Body Type
Endomorphic - centered on the abdomen, and the whole digestive system.
Mesomorphic - focused on the muscles and the circulatory system
Ectomorphic - related to the
brain and the nervous system

Sheldon Somatotyping
Each area measured on a 1 – 7 scale Type is decided by predominant
(highest to lowest numbers) Example –
Endo - 4 Ecto - 7 Meso - 1
A Ectomorph
