Shoulder to Waist Ratio Calculator

Formula

The formula to calculate the Shoulder to Waist Ratio (SWR) is:

\[ SWR = \frac{S}{W} \]

Where:

\( SWR \) is the Shoulder to Waist Ratio
\( S \) is the shoulder measurement (in)
\( W \) is the waist measurement (in)

What is Shoulder to Waist Ratio?

The Shoulder to Waist Ratio (SWR) is a measurement used to determine the proportion between the width of the shoulders and the width of the waist. It is often used in fitness and health assessments to evaluate body symmetry and physical attractiveness.

Example Calculation

Let's consider an example:

Shoulder Measurement (S): 50 in
Waist Measurement (W): 30 in

Using the formula to calculate the Shoulder to Waist Ratio:

\[ SWR = \frac{50}{30} \approx 1.67 \]

This shows that with a shoulder measurement of 50 inches and a waist measurement of 30 inches, the shoulder to waist ratio would be approximately 1.67.
