Abstract

Anthropometric measures for female secondary school students in Nigeria were sparsely reported in literature. Consequently, Classroom Furniture (CF) are designed without recourse to anthropometric dimensions and ergonomic norms. Poorly designed CF may lead to learning challenges and risk of potential future posture related health problems. Thus, provision of CF with appropriate measures is crucial to encourage proper fit and could help to reduce accidents among students. Therefore, this study was undertaken to evaluate the degree of compatibility between CF dimensions and female students’ body measurements in Secondary School, Okitipupa, Nigeria.
