Abstract

During mathematical analysis of the height (H, m), mass (M, kg) and wrist circumference (C, dm) in 154 girls and 58 young men aged 19 years the fundamental dependence of expected body mass (Me) on its length, describing all normally built people, have been established (Me=kH3, where «k» was 12.68 conv. u for girls and 12.17 conv. u for young men). At the same time specific and high-sensitive body fatness index, unrelated with the type of constitution, was found (BFI=M/HC2, where H was expressed in dm). Last allowed to obtain the universal formula of due body mass (Md) for person of any physique (Md=HC2(BFIm), where BFIm – middle statistical BFI constituting 1.47 conv. u for girls and 1.32 conv. u for young men). Besides, the formula to calculate the individual density of body was offered. As a boundaries of normal variation of any index have been taken ±10% from its average value that corresponded to ±3s for the height, which is being the main anthropometric parameter. In conclusion it was shown that constitution of human body is closely linked with its thermoregulation, which predetermines the isometric (normosthenic) or allometric (asthenic, hypersthenic) variant of physical development of every man.
