Having a normal chest is an important feature in medical
examination. A lot of candidates are declared “Under-Chest” during
their Initial Medical Examination and hence they have to wait for 6 months
for the next course to start. In this article I will try to cover the chest requirements of defense forces, the
reasons of being under-chest and the tips through which you can increase your chest.
CHEST REQUIRED IN DEFENSE
FORCES
Chest measurement is taken
in two dimensions during the medical and requirements of both dimensions must
be met in order to get fitness.
Chest Size:
The medical
officer/assistant will measure your chest with your shirt off with a
measuring tape (inches-tape). He will put the measuring tape
around your back and will meet the ends in front of your chest. The
minimum chest size must be 79 cm i.e. 31.1 inches.
Chest Expansion:
After measuring the chest
size, he will ask you to take a deep breath so that he can check your
chest expansion. The minimum chest expansion must be 5 cm. So after
expansion, your chest must be at least 84 cm in size i.e. 33
inches.
