Formula
Formula: Ratio = Height (cm) / Wrist (cm). Small frame: r > 10.4. Medium: 9.6–10.4. Large: r < 9.6.
Domande Frequenti
Why use wrist circumference?
The wrist has very little fat and muscle, so its circumference closely reflects bone size. This makes it a reliable indicator of skeletal frame size.
How do I measure my wrist?
Measure around the smallest part of your wrist, just below the wrist bone (ulnar styloid process), using a flexible tape measure.
Why does frame size matter?
Frame size affects ideal body weight calculations. A person with a large frame naturally weighs more than someone of the same height with a small frame.
