Body Frame Size
The body frame sizes are categorized into three categories: small frame,
medium frame and large frame. The reason for this is that bone structures
vary in size and density from person to person. Also men and women have
different structures. Bone mass and muscle mass both play a part in
determining your optimal weight.How to determine your body frame size?
In order to determine your body frame size, follow the below steps:
1. Extend your arm in front of your body bending your elbow at a ninety
degree angle to your body so that your forearm is parallel to your body.
2. Keep your fingers straight and turn the inside of your wrist towards your
body.
3. Place your thumb and index finger on the two prominent
bones on either side of your elbow, then measure the distance between the
bones with a tape measure or calipers.
4. Compare to the chart
below. The chart lists elbow measurements for a medium frame - if your elbow
measurement for that particular height is less than the number of inches
listed, you are a small frame - if your elbow measurement for that
particular height is more than the number of inches listed, your are a large
frame.
