Can a person’s body shape change?
Body shape is a concern for young men and women. Everyone hopes to have a good body shape. Even in middle age, many people pay attention to body shape. Some people, especially many ladies, have suffered a lot, spent a lot of money, and even harmed their health to pursue a perfect body shape.
Can a person’s body shape change? First of all, we have to clarify what a body shape is. Body shape is the shape of a person’s body surface, and it is an entity of mutual perception between people. Human body shape includes height, fat and thin, limb torso ratio, head and neck, waist and back posture, body surface contour, and body curve, which together constitute a human body shape. It is not a single standard for body shape based on height or fatness.
In fact, there is no completely unified body shape standard. The human body has a good body shape at any height and fatness, and there are also poor body shapes. E.g
“Tall and burly”, “short and small and capable”, “slim”, “full and round”, “small and exquisite”, these are all used to describe good body shapes of different heights and different fats and thinners. When we watch basketball games, we often admire tall and burly athletes.
Most of the people seen in gymnastics are short people. But his (her) body is beautiful, the posture is moving, the pleasing shape also gives people a kind of artistic enjoyment.
A person’s body shape can be changed, it can become better, it can become worse, and it can even become a weird body shape. The human body shape can be roughly divided into an immutable part and a variable part. The immutable part is the height and the length of the limbs after puberty.
This is caused by multiple factors such as heredity, childhood nutrition, local environment, endocrine, and so on. Once puberty has passed, it cannot be changed.
In addition, through reasonable design, scientific and orderly exercise can be changed. For example, if the shoulders are narrow and the clothes are not strong, you can strengthen the deltoid muscle exercise and make the shoulders wider, which changes the body shape.
And the original body shape can be better or worse. For example, due to improper diet, drunkenness, sleepiness, and disorderly life, it can also become a strange body shape with a big abdomen and a protruding head and neck.
There is no uniform standard for a person’s body shape. You should build your perfect body shape through exercise based on your height, fatness, and thinness. Nonetheless, there are some basic common requirements.
The head and neck should be straight and centered, and the chin should be straight down naturally. The neck should be slightly plump, neither bloated nor exposed. The Adam’s apple is not excessively protruding, while the female is plump and round.
The shoulder muscles are plump and do not collapse, and the width of the shoulders is greater than the width of the pelvis. The deltoid muscles of the shoulders should be clearly contoured for men, and appear swollen and powerful, while women are plump, rounded, and elastic. Third, the torso is in front view, the center is flat, and the pectoralis major muscles are protruding on both sides.
Female breasts are semi-circular protrusions without sagging. The upper abdomen is flat and forward not higher than the chest and the lower abdomen is not higher than the upper abdomen forward. The back view of the two shoulder blades is flat, without wing-like protrusions, the inner edges of the two shoulder blades can be close to each other when the chest is raised, and the spine is centered without scoliosis.
The physical appearance is that the periphery of the chest (level with the nipple) is larger than the periphery of the upper abdomen (the middle of the stomach), and the periphery of the upper abdomen is larger than the periphery of the waist.
The buttocks are the parts of the human body that carry on from the top to the bottom of the body, which has an important influence on the body shape, especially the female pelvis is wider than the male pelvis, and the influence is greater than that of the male.
The shape of the buttocks is approximately round, with a raised part on each side, which can be called the hip peak (anatomically called the muscle belly). The upper hip peak position can form a healthy curve with the physiological forward curvature of the waist.
Walking, running, dancing, gymnastics performances can all show physical beauty. If the hip peak is lower and widened, it will move awkwardly and affect the contour curve of the body shape. Relatively speaking, the lower limbs will appear shortly.
The shape of the thigh should be thick and thin, and the inner and outer diameter (left and right diameter) should be narrower than the front and rear diameter so that it looks strong and powerful. If the inner and outer diameters are too wide, it will approximate the shape of breeches, which will affect the curvaceous beauty of the lower limbs.
The shape of the calf is mainly manifested on the backside. The muscle abdomen is large and small, and the position is up and down, which has a greater impact on the shape of the legs. It is better for the muscled abdomen to be located in the upper 1/3 of the middle. Men are spherical and women are short fusiform. The curve is thick at the top and thin at the bottom, making it strong and strong. If the muscle belly is down and the outline is blurred, it will affect the shape of the calf.
Body contour curve The contour curves of each part of the body are connected to the body contour curve of a person.
The body contour curve of a person should not be compared from person to person but should be proportional to one’s height, fat, and thinness.
This ratio is expressed by the difference between the length of one part of itself minus the length of the other part. This difference can express the contour of the human body, help self-check for physical problems, and also serve as a planned and purposeful exercise method. The basis for changing the body shape is the difference between the shoulders, chest, waist, and pelvis:
1. Shoulder-pelvic difference: Shoulder-pelvic difference is the difference between the shoulder and the pelvis.
Shoulder-pelvic difference (cm) = shoulder circumference (cm)-pelvic circumference (cm).
Measuring method: the length of the shoulder, measured from the widest point of the shoulders, around the chest, and back.
The pelvis is the length of the anterior superior iliac spine (the protruding bones on both sides of the abdomen that can be touched by hand) as the base point, and the length is obtained by making a circle through the abdomen and buttocks.
2. Chest-waist difference: Chest-waist difference is the difference between bust and waist circumference.
Chest-waist difference (cm) = bust (cm)-waist (cm). Measuring method: the length of the bust, taking the nipple as the base point, rounding the chest and back. Waist circumference, along the upper edge of the pelvis, the thinnest part of the waist, the length obtained by making one round of the abdomen and waist.
The difference between the body parts represents the body curve. Only with the body curve can a person’s body shape be shown. Simply put: the shoulder circumference should be larger than the pelvic circumference, and the bust circumference should be larger than the waist circumference so that the body shape can look good. How big is it in comparison? The following data can be used as a reference.
Male shoulder basin difference: 14 cm to 30 cm
Chest-waist difference: 12 cm to 25 cm
Female shoulder basin difference: 4 cm to 15 cm
Chest-waist difference: 10 cm to 20 cm
Facts tell us that human body shape is not static in life, but changes unconsciously. The tall one can become shorter, the tall one can become hunched over, the thin one can become fat, and the fat one can become thinner. In addition to pathological effects, these changes are mostly caused by a lack of physical exercise.
Physical exercise has three effects on a person’s body shape: for children and adolescents, it can promote growth and shape the body shape; secondly, it can protect and prevent body shape changes; and thirdly, targeted and focused special exercises can change the body shape.
There are many sports events and people have a wide range of interests. Everyone should choose 1 or 2 sports activities according to their physical conditions and interests.
In addition, choose certain actions to prevent, protect or change your body shape according to your body shape. For example, the main influence on the body shape is the back, waist, and abdomen. In addition to general sports activities, you can add sit-ups, supine leg lifts, prone and straight forwards, etc., so that you can fully exercise your body and get up at the same time. To prevent, protect and change body shape.
