We all know that someone who wants to enter the Indonesian Army has several selections and tests that must be passed.

Check it out in this article to the end.
Anthropometry in the Selection of Indonesian Army Soldiers
Anthropometry is a measurement of the dimensions of the human body. The function of anthropometry itself is to find out the ideal body size through height, weight and, the size of arm circumference, the size of the eyes, nose, and other limbs. The science of anthropometry is very related to the selection of Army soldiers. The goal is that the bodies of these Army soldiers can be maintained ideally which affects their physical activities. The following are anthropometric measurements in the selection of Army soldiers:
1. Height measurement
It is not common that the average height of members of the Army soldiers to have a high posture. It is noted that the average male should have a height of at least 1163 cm, while for females it is 157 cm. This has also become a stipulation in measuring the height of members of the Indonesian Army soldiers.
2. Weight measurement
As for weight measurement, the participants of the Indonesian Army soldiers must have an ideal weight. This ideal weight calculation is calculated by height minus 100 times 10% for men. Meanwhile, for women, it is calculated using height reduced by 100 times 15%. Then will be obtained the calculation of the ideal body weight.
3. Measurements of arm circumference, chest circumference, and abdominal circumference
Participants of prospective Army soldiers must also go through measurements of arm circumference, chest circumference, and abdominal circumference. It is necessary to form an ideal posture so that it has an appropriate size of arm circumference, chest circumference, and abdominal circumference. Because otherwise, the physical condition of the prospective participants will also interfere with military activities at the Indonesian Army training.
4. Measurement of fat under the skin
In addition to the anthropometric measurements mentioned above, it turned out that the participants of the Indonesian Army selection were also examined for the condition of the fat under the abdomen. This aims to maintain body fitness because if you have a lot of fat, it will interfere with the physical training activities of Army soldiers. For this reason, prospective participants must ensure that the condition of the fat under the abdomen remains ideal.
Anthropometric measurements in prospective Army soldiers must be accompanied by routine sports activities. For example, swimming, push-ups, running, and other physical activities. This is to monitor and maintain the physical fitness of the body of prospective participants of the Indonesian Army soldiers.
