According to the "measurements" of the curvy figure of ordinary women in China, China bodybuilding experts combined with the influence of fitness exercise on human body shape, summed up the calculation method of the standard measurements of women:
Chest circumference = height (cm) ×0.535, waist circumference = height (cm) ×0.365 and hip circumference = height (cm) ×0.565. According to the statistical results, the "measurements" are less than 5 cm, indicating that they are too slim (thin); More than 5 cm indicates that it is too plump (overweight).
Professional female models are measured differently. Due to professional needs, their measurement standards have a certain gap with the normal standards.
Extended data
Bust: The bust here refers to the upper bust used to calculate the bra size. 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, and don't pull the tape too tightly or too loosely when measuring, so as to be meticulous and accurate.
