How to measure men's chest circumference

Many people know that if you want to sell clothes online or want to order custom clothes, you must first know your own size so that the clothes fit you well. However, some people don’t know how to measure, especially some male friends who are not as careful and attentive as female friends. So how should men’s chest circumference be measured? Next, we will ask the authoritative experts to explain it to you.

Chest circumference is an indicator of the size of the chest and the development of the chest muscles, and it clearly reflects the body shape and health of the human body. When measuring, the subject stands naturally, with his feet shoulder-width apart, shoulders relaxed, and arms hanging naturally.

The measurer stands at the side of the subject, passes the upper edge of the tape measure through the lower edge of the lower corner of the shoulder blade on the back and around the chest, and places the lower edge of the tape measure on the upper edge of the nipple. The measured value is the chest circumference. The larger the value, the more developed the chest muscles are, which is beneficial to upper limb mobility; it also reflects that the chest cavity is larger, which may show that the lung function is stronger to a certain extent.

Chest circumference reflects the size of the thorax and the development of the chest muscles, and is an important indicator of physical development.

When measuring, the person being measured stands upright with both arms hanging naturally. When measuring underage females, the measurer places the tape measure horizontally at the lower corners of the two shoulder blades and the front is placed on the breast peaks to measure the circumference of the chest. When measuring adult females, the measurer places the tape measure horizontally at the lower corners of the two shoulder blades and the front is placed at the connection between the fourth rib and the sternum to measure the circumference of the chest. First measure the chest circumference when quiet, then measure the chest circumference when taking a deep breath, and finally measure the chest circumference when taking a deep breath. The difference in chest circumference when taking a deep breath and when taking a deep breath is called the respiratory difference, which can reflect the function of the respiratory organs. Generally, the respiratory difference of adults is 6-8 cm, and the respiratory difference of regular exercisers can reach more than 10 cm. When measuring, care should be taken to ensure that the person being measured does not shrug his shoulders or bend his waist when exhaling.

Method for calculating standard female measurements:

Chest circumference = height (cm) × 0.535, waist circumference = height (cm) × 0.365, hip circumference = height (cm) × 0.565. The actual calculated index and the standard index ± 3 cm are both standard. Less than 5 cm means too thin (skinny); more than 5 cm means too plump (fat).

Calculation method for standard male measurements:

Chest = height X 0.48, waist = height X 0.47, hips = height X 0.51.
