Somatotype
Sheldon estimated that the degree of a body type was present on a 1 to 7 scale, where 1 is the minimum and 7 is the maximum.
All athletes are made up of the three extreme body types so we are all part endomorph, part
mesomorph and part ectomorph. Using a score of one to seven, we can grade our bodies on each of the extreme body types. E.g. two, six, three means: two (low endomorphy); six (high mesomorphy); three (low ectomorphy). This method of body typing is known as somatotyping
- height is not taken into consideration.Slide4
Body Size
Body size refers to the athlete's height and weight. The ideal size for an athlete depends on the sport or event and sometimes the position they play in their sport. There are standard
ideal weight
charts based on an individual's height.Slide5
Body Composition
Body composition refers to the athlete's
body fat
. In most sports, the athlete will try to keep his/her levels of body fat to a minimum. In general, the higher the percentage of body fat the poorer the performance.Slide6
