mezomorph

Mesomorph refers to one of the three somatotypes, a classification system developed by psychologist William H. Sheldon in the 1940s. This system categorizes individuals based on their body shape and composition. The mesomorph is characterized as having a medium frame, athletic build, and naturally muscular physique. They tend to have a balanced proportion of muscle and fat, with a seemingly effortless ability to gain muscle and maintain a lean physique.

Sheldon described mesomorphs as typically having broad shoulders, a narrow waist, and well-defined muscles. They are often perceived as strong and energetic. In terms of metabolism, mesomorphs are thought to have an efficient metabolism, which aids in their ability to build muscle and burn fat. This somatotype is often associated with success in athletic endeavors requiring strength and power.

It is important to note that the somatotype theory is largely considered a pseudoscience and is not supported by modern scientific research. While individuals may exhibit certain physical characteristics that align with the mesomorph description, it is not a definitive or scientifically validated classification of human body types. Genetics, diet, and exercise are the primary factors influencing an individual's physique and health.
