Corpo e estética: um estudo sobre padrão corporal feminino gerado pelos exercícios físicos e a construção de tabela de medidas para jeanswear

Abstract

The number of bodybuilding and physical conditioning centers is constant expanding in number of franchises and adepts in Brazil. Among the new supporters, the majority, in 2014 became the female public. Encouraged by the thinness model and the valorization of the body by the media, women started recurring increasingly to bodybuilding as an alternative to lose weight and to win muscular definition, in special in the hips and glutei. Nevertheless, this fact creates an apparel suitability problem, in special to denim trousers. The denim apparel pieces do not fit in the lower limbs; therefore, this research aims to suggest solutions to this necessity through the elaboration of a new anthropometric table and suggesting the utilization of adjustments in the patterns used to manufacture these products.
