# Somatotypes

Physical Education: AQA GCSE, topic 8.2.3

## Somatotypes

Somatotypes refers to people's different body types. Athletes usually have a combination of the 3 somatotypes.

### Ectomorph

![Ectomorph](https://image-v2.cdn.app.senecalearning.com/2018-03/17cdbaff-f270-48a7-be7c-fbd3f6af5825/shutterstock_780580273.jpg)

- Thin and lean (usually tall).
- Narrow shoulders, hips and chest.
- Very little fat and muscle.
- Long arms and legs.
- Thin face and high forehead.

### Endomorph

- Pear-shaped body.
- High-fat content. 
- Fat middle, thighs and arms.

### Mesomorph

- Wedge-shaped. 
- Large amount of muscle. 
- Wide shoulders and thin hips.

## Somatotypes and Sport

Some sports are more suited to a particular body type.

### Suitable sports for mesomorphs

![Suitable sports for mesomorphs](https://image-v2.cdn.app.senecalearning.com/2018-03/90e02ba1-b3f9-436d-b8ee-e2b57a2645e9/shutterstock_554553316.jpg)

- Sprinting - muscular shoulders help to ‘pump’ their arms and muscular legs let them drive forwards. 
- Weightlifting - having a lot of upper and lower body strength lets weightlifters lift large amounts of weight. 
- Rugby - some rugby players are mostly mesomorphic, allowing them to tackle hard, run fast, and break tackles.

### Suitable sports for endomorphs

![Suitable sports for endomorphs](https://image-v2.cdn.app.senecalearning.com/2018-03/027df539-662e-46fd-b24a-2f2eb20beb1e/shutterstock_756284761.jpg)

- Front row forward (rugby) - having a large mass makes it easy to push opposition players in a scrum.
- Shot put - having a heavy, bulky frame is useful for building powerful movements. 
- Sumo wrestling - their large frame makes endomorphs difficult to move.

### Suitable sports for ectomorphs

![Suitable sports for ectomorphs](https://image-v2.cdn.app.senecalearning.com/2018-03/1252b086-0870-481b-8a35-4fda0550a220/shutterstock_422778352.jpg)

- High jump - a light frame allows ectomorphs to jump higher because they have less weight to move.
- Tennis - tall players can naturally form a steep angle when serving and they also have a long reach for returning shots.
- Endurance running - lighter bodies are easier to carry. 
- Long jump - tall performers can build up speed on the approach through their long levers.

## Test yourself on Somatotypes

- Which of the following is not a somatotype?
- Characteristics of an ectomorph
- Which of the following is a synonym for body types?
- Which sport would mesomorphs typically __not__ be well-suited to?
- Suitable sports for ectomorphs
