Which somatotype is associated with a higher tendency to accumulate body fat ?
Answer: B
The somatotype is the endomorph.
In Sheldon's somatotyping, the endomorph is characterised by a round, soft body with a relatively high proportion of fat and a tendency to gain weight, especially around the abdomen. The mesomorph is muscular, with broad shoulders and low fat, and the ectomorph is lean and linear, with little fat or muscle.
'Hypermorph' is not one of Sheldon's three somatotypes.
