1.1. CHARACTERISTICS
► Bone structure: the development, size and relief of the bones will
determine the angles of the face, skull and body.
► Size and shape of the different parts of the body: these are
determined on the three spatial axes, each being defined as large,
small, long, short, broad, thin, round...
►Metabolic activity: the more active the individual is, the greater the
energy expenditure, the less fat is stored and the learner he/she is.
Mesomorph or athletic:
People with a slender figure in which vertical lines predominate, who
have a better balance between body fat and muscle mass Head with
bony, prominent facial features and elongated oval face: strong hair
and thick skin. The trunk is long and muscular, trapezoidal with a
narrow pelvis: the volume of the thorax is greater than that of the
abdomen with strong, broad shoulders: strong limbs, large hands and
feet.
Ectomorph or asthenic
People with a slender build, thin and sinewy surface relief, with little
body fat and difficulty in gaining weight. Small head and long,
slender neck: narrow, oval face: narrow, tapering nose. Thin, pale
skin, narrow, elongated trunk, flat chest and broad pelvis; with
narrow, sloping shoulders and slender, slender limbs, with long,
narrow hands and feet.
WHAT IS YOUR CONSTITUTION LIKE? People with a slender
build, thin and sinewy surface relief.
HOW MUCH BODY FAT? Little body fat.
WEIGHT? Difficulty in gaining weight.
WHAT IS THE HEAD LIKE? Small head.
AND THE NECK? Long, slender neck.
AND THE FACE? Narrow, oval face
AND THE SKIN? Pale skin.
AND THE TRUNK? Elongated trunk.
AND THE LIMBS? Slender limbs.
There are four types of female bodies. The names of each type vary
according to
the shape is compared to a geometric figure or object.
HOW IS A WOMAN'S BODY TYPE DEFINED? A woman's body
type is defined by her genes, and is mainly determined by the
proportions and shape of the skeleton as it develops.
IS THERE A BODY THAT IS BETTER? No one body type is better
than another.
WHAT DOES A WOMAN'S APPEARANCE DEPEND ON? A
woman's appearance depends, to a large extent, on the care she puts
into her personal image.
HOW DO THE NAMES OF FEMALE BODY TYPES VARY? There
are four types of female bodies. The names of each type vary
according to the shape is compared to a geometric figure or object.
TRIANGLE OR BELL
Also called but, it is characterized by shoulders much smaller than the
hips, with a symmetrical chest and waist.
INVERTED TRIANGLE
The shoulders are slightly wider than the hips.
HOW IS IT CHARACTERIZED? The shoulders are slightly wider
than the hips.
HOURGLASS OR DIABOLO
The width of the hips and shoulders are almost equal, the
circumference of the chest and hips are symmetrical, and they have a
very defined waist.
DESCRIBE WHAT IT LOOKS LIKE WITH YOU OWN WORDS?
Hips and shoulders are almost the same, the chest and the hips are
symmetrical, and his waist is very defined.
RECTANGLE OR CYLINDER
The width of the shoulders, chest, waist and hips are almost the same
size, with symmetrical girths.
DESCRIBE WHAT IT LOOKS LIKE WITH YOU OWN WORDS?
All the body part is almost the same size, with symmetrical girths.
2. ANTHROPOMETRIC VARIABLES
2.1. WEIGHT
Body weight is made up of fat mass and lean weight, which is the
fat-free body mass or lean mass. Lean mass, in turn, is composed of
muscle mass, viscera, bone, blood and lymph. Some factors that
determine weight are: age, height, build, genetic factors and lifestyle
factors such as physical activity, stress and diet.
WHICH COMPONENTS MAKE UP THE BODY WEIGHT? Fat
mass and lean weight are the components that make up the body
weight.
WHAT DOES LEAN MASS CONSIST OF? Lean mass consists of
muscle mass, viscera, bone, blood and lymph.
WHAT FACTORS DETERMINE WEIGHT? Some factors that
determine weight are: age, height, build, genetic factors.
WHAT OTHER FACTORS MAY BE RELATED TO WEIGHT?
Lifestyle factors such as physical activity, stress and diet.
Weight is the most common anthropometric measurement, expressed
in kilograms (kg). When assessing weight, we use scales or balances
and observe the following precautions when weighing:
The person stands in the center of the scale platform, distributing the
weight equally between both legs, in an upright position, with the
arms hanging sideways, without moving and without anything in the
surrounding area coming into contact with the body.
Rome:
The shape of the head and especially the shape of the face determines
many aspects of a person: the way the hair is styled, haircuts, which
accessories can be used on the face, the type of make-up to be used or
beard styles, are examples of how the shape of a face influences the
styling of the image.
WHAT DETERMINES THE SHAPE OF A PERSON'S HEAD AND
FACE? The shape of the head and especially the shape of the face
determines many aspects of a person.
HORIZONTAL PLANE:
The proportions are studied, as well as the disposition and parallelism
of the lines of the forehead, eyebrows, eyes, nose, lips, cheekbones,
jaw and chin.
Four imaginary lines are drawn, which divide the face into three
zones:
VERTICAL PLANE:
The oval is determined by the hairline and the line where the
cheekbones, jaw and chin meet.
There are seven types of faces, of which the oval is considered the
perfect face shape, as it has balanced proportions. It presents a slight
difference between the vertical axis that predominates over the
horizontal one.
FACE TYPES
WIDE FACES
1-The round face is characterized by its circumferential shape and
small chin.
2- The square face is a wide face, in which the difference between
height and width is not very great.
NARROW FACES
3- The elongated face is characterized by a clear disproportion of the
vertical axis over the horizontal axis, which makes it appear as a
narrow face and often has a long nose.
The profile view must be balanced. For its study we draw imaginary
lines, one from the forehead to the chin passing through the lips
(facial plane), another that goes from the forehead tangent to the back
of the nose, forming with the facial plane the nasofacial angle and a
third from the tip of the nose to the chin, which forms a triangle with
the previous ones. A balanced profile is considered to be one in which
the nose presents a smooth angle with the forehead and chin.
WHAT SHOULD THE PROFILE VIEW LOOK LIKE? The profile
view must be balanced.
HOW IS IT STUDIED? For its study we draw imaginary lines.
WHAT IS A BALANCED PROFILE CONSIDERED TO BE? A
balanced profile is considered to be one in which the nose presents a
smooth angle with the forehead and chin.
