Thanks. By measurements, I meant height, weight etc. will be taken from the participants. How is 'of' possible?

Thanks. But I just wanted to know which word works in the specific sentence I wrote. Which ones work in my sentence?

I see. So is it possible to say: the folliwing measurements will be taken 'of' all subjects.

Of course I believe you, but I got confused because 'of' sounded good in the sentence you wrote with the table example and I thought that the two suggested words with measurements in different sentences. Also, I thought my sentence did not flow well with it. Sorry, I am
