Spring is already on the threshold, you have to throw off your extra clothes and change into something lighter and more elegant, so the woman faces another question - how to find impeccable body parameters. And enjoy not only the spring sun, but also your own appearance.

What figure is considered ideal?

One thing can be said, the concepts of beauty, and there are a great many of them, differ greatly from each other. Different cultures have their own preferences - a perfect figure for Europeans will not be considered as such for Asians. The ideals of the early 20th century look somewhat massive and undersized today, when tall and thin models are in favor. What can we say about the female models who posed for the great Rubens. To our contemporary, they will seem simply thick.

The concept of perfection among the ancient Greeks

If we take ancient statues, their sizes are closer to natural parameters, which is explained by the “Golden Section” rule, developed by the ancient scientist Pythagoras. And, proceeding from it, perfection should be determined by the following proportions for both sexes:

• waist size should be twice the circumference of the neck;
• in turn, the neck is twice the circumference of the wrist;
• shoulder width should not exceed 1/4 of a person’s height;
• the size of the forearm and foot (their length) should ideally be equal.

If something does not converge, then the figure is not perfect. But seriously, since each person is unique, one should not be so strict about perfection.

Today, beauty is determined, first of all, by health - if a person is healthy, he will always have an excellent skin condition, a blooming appearance and the absence of excess fat.

The concept of the ideal today

Important indicators of a perfect body today are: age, height and wrist circumference. In fact, this is a measurement of the bone, on which the light, heavy and medium type of addition depends.

• Thin-boned type - 14.5 cm in women, cm, in men 18 cm;
• The average constitution is 15-18 cm for women, 18-20 cm for men;
• Severe type - 18.5-20.5 cm in women, more than 20 cm in men.

How to calculate ideal weight?

Women also need to subtract 100 from their height, after which the resulting figure is multiplied by 0.9.

We must not forget that a good figure is not only the absence of fat and toned muscles, but also the correct posture.

A stylish woman who takes good care of herself definitely needs to know her body type. After all, this is elementary knowledge for any beauty, especially if you want to radically change your image. Appearance decides a lot in a person's life, so the desire to be perfect is not some reckless whim, but a completely serious, conscious choice.

Each representative of the fair sex is individual. Let's try to understand how to determine body types in women in order to please your body and think about winning adjustments to your body features. This body can be helped by physical exercises in the gym, an elegant choice of clothing that skillfully masks imbalances, as well as proper healthy nutrition, which is directly dependent on the level of metabolism and metabolic rate.

Types of female figures

Any lady has her own complexion - anthropometric physical data inherited from her parents in the form of the size and shape of the body.

There are three body types:

• ectomorph / asthenic;
• mesomorph;
• endomorph.

The ectomorphic body structure stands out for its leanness and lack of muscle mass. Mesomorphs are well-built, moderately muscled, and fairly hardy, in contrast to endomorphs, which are characterized by extra bodies, slow metabolism, and rapid accumulation of fat.

In life, combined constitutions are most often found, combining the properties of several representatives. If the task is to work on your body with the help of sports training, then you should just remember this version of the physique. Indeed, for a different type, a certain level of metabolism is characteristic, which is taken into account when choosing a healthy diet.

Women are led to the fitness room by the desire to get an ideal figure, attractive and graceful forms, and most often - to escape from the hated excess fat. Men are not very worried about their proportions, but, nevertheless, they strive to be the owners of athletic figures with pumped up muscles.

Before determining which clothes are suitable for each type, you need to understand how to correctly measure the parameters of a figure in women. It doesn’t matter what size to wear and how much to weigh, the main thing is the proportionality of the physique.

You can find out everything about your complexion:

• independently, having analyzed individual parameters;
• using a calculator;
• using the simple steps of the test online.

Having resorted to the figure type calculator for help, after entering your own values ​​​​(shoulder width, chest, hips, waist), you can find out which category to relate your figure to, set real weight loss goals, given your body size. Moreover, the calculator measures the dimensions of only the upper body, not noticing its lower component. For example, a pear-shaped top can be small (hands) and a massive bottom (ankles).

The algorithm of actions includes measurements of the width of the shoulder and hips, an assessment of the roundness or straightness of the hips,
comparison of the sizes of underwear and outerwear.

Without complex calculations, an online test will help you quickly and easily learn everything about your own body type.

The secrets of style will help to correct the forms and find out that:

• not all types have a similar design and look the same;
• set practical goals;
• do not get hung up on measurements, but strive for healthy body proportions.

Having dealt with the types of female figures, we can understand their individual characteristics, what needs to be worked on in order to look beautiful and unique. It is more difficult for people of the asthenic and hypersthenic type: the former cannot gain the necessary kilograms and build muscle, the latter cannot lose weight due to an improper diet with a predominance of flour, sweet, fatty and simple carbohydrates.

Some useful tips for representatives of each somatotype:

1. It is better for asthenics to eat little by little, choose natural products, and move a lot. If you exclude high-calorie foods with a predominance of sweets, you can not only not gain the desired muscle mass, but also harm your health.
2. It is useful for hypersthenics to monitor the calorie content and balance of dishes. Give preference to vegetables / fruits, lean protein foods - rabbit, chicken, fish and seafood.
3. Normostenics are not recommended to violate food norms, refuse fast foods and high-calorie foods. You need to control your weight, choose healthy foods, sign up for yoga or stretching.

Classify several main types of female figure, resembling an hourglass, pear, triangle, apple, rectangle, triangle / inverted triangle, circle, rhombus, straight, skinny, athletic, lollipop. It is important to know your body type in order to create a visual impression of graceful forms with the help of perfectly fitting clothes.

What clothes to wear and what does not prevent women with a certain figure from remembering:

figure type	Recommendations	Exceptions
Hourglass	You need to focus on the figure by emphasizing the middle of the body and its bends. Bell skirts, sheath dresses with a wrap, with a belt, skinny options, tight-fitting trousers are ideal. Choose flowing fabrics with an emphasis on the waist.	Low-waisted and baggy dresses, A-line shirts, pleated skirts. With a large volume of the chest, do not dress in spacious blouses with assemblies. Mini clothes will not emphasize sexuality with a height above 175 cm.
Pear	Flirtatious models: high waisted dresses, trapezoidal shape, attention to the neck, neckline - a wide neckline. A good option is a bow around the neck. Strict straight trousers will do.	Dropped waist, batwing sleeves, puffy, pleated skirts, cropped trousers, light-colored bottoms, strappy shoes, and thin stilettos (add weight).
Triangle	Emphasis on the lower extremities, a skirt with a low waist, vertical pleats, a loose fit of strapless dresses and collars, a winning option - batwing sleeves or raglan.	Dresses with sleeves, sweaters with weighted tops, pencil skirts. Soft fabrics, frills and lace, almost sleeveless T-shirts, tops and dresses with thin straps are not suitable.
Rectangle	Draped blouses, off-shoulder tops, tulip dresses, wavy prints, flowing models will decorate.	Baggy styles, square tunics, shapeless skirts.
Apple	Emphasis on the shoulders and chest: dresses with vertical elements, with a belt above the waist and a deep neckline, Bermuda skirts. Bombers and anything that demonstrates slender legs will do.	Straight dresses, tight tops, skinny pants, defined waist, tucked into pants or skirt, high waist.

In order not to waste efforts on exhausting diets and strict complexes to combat excess weight, muscle loss and slow metabolism, it is worth working closely with the body, or rather, striving to give the body a healthy outline and harmony. And the sooner, the more effective.

The following ways of working on the body are welcome:

• regular yoga with meditation, proper breathing and relaxation;
• modern dance classes and concentration exercises;
• stretching and posture improvement according to the Pilate method;
• correct distribution of body weight and harmony in posture according to the Alexander technique;
• relieving stress, tension, changing habitual motor functions using the Feldenkrais method;
• a surge of physical energy with the help of a regular simple set of exercises of your choice;
• proper healthy eating in small portions, mainly vegetables, fruits, grains and protein foods, a minimum of fat and sugar.

For example, women with a skinny fat figure (thin women with problematic thick parts of the body) will have to build muscle and make them as elastic as possible, enhance metabolic processes in the body and eliminate excess fat. Along with proper nutrition, effective fitness training can help in this: alternating cardio and strength training (interval training), performing strength elements, exercises with dumbbells and a barbell, and special simulators.

An amazingly beautiful body, perfectly fitting clothes, easy gait and health will magically lift the mood and self-esteem of any lady, give a feeling of youth and attractive sexuality. Therefore, you need to treat your body like an old friend, and remember that health is the most important wealth.

Hourglass

This type of figure is characterized by a narrow waist, the same proportions of the waist and chest, the classic 90/60/90, unchanged even when gaining excess weight.

The main features of this species:

• proportionality of the bottom and top of the body;
• narrow "wasp" waist;
• fat deposits may be visible in the chest and thighs;
• X-shaped silhouette.

The ideal solution for this version of the figure can be almost anything that emphasizes the figure.

What exactly fits:

• fitted style;
• trapezoidal skirts, pencil shape;
• high rise in trousers and jeans;
• belts at the waist;
• outerwear with a smell and belts.

Features of the physique should be taken into account when choosing the details of the toilet. Keep simplicity in mind - a philosophy over which time has no power, especially since this simple style is always elegant.

No need to choose:

• baggy outfits, under which the perfect physique is hidden;
• straight cut clothes for wearing in the winter season;
• waist, outlined above or below the lumbar line in outerwear;
• any low-cut trousers.

Rectangle

A similar type is distinguished by the same size of the chest and hips, an ill-defined waist line or the absence of one. The physique is more athletic and athletic than the previous category, and the waistline can be emphasized with some clothing options. Focus on slender legs and waist, balance the bottom and top of the body.

A few wardrobe items that do not contradict the specific features of the body design:

• fitted outerwear, winter trench coat with a belt;
• top with thin spaghetti straps and jackets with cut sleeves "flashlight";
• trapeze skirts or flared sun skirts, wrapped or with a hint of a slit;
• classic and bottom fit trousers;
• capris and trousers of a classic cut;
• straight line cut jackets and trench coats.

Now let's move on to what the owners of the "rectangle" figure should remember.

Remove "rectangles" from the wardrobe:

• baggy clothes;
• elements that show too much of the abdomen;
• straight-cut dresses and raincoats;
• T-shirts, turtlenecks and sleeveless crop tops with a deep neckline;
• leggings, tight classic skirts.

Triangle

The mistress of such a figure is distinguished by broad shoulders, slender legs and flat buttocks like men. First of all, shoulders, arms and cheeks gain weight.

Other salient features include:

• dedicated side parts;
• the top of the body is longer and more broad-boned than the bottom;
• fat is deposited more in the area of ​​\u200b\u200bthe thighs, gluteal muscles and abdomen;
• a lot of weight emphasizes the triangularity of the figure.

When choosing clothes, try to visually narrow the width of the shoulders, but not as much as the hourglass. The lower part should not be enlarged.

The most advantageous look:

• a choice of light colors for the bottom, a slightly fitting silhouette and a print;
• hard fabrics and youth sports style;
• cut things like a man;
• vests, long jewelry;
• models with raglan sleeves, T-shirts with three-quarter sleeves;
• hairstyles with long hair.

No need to choose a bob hairstyle and focus on the upper body.

Tips that ladies with A-texture should not wear:

• large earrings, scarves and hats;
• soft fabrics, flounces and lace;
• any contrasts (small with large, tops with thin straps);
• sleeveless t-shirts.

Inverted triangle (T-shaped)

The figure is characterized by broad shoulders and a less pronounced femoral part. The advantages include the length of the legs and, accordingly, the harmony of the woman herself. The tricks of stylists help to add harmony to the image, reducing the shoulder line, emphasizing the hips and highlighting the waist.

Upper and lower body balancing tasks:

• large belts at the waist;
• trapezoid trench coat;
• pants with a waist below the belt;
• frill on dresses below the belt line;
• pleated skirts and large patch pockets;
• square armholes on tops and blouses.

The ideal would be a minimum of details in the chest area, a straight cut of clothes, the maximum number of elements in the hips.

• elongated straight coat, shapeless jackets;
• boat neckline on sweaters and overhead shoulders;
• voluminous sweater;
• straight leggings and dark slacks;
• a narrow flat skirt (length - to the ankle).

A circle

Distinctive features of a figure of such a plan are the same passing parameters of the chest, hips, waist with a rounded shape from the shoulders to the waist, a predisposition to fullness, thin legs. The upper part of the body of the "apple" woman stands out with her prominent breasts.

It is recommended to carefully monitor the calorie content of foods and not gain excess weight. Remember that most often fat deposits accumulate on the stomach. With a rounded shape of the figure, you need to dress in such a way as to visually lengthen the proportions of the body, highlight the waistline, emphasize the slimness of the legs and shoulder area.

What clothes to wear is preferable:

• coats, dresses, raincoats, narrowed at the top and expanded at the bottom;
• blouses and T-shirts with a triangular roll-out of the neck;
• flared trousers to add voluminous pockets;
• vertical grooves on clothes of discreet color;
• with huge designs, frills and drapery at the hips.

To solve all the problems of disproportion and compensate for the shortcomings, you need to know the main points and correct visual defects with the help of some recommendations.

It will not decorate the “circle” figure at all:

• clothes that are tight or tightly fitting to the body;
• short sleeveless tops and sweaters tied at the neck;
• golf badlon;
• frills, decorated details on the shoulder;
• too tight slacks, jeans without pockets and low rise;
• tight-fitting, tight pencil skirts.

Rhombus

The type is distinguished by fullness at the waistline (sometimes it is veiled), the shoulders and hips are narrower compared to the central region of the body, the arms seem thin - all this resembles a rhombus in shape. Fat deposits are noticeable mainly in the abdomen.

How to present yourself effectively:

• highlight the upper body (shoulders, arms) with different elements of clothing;
• choose skinny or very narrow models of trousers;
• wear outrageous shoes with 7-8 cm heels or stilettos;
• focus on the waist, use wide models of belts.

It is not recommended to wear colored things narrowed at the waist so that the “service” does not turn out to be “bearish”.

Straight

The even silhouette of the physique is distinguished by slender legs, narrowly directed hips and more sweeping shoulder lines, with a weakly defined waist or completely inconspicuous against the background of the hips, which, even after the lady recovers, remain slender. Weight gain immediately becomes noticeable in the upper part of the figure. The outfit for this part of the body is selected a couple of sizes larger than for the bottom.

Many complain about the angularity of the form and masculine parameters. We observe such direct body proportions in famous personalities - Anna Kournikova, Demi Moore, Anastasia Volochkova. A common mistake of a straight build is highlighting the waist with belts and fitted clothes. We focus on the legs and properly mask the broad shoulders.

If the characteristic main feature is straight lines, then the cut of clothes must be chosen, of course, straight.

What we wear:

• cardigans, jackets, tops, blouses of exclusively direct tailoring, in the style of Coco Chanel;
• shoulders and sleeves, respectively, are straight;
• you can dilute the wardrobe with short tops (if the body shape is ideal);
• Designers do not recommend filling blouses and blouses, as an exception, you can slightly allow the volume on top to align the silhouette;
• cutout shape - square, trapezoid and triangle;
• A-line skirt made of rigid fabric;
• narrowed down trousers, pipe trousers and banana trousers, it is better to choose straight trousers with arrows, not very flared from the knees;
• skirts and trousers with a low waist.

Decorate the waistline with belts and darts is not worth it.

What doesn't fit at all:

• sleeves that add volume (raglan and puff sleeves);
• strongly flared trousers;
• coarse knit and massive structures;
• striped lines, two-tone houndstooth pattern.

skinny

The Russian version of the name is fat thin people, and their weight is normal, but their appearance is rather ridiculous due to sagging muscles, cellulite, folds of sagging skin and protruding bones. Of course, you can hide such defects with the magic of clothes, but undressing on the beach will be quite problematic.

Skinny fats often veer in styles, although even baggy shapes will make it possible to look beautiful. There is a suspicion of bloggers that fashionable clothes are sewn just for this kind of shape. Not everyone will allow themselves to wear short shorts or tight leggings; for many, such clothes will add volume and emphasize figure defects. Here, the calculation is also on the proportions of the skinny, who can afford to flaunt in fashionable new clothes, their narrow hips and slender legs look attractive.

Additional Tips:

• choose a plain straight style;
• wear tight-fitting clothes, a more massive top;
• without fear to dress up in crazy culottes, fashionable plastic raincoats;
• the perfect everyday combination - jeans and jumpers;
• minimalist style is suitable for a party;
• asymmetrical hairstyles and long straight hair will look good.

Thin plump women will not suit floral colors and pea "field", puffy skirts and bourgeois style of decoration at a jam session.

athletic

The most athletic body shape, distinguished by athletic characteristics: wide shoulder girdle, large chest volume, narrow waist and hips, there is almost no difference between their volumes. Often such forms belong to athletes with physically developed shoulders. The main advantages of athletic proportions are a thin waist and a large chest size. Proper adjustment will narrow the shoulders and visually expand the hips, while emphasizing the waistline.

To visually create the perfect hourglass figure, you need to follow these simple tips:

• the top is simple and tight, the bottom is voluminous and luxurious;
• flared skirts with tucks, maxi skirts with pockets, pleats and lots of details will look good;
• there are banana trousers with darts and patch pockets;
• armhole sleeveless tops;
• wide trousers that look like pajamas;
• a good choice is a low-cut top.

Shoulders do not need to be highlighted by any elements of clothing, scarves should be worn moderately, without wrapping around the neck repeatedly.

Athletic physique will not suit:

• batwing sleeves;
• overhead large shoulder pads;
• sleeve pleats and puff sleeves;
• neck "boat", horizontal stripes in the area of ​​the shoulder girdle and chest;
• oversized scarves.

The color palette is two-layered: the top is monophonic, neutral-calm, the bottom is colored, attracting attention. Difficulties in choosing a set of clothes, for example, a jacket plus a skirt, are solved by individual tailoring or buying unassembled clothes.

Lollipop

Many Hollywood stars are considered "lollipops", for whom it is easier to choose an evening outfit than to create a casual image. A feature of this form are broad shoulders and long graceful legs, not clearly defined or very thin waist, large chest.

What suits lollipops:

• high heel;
• folds and frills on the chest;
• trousers of a straight silhouette;
• wraparound sweatshirts;
• triangular neckline blouses, boat neck pattern.

You should not wear baggy things, elongated skirts, large beads, high-waisted trousers, flared trousers, large hanging sweaters, boleros and a high stand-up collar.

How to determine your body type

The ability to dress properly begins with knowing the features of your figure. Many, due to a schematic, combined classification, cannot highlight the main features of their physique, which makes it difficult to choose the right clothes.

To find out what type of female physique you belong to, you need to conduct an introspection of the body right in front of the mirror dressing table. To do this, use the method of comparative analysis to calculate the proportions of the shoulders, hips and waist. Simple calculations will allow you to find the obtained dimensions in the description of the properties of the figure and lean towards a certain type of physique.

How to make calculations and decide on belonging to a certain complexion:

1. Measure the parameters of the constituent parts of the body - shoulders / waist / hips. We measure volumes using a centimeter tape.
2. If the waist and hips are the same, and the waist is 20 cm or more smaller, then the figure can be correlated with an hourglass.
3. Equal values ​​of all parameters indicate that the owner belongs to the shape of a rectangle.
4. Pears have hips that are 10-15 cm larger than the shoulder girdle, and 20 cm wider than the waist.
5. Persons with a chest volume 5 cm larger than the hips belong to the triangle.
6. The same top belongs to the hostess with the shape of an apple. The hips, most often, are less than 10 cm, and the midline of the body has the largest amount of volume.

It is quite clear that there are practically no ideal proportions of the body, there are disadvantages inherent in each textured type and individual advantages. It's all about the correct disguise of unwanted details and skillfully emphasizing the winning sides. It is important to know what type you relate to and what is inherent in it in order to flawlessly choose an outfit and properly complete your wardrobe.

The video will tell you how to choose an individual style according to the type of figure.

Each woman is a unique person who differs not only in character and mindset, but also in appearance. However, most of them still strive to get closer to certain standards and exhaust themselves with strict, as well as training in the gym. But few people know that it is possible to achieve the desired results if you manage to correctly

Most people like to measure, categorize and fit everything to certain standards. The female figure did not go unnoticed, the parameters of which were divided by experts into several types. Now, having learned how to do and evaluate the results correctly, each representative of the fair sex can hide her shortcomings or emphasize her advantages.

Data such as the structure of the skeleton, the proportions and nature of body lines are laid down at the genetic level, and no matter how much a woman adheres to all sorts of diets, she most likely will not be able to achieve the notorious parameters of 90-60-90. So why then should you learn to determine your type of figure.

First of all, such knowledge will help in the following:

• choose a beautiful and stylish one that hides flaws and emphasizes the dignity of the physique;
• select an individual schedule to deal with problem areas of the body;
• choose a nutrition system to make adjustments and maintain optimal shape.

Often, girls begin to worry about their reflection in the mirror almost at adolescence, but it is worth remembering that at 12-14 years old, body parameters are not only disproportionate, but also very far from the cherished standards. Pregnancy and childbirth also leave their mark on the figure. Therefore, it is important to take into account such factors and not rush to be picky about your forms and try to correct them with the help of exhausting workouts and diets.

How to determine the type of figure?

Doctors and fitness trainers prefer to determine the type of figure by the wrist, thus dividing the physique into:

• asthenic (wrist girth less than 15 cm);
• hypersthenic (more than 18 cm);
• normosthenic (from 15 to 17 cm).

They also classify body shapes according to the metabolic processes that take place in the body. But more popular are the methods of comparing physique with fruits and geometric elements. According to this, the figure is conventionally divided into 5 types based on the proportions of the body. In order to determine them, you only need a centimeter tape and simple calculations that take into account the ratio of hips, shoulders, chest and waist.

Measurements should be taken as follows:

• The bust can be measured over a regular bra (no push-up), at the most protruding point, around the back. It is important to keep the centimeter parallel to the floor.
• Waist measurements are taken at the narrowest part of the body, just above the navel. The abdomen should not protrude or retract.
• Hips are measured at their widest point (from the bone around the buttocks). The tape is also kept parallel to the floor.
• Shoulder width is a flat measurement. It is enough to measure the distance from one shoulder to the other.

At the time of measurement, the centimeter must not be pressed too tightly against the body, otherwise the obtained values ​​\u200b\u200bwill be incorrect.

When all the data is received, you can start counting. In an attempt to simplify the task, some girls prefer to use special online calculators that can be found on sites, but it is not so difficult to determine the type of figure by comparing it with the description, and then checking everything using the Bayou equations.

Body type "Apple"

A characteristic feature of such a physique is the absence of a pronounced waist, with almost the same volume of the chest and hips. Owners most often suffer from overweight (especially fat accumulates in the back and abdomen). They also have rather high chests and long, slender legs.

Often the classification of such a physique is called O-shaped, rhombus, circle or oval.

It is worth noting that if a woman with the above forms gets rid of the fat located in the abdomen, then her figure will become close to the hourglass.

Pear body type

The type is considered the most attractive and feminine, since such a figure is distinguished by narrow shoulders, small breasts and wide hips (hips are 5% wider than the bust or shoulders).

To determine, you need to multiply the largest indicator (usually shoulder width) by 0.95. The result obtained is compared with other parameters.

At the same time, the woman’s stomach is flat, the waist is well distinguished and extra folds do not appear on it. Often, the owners of such forms have the upper part a little longer. To confirm your conclusions, you need to divide the volume of the hips or shoulders by the volume of the chest. If the resulting figure is more than 1.05, then the woman has a Pear body type.

Formula: OB/SP = or > 1.05 (where OB is hip measurement and SP is shoulder width).

Such shapes are also called A-shaped, trapezoid, triangle or spoon.

"Hourglass"

This type of physique is often called the most harmonious, since its owners have almost equal hips and shoulders. At the same time, the waist remains clearly defined regardless of weight gain, and the top and bottom of the body are proportional to each other.

Other names for the shapes are "Eight", "Guitar", Figure X".

For women “ ”, the waist circumference is 25% less than the volume of the chest, hips and shoulders. So, if the waist parameters are divided by the parameters of the bust or shoulders, then the resulting number will be less than 0.75.

Formula: FROM/OB = or< 0,75.

"Inverted Triangle"

Often this type is also called T-shaped, V-shaped, "Strawberry" or "Carrot". Women with such a figure are distinguished by narrow hips, medium-sized breasts, a thin waist and rather massive shoulders. In addition, the upper part of their body is much shorter than the lower one, and their legs are always slender and long.

It is worth noting that it is the type of figure that is often found in athletes who are fond of swimming or tennis.

This is due to the fact that excess fat accumulates only in the neck, chest, arms and shoulders.

With an inverted triangle body shape, the bust or shoulders are 5% larger than the hips. So, if the parameters of the upper part are divided by the indicators of the lower one, then a number greater than 1.05 will be obtained.

Formula: OG/OB = or > 1.05.

"Rectangle"

This type of figure can be conditionally compared with, since it is distinguished by the absence of a clearly defined waist. In owners of such forms, the volume of the chest is almost equal to the volume of the hips, despite the fact that the physique looks athletic. The chest is quite wide, the hips do not stand out in any way, and protruding pelvic bones are visible on them. Also, in women with such a figure, the stomach may bulge forward.

Such a structure is known as the "Banana" or "Ruler", as well as the H-shaped.

The main problem of the owners of this body shape- this is a tendency to and a strong muscular relief, making them look like men or teenagers.

With a rectangular body type, the waist is 25% less than the width of the shoulders or the volume of the chest. At the same time, the difference between the parameters of the bust, hips and shoulders should be within 5%.

Calculator

To calculate the Pignet index, fill out the form below:

Since ancient times, people have tried to connect the proportions of the human body with his health. There are many mathematical models that can be used to classify a person's physique into different types. People with different body types react differently to the same disease-causing factors. This knowledge can be used to prevent certain diseases. One of these indicators is called the Pignet index.

The Pinier index is an indicator that characterizes the body type of a person. It is important for the attending physician to know this indicator in order to determine which diseases may threaten the patient. Nowadays, people who care about their health are trying to know their body type and prevent possible deviations in health.

How to determine the Pignet index yourself

The calculator will give you your Pinier index. When using a calculator, you will always be sure that you did not make a mistake in the calculation. Consider different body types of a person.

Asthenic (slim body type)

The obtained values ​​of the Pinier index are more than thirty. Such people have an underestimated position of the diaphragm, the chest has an elongated shape. A person has a long neck, arms and legs, narrow shoulders, poorly developed muscles. People of this type are usually tall.

Small heart, elongated lungs. The skin is thin and dry, the layer of subcutaneous fat is very thin. Such people have low blood pressure, insufficient function of the adrenal glands and gonads, but enhanced function of the thyroid gland and pituitary gland.

They have a high risk of developing VVD and respiratory diseases. In the blood, low cholesterol, insufficient trace elements and glucose. Metabolism is high.

Normostenik (medium body type)

The obtained values ​​of the Pinier index are in the range from ten to thirty. These people have a proportional physique. They have well-developed bones and muscles, broad shoulders, athletic physique. They often suffer from rheumatism, hypertension and stomach disorders.

Hypersthenic (stocky body type)

The obtained values ​​of the Pinier index are less than ten. In such people, the diaphragm is overestimated, the stomach is enlarged. The heart is enlarged and located horizontally. These people are usually short, stocky, with a short chest. The neck, legs and arms are short, the face is round. They have enhanced function of the gonads and adrenal glands, the thyroid gland does not work enough. They have a predisposition to overweight and the accumulation of subcutaneous fat.

They have a high risk of metabolic diseases (diabetes mellitus), atherosclerosis and hypertension. The blood has a high content of cholesterol, hemoglobin and red blood cells. Infectious diseases they get sick less often.

The importance of determining the Pignet index in childhood

The body type of a person is largely a hereditary factor. But in childhood and adolescence, it is possible to adjust the type of physique. This is facilitated by the correct upbringing of healthy habits, sports, healthy eating.

Therefore, it is very important to determine the type of physique even in childhood in order to skillfully and professionally correct behavioral habits. This will be the key to human health for many years.

The fact that there are different types of figure knows, perhaps, every representative of the fair sex. But few people know how to correctly determine their own structure, based on generally accepted standards. Determine the type of figure correctly.

Until the so-called body measurement calculator was invented, many girls were guided by the cherished 90-60-90, trying to get as close as possible to this “norm”. It turned out that everyone has their own norm and it depends on many factors. Determining the type of figure is quite simple.

measurements

In order to know your figure, you must measure it. No need to just guess, ask a friend to help with the measurement and build on the numbers you get. Before measurements, we advise you to put on the underwear that you prefer to wear most often for more accurate measurements.

Shoulders

The most difficult measurement relates to the shoulders, so you definitely can’t do without help here. The measuring tape should make a circle from one of your shoulders to the other, bending around your back and collarbones quite tightly.

Bust

Stretch the measuring tape evenly over the protruding points of the chest and back without pulling. Make sure that on the back, the tape lies at the bottom of the shoulder blades.

Waist

To measure the waist, the tape should tightly hug the thinnest part of the abdomen. This line is located just above the navel, 1-2 centimeters.

Hips

Hips are measured at the most convex points of the buttocks. If there is a riding breeches effect, we recommend that you duplicate the measurement by measuring the volume below the buttocks along the protruding lines of the riding breeches. If the result is much less than the previous one, use the second measurements.

Now that you know your basic body measurements, you can use these numbers to further define your body type.

inverted triangle

Your body type is an inverted triangle if your shoulders or chest are 5% larger than your hips. For example, the shoulders are 72 cm, and the line of the pelvis is 68 cm or less.

Rectangle

Keep following the numbers. “Rectangular” is a figure in which the waist is less than the shoulders and bust by 25% or all components have a difference of 5%. For example, your shoulders are 72 cm, and your waist is 64 or more.
