Endomorph

Endomorph is one of the three somatotypes described by Dr Sheldon in the 1930’ and 1940’s.Endomorphs tend to be very muscular and strong, with higher body fat than the other two somatotypes. In many cases, endomorphs can be quite short, but very strongly built. Wayne Rooney is a good example of an endomorph.

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.
