| Περίληψη: | This study aimed to evaluate the accuracy and reliability of the newly developed SomatoMetrics software for somatotype calculation and to compare its performance with existing methods. The study included 132 individuals aged 28–35 years (73 males, 59 females), and anthropometric measurements were obtained using the Heath – Carter method. SomatoMetrics, developed with a Flutter-based frontend and a GoLang-based backend, provides automated error checking, standardized data entry, and graphical outputs. Its accuracy was compared with the Somatotürk and Somatotype programs. Reliability was assessed using the intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC), Pearson correlation, Bland – Altman analysis, and Cohen’s kappa coefficient. The results demonstrated very high agreement and strong correlations between methods (ICC: 0.999–1.000; Pearson |
