- We define constitution type. We measure circle of the bottleneck on wrist and we carry ourselves to one of three types. Astenik. At people with this type the longitudinal sizes prevail: long hands and legs, thin bones, muscles weak. The wrist circle at women makes up to 15 cm, men have up to 18 cm Normostenik. The proportional constitution, is characteristic correct ratio of the main sizes. The wrist circle at women makes from 15 to 17 cm, men have from 18 to 20 cm. Hypersthenic. The cross sizes it is more than longitudinal, bones heavy and thick, hips, breast and shoulders wide, short legs. The wrist circle at women makes over 17 cm, men have over 20 cm.
- We measure the weight and growth. Growth is written down in centimeters, and weight in kilograms. Other would be opportunity to measure percentage of fat in organism, but in the absence of the special equipment we can manage usual scales.
- We calculate ideal weight, using Broca's formula. - growth up to 165 cm ideal weight = growth in centimeters – 100; - height is from 166 to 175 cm ideal weight = growth in centimeters – 105; - height more than 175 cm ideal weight = growth in centimeters – 110esli at you asthenic type - we reduce value by 10% if hypersthenic - we increase by 10%. For example. You the woman growth in 1 m 170 cm, with adynamic figure: Your required weight = (170-105) - 10% = 58.5 kg.
- We consider the age. Some nutritionists recommend to consider error on age at the rate of 5% of weight for each 10 years later if to you more than fifty.
