Popis: This research on human body dimensions offers data for creating comfortable and efficient workplaces. Focusing on Slovak university students (2003–2023) as a representation of the adult population, the study measured 25 key anthropometric dimensions. 11355 respondents (5219 women and 6136 men) were selected for the analysis. This data, analyzed through descriptive statistics, empowers designers to tailor work environments and their elements to individual needs, minimizing worker fatigue and maximizing productivity. The findings are applicable across various design fields: Informing dimensions and functionalities of tools, workspaces, and controls in industrial design and guiding short- and long-term product development in consumer product design. By analyzing future workforce trends through university students, this research helps ensure workplace designs remain relevant and ergonomically sound.
