Somatotype Calculator
Somatotyping is a system used to categorize human physique into three fundamental types: Ectomorph, Mesomorph, and Endomorph. Most people are a combination of these types, but one may be more dominant.
This is a simplified self-assessment and not a precise scientific measurement.
General Characteristics:
- Ectomorph: Typically lean, with a light build and small joints. Often find it hard to gain weight (both muscle and fat). May have long limbs and a fast metabolism.
- Mesomorph: Naturally athletic build with well-defined muscles. Can gain muscle easily and lose fat relatively easily. Often have a medium bone structure.
- Endomorph: Generally have a softer, rounder physique. Tend to gain fat easily and may find it harder to lose. Often have a larger bone structure.
Answer the following questions based on your general tendencies and physical characteristics to get an idea of your dominant somatotype.
