An endomorphic person (7-1-1) is generally stocky, with a large round body, a short thick neck, short arms and legs, and with a tendency to store body fat. Sports people tend not to be in this category, being either more mesomorphic or ectomorphic. Generally, endomorphs rate poorly on physical ]s and so make poor athletes. Still, it is possible that someone who is rated as an endomorph can modify their rating though ] and ] to become more mesomorphic. The calculation for the endomorphy rating is based only on the sum of 3 skinfolds (triceps, subscap, supraspinale), corrected for height. Therefore, the higher the skinfolds, the higher your endomorphy score.<ref>http://www.topendsports.com/testing/somatotype.htm</ref> |
