shoulders - shoulder width for males

The shoulder width is evaluated on the basis of a comparison of distances between acromion dx. and sin. and the maximum hip width. The maximum hip width stands for the distance between the two remotest points in the hip area in one plane. In males, this trait is divided into three categories: 1. narrow shoulders (a difference up to 10 %), 2. moderately wide shoulders (a difference from 10 % to 15 %), 3. wide shoulders (a difference above 15 %).
