Ectomorphic, Asthenic (Ectomorphic)

This term is used to describe a specific body type. People with this body type are typically thin, tall, and have a large skin surface area relative to their weight.

Ectomorph - a person with an ectomorphic body type. Such people have a thin physique with long limbs, narrow shoulders and a flat chest.

Ectomorphy is a somatotype characterized by weak muscle development and a predominance of long limbs over the body. Ectomorphs are tall, low weight and have a fast metabolism.

Ectomorphic, Asthenic (Ectomorphic) - this term is used to describe a specific body type. People with this body type are typically thin, tall, and have a large skin surface area relative to their weight.

Ectomorphy is one of the three main somatotypes developed by William Sheldon to classify the human physique.

The main features of the ectomorphic type:

1. Thin build, little muscle mass.

2. Long and thin limbs.

3. Narrow shoulders and waist.

4. Fast metabolism, high activity level.

5. Difficulty gaining weight and muscle mass.

6. Dominance of fast muscle fibers.

People with an ectomorphic body type are usually tall and light in weight relative to their height. They have a large skin surface area compared to their body volume.

Ectomorphs have difficulty gaining weight and muscle mass, as they have a very active metabolism. They need to eat more calories to maintain weight.

Ectomorphs are also characterized by a high level of physical activity and mobility. They spend energy easily and do not tolerate fasting well.

In general, the ectomorphic somatotype is associated with a thin and slender physique.

Ectomorphic body type - a thin, scrawny body type with long limbs. The type of build is very fragile, the period of puberty is long. Such people are usually short or average height, densely built, but unlike mesomorphic people, they are not prone to sports activities and strong
