Everything should be perfect in a person. Everyone knows about it, but sometimes they just forget. Today, society is quite strict about overweight people, promoting slimness and thinness. But how not to go too far in any of these areas? Is it possible to harm yourself in the pursuit of beauty?
About norms
Today, there are several norms of weight for a person, and, accordingly, formulas for their calculation. It is worth noting that American, more precisely, even Hollywood calculations, are somewhat different from the recommendations of domestic doctors regarding the parameters and volume of the figure. And if adults do not need to ruin their body, achieving abnormal ideals of beauty, such behavior for adolescents can be even extremely dangerous. Therefore, everyone who wants to achieve an ideal figure needs to know what is the ideal ratio of weight and height in adolescents, as well as in adults. By the way, the numbers will be different.
Body Types
Studying the ratio of weight and height in adolescents, it should be noted that previously it is also worth considering the type of human physique . It can be thin-boned, or asthenic - thin bones, fairly long limbs, neck, narrow face. A broad-bonded physique - hypersthenic - distinguishes people with a wide chest, hips, relatively short legs. Normostenic - a normal body type - represents people with a classic figure and standard parameters. Determining the type by eye is not so easy. But here it is definitely possible by measuring the circumference of the wrist of the leading (working) hand:
- asthenics - less than 16 cm;
- normostenics - range 16-18.5 cm;
- hypersthenics - more than 18.5 cm.
Tables
The easiest way to determine it may be a table of the ratio of height and weight, through which you can find out your ideal parameters. There are a huge number of these tables - separately for men, women, children and adolescents. It is only necessary for your height to find the ideal weight figure and maintain it at the desired mark.
Formulas
The ideal ratio of weight and height in adolescents can also be determined using special formulas. Only here it is worth considering that not all of them are suitable for children. For example, the Ketle formula for determining BMI - body mass index should be used exclusively for people over twenty years of age. For teenagers, Brock's formula can be suitable, which takes into account not only the ratio of weight and height in adolescents, but also the type of physique and age of the child. Additionally, you can use the McCallum formula and calculate the ratio of the girths of the arms, legs, neck, etc.
Body support
Having determined the ideal ratio of weight and height of a teenager, do not despair and quickly look for an effective way out if the figure is not at all like it. It is worth remembering that adolescents should not starve, sit on strict diets and exhaust themselves with heavy physical exercises. At this age, everything is good in moderation. If you eat right, sleep enough time, have daily feasible physical activity, visit the fresh air and lead as active a lifestyle as possible, extra pounds simply will not be gained. And if you change your life and turn in the right direction, they simply will eventually leave themselves without violence against the body.
