Preliminary statistical analysis of anthropometrics data in related to sitting posture among college students at east coast Malaysia

Purpose: To statistically analyse sitting posture using anthropometrics data among college students in Malaysia. Design/methodology/approach: This study was conducted among 52 college students consisting of males and females. Data were analysed using a common statistical tool which is the Statistical Package of Sosial Science (SPSS). Findings: Preliminary analysis of data indicated that there are wider differences in standard deviation of eye sitting height compared to the previous study conducted. Research limitations/implications: This study was conducted at only one higher learning institution/college located at East Cost of Malaysia. Practical implications: The larger value of standard deviation discovered as statistical analysis performed using combined data among male and female participants suggested that data should be segregated. Originality/value: Result obtained could be used as a preliminary guideline to design any related item in related to sitting posture.
