Success as an athlete comes from athletic ability, and our body build. The three components of body build are the type, size and composition. A system developed by W.H. Sheldon (c.1940) uses Ectomorph, Endomorph, or Mesomorph to describe the individual's body build. Beashel and Taylor (1997) identify three extremes of body types.

The three athletic body types are ectomorph, endomorph and mesomorph. Each has its own characteristics, and you can use these to determine which body type you have. You will then be able to arrange to have your training/eating habits adjusted accordingly. This will help you to achieve your fitness goals.

Although each of these athletes may be extremely successful in their sport, their athletic body type is what health and fitness experts might say classify them as having overweight or obesity. What Is a Fit Body? Fitness is defined in a way that incorporates but also transcends the mere outward appearance of the body.

To build athletic muscle you will want to focus on compound exercises like squats, deadlifts, pull-ups, rows, and pushups.
