PROFILING A NEW USER GROUP: ANTHROPOMETRIC DATA FOR MOTORCYCLISTS

摘要

This study builds on previous research examining motorcycle rider anthropometry (Robertson, 1987; Robertson & Minter, 1996) which found evidence that UK motorcycle riders were taller than the general population. A sample of 57 motorcycle riders was obtained and a range of dimensions were measured. Male motorcycle rider stature was significantly greater than the general population which supported the findings of previous research and provide a strong indication that motorcyclists may be a unique user group that requires further investigation to build a larger data set in the future.
