Ectomorph

Ectomorph is one of the three somatotypes described by Dr Sheldon in the 1930’ and 1940’s. Ectomorphs tend to be long and lean. Low body fat, long, slender, limbs and in some cases, a small torso. Peter Crouch is a classic example of an Ectomorph.

A person does not have to adhere exactly to the ‘typical’ shape of their somatotypes- we can share characteristics of all three somatotypes, but our more dominant characteristics give us our body type.
