Each person's body has its own unique characteristics, be it weight, size, shape, proportions and muscle volume. However, among this wide variety, the main body types and their characteristics can be distinguished. Each person's physique is determined at the genetic level, but at an early age it can be slightly adjusted. It is believed that they are similar in body properties, predisposition to disease and sometimes in temperament. The structure of the body and its characteristics are taken into account when choosing a diet, as well as a set of training. So, what are the different types, their main characteristics, and how do you know what body type you have?
The main body types are classified according to several systems. The German doctor E. Kretschmer found the dependence of psychological characteristics on the characteristic features of a certain somatic type and identified asthenic, picnic, athletic and dysplastic type.
- An asthenic is characterized by a rather fragile physique with narrow shoulders, long legs, a slightly elongated face and above average height. At the same time, women of this type may also be short, their body weight is below normal and thin bones are unchangeable features.
- The picnic body shape is characterized by a blurred figure with fat deposits and short stature. Both men and women of this type are more likely than others to suffer from obesity problems.
- The athletic form includes women and men of average height with a strong build, broad shoulders and strong muscles.
- The German doctor classified people with various body deformations and shapeless structure into the dysplastic group.
The division into body types according to Academician Petlenko’s system is similar to the previous one, but is modern and more accurate and includes 5 types:
- Normosthenic.
- Asthenic.
- Hypersthenic.
- Graceful.
- Athletic.
This division is broadly similar to the division according to Chernorutsky, who identified the following body types:
- Hypersthenic.
- Normosthenic (this also includes the athletic type according to Petlenko).
- Asthenic (hyposthenic, including graceful).
- Hypersthenic (wide-boned)
People of this type have a high diaphragm, a fairly large heart, short stature, a short neck and an oval chest. The quantitative indicators of adipose tissue in hypersthenics exceed the average, and their blood contains an increased amount of cholesterol. Due to their slow metabolism, people in this category are prone to rapid weight gain, which is very difficult to lose.
Normosthenic (normal)
This type includes people with average indicators. Their muscles are developed quite well, so the skeleton is strong and well formed. The chest is convex, the length of the legs is proportional, and the shoulders are broad. Indicators of adipose tissue relative to muscle are within normal limits.
Asthenic (thin bone)
People of this type have a rather low diaphragm, above average height, thin bones, and a thin neck. Their muscles are not sufficiently developed, and in women and men the amount of adipose tissue is below normal. Distinctive features of their internal structure are a small elongated heart and a narrow chest. Asthenics have a very fast metabolism, which makes it difficult to build muscle and deposit fatty tissue; their high growth is combined with a disproportionate length of the limbs.
Sheldon types
There is a characteristic of types created by Professor W. Sheldon, which divides body types into endomorph, ectomorph and mesomorph. This system is very popular among men who exercise professionally. Moreover, the description of each is comparable to the description of Chernorutsky, where the endomorph is a hypersthenic type, the asthenic type and the mesomorph is normosthenic.
Before you know what your body type is, you need to determine your wrist circumference. You need to measure your working hand, and this is the simplest and most accurate way to determine it using the Solovyov system. Indicators for men and women differ. A wrist circumference of less than 15 cm in women (less than 18 in men) indicates asthenic, more than 17 (for men more than 20 cm) indicates hypersthenic. Intermediate options are the norm and indicate that a person is a mesomorph, that is, he belongs to the normosthenic type, which allows him to develop normal muscles, quickly gain and lose weight if desired.
Let's check ourselves
Women can find out what type they have based on their height and leg length. For normosthenic and hypersthenic people, growth is normal within the range of 166-170 cm, while for asthenic people it is 168-173. Leg length shorter than half the height is considered short, while in the normosthenic type the leg length is 4-6 cm more than half the height, in the asthenic type - by 2-4 cm, and in the hypersthenic type the length is 6-8 cm longer. In this case, the length can be found by measuring the leg from the heel to the tubercle of the femur, which is located opposite the hip joint. These indicators are considered ideal and are a classic indicator of a certain type.
To assess your shape, you can use the Pilier index, in which body weight and chest circumference are subtracted from height. If the result obtained is less than 10, then the physique is dense; a number from 10 to 25 indicates a normosthenic type; above 25 indicates an asthenic type.
When determining body type by calculating many indicators, including weight coefficient, it is of no small importance what age a person is, because indicators for different age groups differ.
Calculation of weight norms
A healthy weight range varies for each type. However, excess weight is not always an indicator of excess fat in the body. Adipose tissue is a necessary part of any body; without it, health and proper metabolism are impossible. The standard body fat ratio for men is 1/20, and for women it is 1/16. Most of it is located under the skin, protecting organs from hypothermia, overheating or injury. In addition, fat provides energy reserves necessary for emergency situations. Therefore, you should not thoughtlessly drive it away, without taking into account your indications, doctor’s prescriptions and body type.
There are different weight norms in grams per centimeter of height for asthenics, normosthenics and hypersthenics. For men, these parameters are different.
- For thin-boned girls, this figure is from 315 to 355 g, depending on age.
- For women of normosthenic build – from 325 to 380 g;
- For hypersthenics – from 355 to 400 g.
Calculating your weight per centimeter of height is simple: just divide your body weight in grams by your height in centimeters. Having correctly determined your body type, it is easy to calculate your ideal weight: just multiply the coefficient by your height.
Important!
It is quite rare to meet a person with a pronounced physique of one specific type. As a rule, an interweaving of all 3 with their characteristic features is observed. Indicators of one can predominate, and the level of dominance is assessed on a scale from 1 to 7. Existing species form approximately 88 subtypes, depending on which indicator predominates.
In order to find out what subtype you have, you need to take into account the indicators of all signs - chest circumference, height, leg length, degree of muscle development, metabolism, etc. The subtype can be corrected for both men and women by changing their body weight and muscle mass, which is achieved with great success through specially selected training. However, each workout must be approached based on the characteristics of the body and body type.

Lyudmila Ulitskaya, “Daughter of Bukhara”,
Subtlety as a personality quality is a tendency to have a thin, delicate, fragile physique; the ability to be soft, delicate, courteous.
One slender guy was driving on November 5 (GRU Special Forces Day, if anyone doesn’t know) along the highway past the permanent deployment site of one of the special forces brigades. It's not going fast, as usual. On the side of the road there is a cafe where, as it turned out later, the valiant officers celebrated their holiday. Suddenly, a body in camouflage jumps out of the bushes right under the wheels of the car. The squeal of brakes, a dull thud against the car, and then the sickening sound of a body falling onto the asphalt. Alexey jumps out of the car - the body lies motionless in front of the hood, Makarov’s service pistol jumped out of the body, drove about three meters along the asphalt, and is now lying in the middle of the road.
Situation... What to do first? You need to call the police, an ambulance, and secure your firearms until they arrive. In short, a slender guy stood over a pistol, and on his mobile phone, calling for services. Here, amid the squeal of brakes, a crowd of people celebrating pours out of the cafe... Silent scene. - They killed Kolya! - someone shouted, and this whole horde of far from slender men begins... to fight among themselves for the right to kill the boy. Never before had he run so fast towards a traffic police patrol car that happened to be passing by! Everything ended well. While the police were figuring out how much, the knocked-down “body” rose to his feet, shook himself off, sent everyone away, put the pistol in his pocket and slowly disappeared home - apparently, the guy still managed to slow down. No body - no protocol. Everyone remembers the phrase of the slender boy: “I’m standing over a pistol, here the landing force is fighting for the right to kill me, and I’m thinking: now I’ll take this pistol and... shoot myself!”
Subtlety is personified weakness, softness, tenderness, subtlety. A full-fledged feminine quality of personality, if there were not a whole “army” of slender men: three slivers folded, and nozzles invested. You can’t say anything about subtlety: “Blood and milk, she’s very delicate and watery, fragile and skinny.” On the physical plane, due to her frailty, stuntedness and sickness, one would like to call her puny. The children would say: “Don’t think it’s a pipe.” That subtility is thinness.
Subtlety on the inner plane is a finely woven consciousness. Elegant and refined at the level of consciousness, subtlety shows politeness, delicacy, softness, tenderness, courtesy and courtesy. Courtesy and deference, respect and correctness are the “watermarks” of her character.
Subtlety is the daughter of Mercury. Mercurians are quite fragile, sophisticated, and somewhat subtle.
Childish build. They are characterized by chilliness, they freeze. Mercury represents the nervous system in the body. Therefore, Mercurians, as a rule, can be somewhat nervous and very prone to bronchitis. Because Mercury in physics represents the lungs, bronchi.
Why has previously despised and ridiculed subtlety become fashionable today? Psychologists say that the population of countries has become predominantly urban, and the work of modern man has become mechanized, automated... Many people cannot lift anything heavier than a writing pen. Physical strength is no longer in demand, as it once was, when most of the planet’s inhabitants were cultivators—peasants. Nowadays, physical strength is in demand mostly in the form of spectacles: in arenas, rings, in action films... But at the same spectacles, slender girls parade - themselves being part of the spectacle. Subtlety is a sign of aristocracy and elitism. An indicator that this individual is not intended for hard “dirty” labor.
Poet Alina Mark gives us a portrait of a slender girl:
She was unusual. Noticeable. Stylish - one shade for both handbag and mobile phone. The eyes are sly, one might say subtle. And everything flew like a butterfly to the fire... She is from a breed of restless cats, such outwardly cute little dolls, in whose pupils there is an echo of sweet trembling, and a hidden grin: “try it, touch it...”
She seemed terribly strange to many, and in the evenings she splashed around in the bathroom for hours, always dreaming of decorating her wrist with a wound, and still deciding where to start, and with what - beautiful, right, a tiled wall and a chain of drops... Do you hear how the night crushes thoughts in the palms of your hands? In the morning, completely different, she silently applies cream at the mirror,
and puts the kettle on - exactly for a cup of coffee. Free and independent. Why not be a pro in the art of crucifying yourself on Calvary in the fragile morning silence? And this loneliness is a means, the only sure way to part with childhood, leaving a share of cynicism as your inheritance and a thirst to hang yourself. Tomorrow. On the belt
from branded jeans with a label and other dregs... You sit here like a parrot, looking at the bars, and the cage is tighter, narrower... Although that’s not the point, and others live ten times worse... Well, no, perhaps, everything seems to be fine, let alone , - and what? Great sadness! But falling into depression, in general, is immoral... Call. Will answer contemptuously, in a couple of phrases
will send his boyfriend to the suburbs of Paris, or more precisely, where he will be closest, at the waist, a decimeter lower. And he hangs up. All. Late. I waited - yesterday. Looks out the window. Afterwards he will sigh tiredly. He will add a little sugar: a spoon is not enough... And he will smile sadly: “I knew it.” It was not in vain that life seemed too generous.”
She is not used to crying without their dates, yes, she has half the number of excuses, and she erases the personality that did not live up to expectations. Dispassionately and quickly. Take off. And then everything is as usual: the metro is work. The driver slowed down at the turn. “Why are you like that?” - someone will ask in the office... And maybe then she won’t lie to him...

Variations of the female figure
There are several systems for grading the appearance of the female body. The most common is a very simple and understandable way to determine body shape:
- asthenic (or hyposthenic);
- normosthenic;
- hypersthenic.
If you think that knowing your body type is not particularly important, bet. Certain body types have different problem areas, which you can “sweat” in the gym, change your diet, rhythm of life and choose the best clothes.
Asthenic body type in ectomorph women
- According to generally accepted opinion, these are the very happy owners of slender and thin figures. According to other ladies, these women are witches who eat a lot and practically do not gain weight. Note that there are two sides of the same coin. In their youth, asthenic ladies are slender, but with age, fat is still deposited in the most unattractive places: on the back and waist, which forms an untidy and disproportionate image.
- It is easier for such women to maintain good physical shape, because their lipids accumulate slowly. Of the minuses, we note that although these girls are wiry, thin and energetic, untrained young ladies have the lowest level of endurance and strength indicators.
- Muscle development turns into pure torture for ectomorphs. Since growth processes are slowed down not only in fat, but also in muscles. That is why it is very difficult to give a sporty, pumped-up look to the silhouette.
- The appearance of such ladies is not particularly popular among men, because they are angular, lack pleasant roundness and look like teenagers. Any model on the show is a prime example of this body type.
- The shortened “upper” part of the body and long limbs create the illusion of “legs from ears”. Poorly developed lipid tissue often affects the size of the bust, and sometimes causes its absence.
- Narrow shoulders and chest, narrow feet and hands and a narrow waist! The Solovyov index, which helps determine your body type based on your wrist, is less than 15.
- As for training, it is easier for such ladies, since they almost never have to struggle with excess weight. An ectomorph woman can immediately begin strength training in the form of a split, avoiding aerobic counterparts.
- After achieving the desired results, you should definitely undergo an unpleasant but effective “drying” procedure.
- With possible weight loss, these young ladies first begin to “lose” their muscles, so calorie restriction will not help with figure correction. The panacea is a special diet and strength training.
Signs of mixed types
Everything described above refers to manifestations of “pure” body types. In life, it is extremely rare to meet people who belong to any one body type. Mixed, intermediate options are more common. Within one individual, at least all three body types can be combined: the bone structure of an asthenic, the muscle mass of a normosthenic, and the tendency to accumulate fat from a hypersthenic.
Do not forget that body type is a genetically determined feature, that is, what is given by nature.
But a lot is in your hands. For example, you can improve your figure by eating healthy foods and doing sports and exercise. Or you can make it worse by eating fast food, washing it down with cola while watching TV shows and soap operas.
If you are not naturally prone to fat gain and have good muscle mass, do not think that a sedentary lifestyle and poor diet will not lead you to excess body fat or diabetes. This will simply happen to you 10-15 years later than to an endomorph, all other things being equal.

Normosthenic body type - mesomorphs
- No matter how fickle youth fashion dictates the demand for skinny young ladies, the figure of a mesomorphic (normosthenic) woman is considered the classic ideal of beauty. They don't appear emaciated or compass women. Their body is proportional, with well-developed muscle tissue and a minimum of fat. Such girls are naturally athletic and sculpted.
- Mesomorph instantly loses fat reserves if desired and gains muscle mass at lightning speed. By nature, their metabolic rate is high, but with age, in the absence of adequate physical activity, metabolic processes slow down significantly, and weight rapidly creeps up.
- The part of the body at the top is slightly smaller than the one at the bottom, i.e. the legs are not too big, but they are not short either. At the same time, the sizes of the chest, hands and feet are average.
- Solovyov index for wrist size 15-17.
- Often the figure resembles the notorious hourglass, and if you are overweight, it resembles a pear or an apple.
- Young ladies with similar parameters can achieve records in sports in the shortest possible time.
- The problem of a “wasp waist” is quite acute in this case, because curvy ladies will have to sweat in the gym to achieve the desired shape. Among sports disciplines, it is worth paying attention to game types: basketball, volleyball, aerobics and tennis.
Features of a mesomorph
Mesomorphs are people who initially have a “dream figure”. In medicine they are called normosthenics precisely because their physique is an indicator of the norm accepted in modern society. We can say that these are happy people, since the nutrition of a mesomorph involved in sports is not as strictly limited as that of athletes with other, more “problematic” body types. These lucky people can even indulge themselves from time to time with some junk food or fast food.
Body and muscle structure
Mesomorphs, or normosthenics, naturally have the following characteristics:
- developed muscles;
- fairly low percentage of body fat;
- the muscle composition contains approximately equal amounts of glycolytic and oxidative muscle fibers;
- the sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous systems work in balance;
- the pelvis is relatively narrow and the shoulders are relatively wide;
- The length of the limbs and torso is balanced.
Simply put, the peculiarity of this type of physique is the absence of pronounced features, no matter how strange it may sound. The work of a mesomorph’s body is closest to that of the “average person” described in medical textbooks. The substernal angle for normosthenics is 90 degrees. The training program for a mesomorph will mostly be focused on the average healthy person.
Sports implementation
In general, it is this body type that is closest to what is commonly called a “healthy person,” which means that he is most likely to achieve success in almost any sport. Thanks to initially developed muscles and a low percentage of subcutaneous fat, mesomorphs can achieve the greatest success in sports such as fitness, men's physics, bodybuilding, and bikini. Simply put, wherever for maximum results it is enough to demonstrate a beautiful, aesthetic physique.
It would seem that the owner of a normosthenic body type can consider himself lucky - he looks good, all systems work in a balanced manner, any sport is suitable - isn’t it a dream? But it's not that simple. Look again at the advantages of ectomorphs and endomorphs. So, thanks to their advantages, representatives of these body types will have advantages over normosthenics. And this applies not only and not so much to sports - it concerns the factor of survival.
Hypersthenic body constitution - endomorphs
- Endomorphs (people with the hypersthenic type) are precisely those individuals whom sculptors and artists lovingly praised in their works. “Venus de Milo” by Botticelli, “Danae” by Titian, modern beauty icons Sophia Loren, Marilyn Monroe, Beyoncé and other ladies “in the body” are a vivid personification of this type of “body structure”. Curvy young ladies are famous for their femininity and sensuality.
- Such girls justify their excess weight by heredity, by the fact that there should be a lot of good people and by the fact that men do not throw dice, but there is a fundamental difference. From birth, endomorphs have more adipose tissue than muscle tissue, but this does not mean that such ladies are doomed to eternal obesity. This variation of the fair sex should only be given more time and effort to bring the figure back to normal. Only laziness prevents such girls from being pumped up and elastic.
- Transverse dimensions predominate over longitudinal ones (legs and arms are short). The chest is wide, the waist is the same, massive hips, large joints, feet and hands.
- The Solovyov index is more than 17 positions.
- Fat mass predominates over muscle mass.
- The combination of feminine curves and good muscle tone will give trained endomorph ladies a seductive and exciting image.
- But if such a young lady suddenly decides to lose weight and turn into a withered roach, she will have to make titanic efforts, which are unlikely to be crowned with success.
- Even if losing weight is successful, the girl’s appearance will turn out to be painful and disproportionate. In such individuals, muscles grow beautifully, but they are difficult to see under a dense layer of fat, which must first be burned. The latter is problematic, since metabolic processes in this form are significantly inferior in speed to the previous two.
- Stored fat is difficult to lose, and for training we advise you to choose intense cardio workouts with moderate load and change your diet to low-carbohydrate. Remember that breakdowns and relaxations will lead to an immediate return of lost kilos.
You have learned the main female body types, we have described their features, advantages and disadvantages. As you may have noticed, there is no “bad” or “good” physique, each has its own flavor. But we note that there is a common feature for everyone - beauty and women’s health directly depend on the regularity of her visits to the gym.
Remember, no matter what your silhouette is, only proper nutrition and increased physical activity will preserve female attractiveness for a long time.
