somatotyping is a way to describe build.it looks at how fat,how muscular and how linear you are,in that order.
Yes, William Sheldon did research on somatotyping, which involves categorizing body types into three different groups. While he did suggest that there could be a relationship between body type and personality traits, his research has been widely criticized and his claims regarding somatotyping and criminal behavior have not been supported by scientific evidence.

There is limited information available on an "endorph" body type. It is possible that you may be referring to the term "ectomorph," "mesomorph," and "endomorph," which are the three general body types used in the study of somatotyping. These body types are classified based on body composition and response to diet and exercise.
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).
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.
