Ideal leg-to-ankle ratio

When the body ideal changes from ten years to ten years, trying to fit your body into a particular shape may be a failure proposition. Comparing the curvilinear beauty of the 1950s with the lean beauty of the 1960s, you can see how the ideal figure of the past suddenly fell out of fashion. Ideal body proportions are often considered part of world trends and fashions. However, in bodybuilding, the measurements needed to get a figure like Steve Reeves, the bodybuilding champion of the 1940s and 1950s, are proportional.

Notes

Generally speaking, the medical proportion of calf and ankle is not accurate and ideal. If so, most people in the world probably won't meet it because everyone has different shapes and different genes. A 2009 Wall Street Journal article pointed out that the average circumference of a woman's ankle is 11 inches, but that's an average, not an official ideal. Usually, the legs get thinner from the calf to the ankle. It seems that normal uncertainties can easily be manipulated by fashion and current trends.

Ulcer initially seemed to refer to an ideal appearance of the lower leg and ankle. Ulcer was either as thick or only slightly thin as the lower leg. Sometimes these ulcers are due to medical conditions, such as excessive water retention, but sometimes they are just thick ankles. An article in the Wall Street Journal pointed out that it was not until 2001 that the word became common when it was mentioned in movies.

Ankle joint may be swollen for a long time due to the influence of medical conditions such as kidney disease, hot water edema, severe sprain and surgical operation. In these cases, if it may take some time for the ankle to return to normal, or if it may swell indefinitely, you need to talk to your doctor to determine the possible outcome, rather than want to know the ideal ratio. Any significant change in ankle and leg width must be examined medically if it is not for reasons that have been diagnosed.

In the 1940s and 1950s, bodybuilder Steve Reeves'figure was called flawless by bodybuilding.com. For many years, bodybuilders have been trying to imitate it. Rivers'ratio is measured, and those who want to reach his stature must match the ratio of height to weight, as well as six different constitutional ratios. One is the ratio of ankle to leg, which should be 192% of ankle size.
