider, T. Kleine, G. Klimek (2003), D. M. Garner (2004), R. Russell (2004), A. Miškinytė (2011), questionnaires.Research results. Results of the present research allows concluding that respondents are more dissatisfied with their body image components which are influenced by adolescents’ phenotype. i.e. stomach, shoulders, legs, thighs, hips,  buttocks,  waist,  shin,  breast  (p  <  0.001).  Gender  differences  in  body  image  perception  revealed  that  girls tended to be more dissatisfied with their facial features (p  < 0.001), nose (p < 0.001), cheeks (p = 0.003), facial skin (p < 0.001), hair (p = 0.001), breasts (p = 0.004), waist (p = 0.001), stomach (p < 0.001), legs (p = 0.001), hips (p < 0.001), thighs (p < 0.001), shin (p < 0,001), buttocks (p < 0.001), feet (p < 0.001), naked body (p < 0.001), body shape (p < 0.001), and body weight (p < 0.001). Discussion and conclusions. Differences in body image perception among 8 th  grade pupils depend on gender, i. e. girls compared to boys (p < 0.001), tend to be more dissatisfied with their body image.Keywords: body image, adolescence, body weight, body type, body shape.
