Application of Anthropometric Dimensions for Estimating Stove Height, Stove Depth and Cooking Task Envelope
RESULTS AND DISCUSSION
Fig.9: Waist height Fig .10: Arm reach forward
Fig.11: Arm span
The anthropometrics data acquisition involved 5 measurements, and these included stature
height, shoulder height, arm span, arm reach forward and waist height. The other variable is
stove height. The statistical results are shown in Table 1 to Table 8 as well as Fig.7 to Fig.12.
Table 9, on the other hand, shows the comparison with the previous findings.
The Stove Height
The ‘stove height’ is a dimension measured from the floor to the top of the stove. This includes
table or cabinet where the stove is placed on. The results are in Tables 1, and 2, as well as in
Fig.12. Table 2 shows that 36.4% of the stove height is higher than 36 inches (91.4cm) which
is as suggested by NKBA.
