1. PHYSIQUE/Body Type

2. Body Types Your body type is what you are born with.
However your body composition and musculature can be altered.
Definition: Body composition = the % of body weight that is fat, muscle and bone.
Definition: Musculature = the system or arrangement of muscles on a body.
Definition: Somatotypes = classification for different body types based on shape, Endomorph, Mesomorph, Ectomorph.

3. Practical Task
1. Put the sports pictures under the body type you think is most appropriate.
2. Put the words describing the characteristics of each type under that.
3. Decide which sports should go under each type. You must be able to justify these.
Remember height does not come into the justification simply shape.

4. Put this information into a table
Are there any problems with putting certain athletes into the table?
Do you think some ones body type effects the sports they are suited to?
H/W For each of the body types describe what sports/position in a sport you think they are suited to and why.
