Chest circumference, waist circumference, hip circumference

Curved beauty is an important symbol to measure the beauty of women's body, and women's "three measurements" (chest circumference, waist circumference and hip circumference) are the core factors that constitute curved beauty. So, how to measure whether the "measurements" of women are standard? According to the physique of China people and the influence of body-building exercise on human body shape and physique, bodybuilding experts in China have studied and summarized the calculation methods of standard measurements for women: bust = height (cm) ×0.535, waist = height (cm) ×0.365 and hip = height (cm) ×0.565.

The actual calculated index and the standard index of 3 cm are standard. Less than 5 cm means too slim (thin); More than 5 cm indicates that it is too plump (overweight). But the measurement standard of professional female model is different. Due to professional needs, their measurement standards have a certain gap with the normal standards.

Generally, the ratio of female measurements is: bust is about equal to hip circumference, and waist circumference is about 23 cm smaller than bust or hip circumference. Through measurement and calculation, if any circumference is found to be different from the standard data, bodybuilding can make up for it Because targeted fitness can strengthen the coordinated development of "three measurements" and prevent imbalance. In addition, bodybuilding can also make the muscles and fat in all parts of the body evenly distributed, which is beneficial to bodybuilding.

Measurement method:

Chest circumference: Chest circumference reflects the size of the chest and the development of pectoral muscles and breasts, and is an important indicator of physical development. When measuring, the body stands upright and the arms droop naturally. The front of the tape measure is placed on the upper edge of the nipple, and the back of the tape measure is placed on the lower corner of the scapula. First measure the chest circumference at rest, then measure the chest circumference when inhaling, and finally measure the chest circumference when exhaling. The difference in chest circumference between deep inhalation and deep exhalation is the difference in breathing, which can reflect the function of respiratory organs. The average adult's breathing difference is 6 ~ 8 cm, and the breathing difference of regular exercisers can reach more than 10 cm. When measuring the bust of underage women, the tape measure should be placed horizontally at the lower corner of the scapula and in front of the nipple. Pay attention to remind the subjects not to shrug their shoulders or bend over when exhaling.

Waist circumference: Waist circumference reflects the development of waist and abdominal muscles. When measuring, stand upright, hang your arms naturally, don't fold your abdomen, keep your breathing steady, and put the tape measure horizontally at the narrowest place under the hip bone and ribs (the thinnest place at the waist).

Hip circumference: Hip circumference reflects the development of hip bones and muscles. When measuring, the legs stand upright together, the arms droop naturally, and the tape measure is placed horizontally at the most convex part of the pubic symphysis in front and the gluteus maximus in the back.

In order to ensure the accuracy, when measuring the "three measurements", one measurement should be on the cross section and the second measurement should be carried out before the movement. At the same time, we should pay attention to the time and place of each measurement. Don't pull the tape too tight or too loose when measuring, and try to be meticulous and accurate.
