What is endorph body type?
There is limited information available on an "endorph" body type.

These body types are classified based on body composition and response to diet and exercise.
What is somatotyping theory?
The theory of W. H. Sheldon, suggesting that body structure is correlated with certain temperaments and predisposes to mental disorders commonly measured using the Heath-Carter measurement system, in which ratings for endomorphy, mesomorphy and ectomorphy are calculated using various anthropometrical measurements and also sometimes in conjunction with standardized photos (photoscopic method).
What is a endomorphic mesomorph mean?
An endomorphic mesomorph refers to a body type classification in somatotyping that combines characteristics of both endomorphs and mesomorphs. Endomorphs typically have a higher body fat percentage and a rounder physique, while mesomorphs are muscular and athletic with a more defined structure. Therefore, an endomorphic mesomorph would exhibit a muscular build alongside a tendency to store more body fat, resulting in a stocky and solid appearance. This classification helps in understanding individual variations in physique and can guide fitness and nutrition approaches.
