1
WRIST CIRCUMFERENCE
The maximum circumference of the wrist, measured at the most exposed bone (at the Ulna bone protrusion).
2
FOREARM CIRCUMFERENCE
The circumference measured around the forearm muscle, at the point of maximum circumference while flexed (as done in the bicep flex position) with the fist clenched and rotates 180 degrees (away from head).
3
BICEP CIRCUMFERENCE
The circumference measured on the bicep while flexed in the typical bicep flex position.
4
NECK CIRCUMFERENCE
The circumference measured at 2 cm below the Adam’s apple in the front, and at the 7th cervical vertebra in the back (i.e. NOT horizontally).
5
CHEST CIRCUMFERENCE
The measurement of the chest in its maximum extension during normal breathing, measured with the person standing, passing the measuring tape horizontally around the torso over the scapula bones and just under the armpits.
6
WAIST CIRCUMFERENCE
The circumference measured horizontally around the waist, just above the highest point of each of the iliac crest bones, around the navel, during normal breathing, on the person standing, with a relaxed abdomen.
7
HIP CIRCUMFERENCE
The measurement taken horizontally around the hips, at the most protruding part of the buttocks (the peak when viewed from the side), or the most protruding part of the hips if more pronounced than buttocks.
8
THIGH CIRCUMFERENCE
The measurement of the thigh taken horizontally at the point of maximum circumference, just below the trunk.
9
SHOULDER WIDTH
The maximum distance measured along the back, which goes from the right humerus to the left humerus (the most protruding bones of the shoulder), measured in a straight line not following the curvature of the back.
10
BACK LENGTH (NECK TO WAIST)
To facilitate taking measurements, tie a string horizontally around the waist at the highest point of the Iliac crest bones, then measure down the spine from the most protruding bone at the base of the neck (the 7th vertebrae) to the waistline.
11
SLEEVE LENGTH FROM SHOULDER (ARM STRAIGHT)
The distance from the most protruding point of the shoulder to the wrist (on the end of the Ulna bone), measured with the arm relaxed at the person’s side.
12
SIDE LENGTH (WAIST TO ANKLE)
The distance between the highest point of the iliac crest bone and ankle, measured along the person’s side while standing in an upright position.
13
INSIDE LENGTH (CROTCH TO ANKLE)
The distance between the lowest point of the trunk and the ankle, measured perpendicular to the ground, with the person standing straight, feet shoulder width apart, and the weight of the body evenly distributed on the two legs.
14
KNEE TO ANKLE
The distance between the middle of the knee and the ankle, measured perpendicular to the ground, with the person standing straight, feet shoulder width apart, and the weight of the body evenly distributed on the two legs.
15
CALF CIRCUMFERENCE
The circumference measured horizontally around the calf, at the point of maximum circumference.
16
NECK TO ANKLE
The distance from the most protruding bone at the base of the neck (the 7th vertebrae) down to the ankle, measured along the person’s backside while standing in an upright position.
17
HEIGHT
The distance measured vertically between the top of the head and the soles of the person’s feet (without shoes) in an upright position, standing with feet together.
