Somatotypes

Somatotypes
Sheldon’s “somatotypes” and their supposed associated psychological traits can be summarised as follows:
Ectomorphic: characterized by long and thin muscles/limbs and low fat storage; usually referred to as slim.
Mesomorphic: characterized by large bones, solid torso, low fat levels, wide shoulders with a narrow waist.
Endomorphic: characterized by increased fat storage, a wide waist and a large bone structure.
