SECTION 1: AN OVERVIEW
Joseph Addison (1672 - 1719), The Spectator, July 12, 1711 This book is authored for anybody and everyone interested in their health, well-being, weight loss, management and fitness levels. For those of us who are not certainly our current exercise method is working, some who are interested in learning more about their bodies, the human system, how physique can hold cues and clues as to what will work and what not, for that particular body type and build and customizing an exercise scheme that actually works and addresses individual requirements and clear cut areas, aspects and problems, this guide will take you from beginning to finish! According to the online free encyclopedia at www.wikipedia.org, the term in use and under scrutiny here, namely body types, can be defined as having various meanings, average uses and mostly refers to A description of any kind of human body shape. This will include references and descriptions such as slim, fat, tall, petite, wide-shouldered, pear shaped and others It also goes back to an older classification system, dating back to the early 1940s. Here, humans were classified or sorted into three dissimilar body types. This is still today at periods utilized, especially in and for modern weight training and exercise; (also called ‘somato-type’). With roots so firmly planted in psychology and fitness sciences, there is much more to this visibly correlated products in question BODY TYPE and EXERCISE. It seems like a logical inference that the one will have something to do with the other. The physcial properties, dynamics and system and its functioning, optimal peak performance and movement particularly will have to be associated somehow. This bond and commonality, we would be taking under closer surveilance and investigation during the course of these musings and discussion. The founder or pioneer behind this classification system (William Sheldon), started associating body types and temperament, personality types and more with each other, looking for commonalities and bonds that brought them closer togeterh. This idea is, have and will still really be catching on in recent years and the near future, as more and more practitoners, consumers, fitness trainers, and other experts (even lay-people) discover that there is not really any ONE-EXERCISE-PROGRAM-FITS-ALL type of solutions for everybody. We are moving more and more away from this approach and closer to custom-type exercise regimens that have something to do and say with regards to dissimilar body shapes or ‘types’. Our physical properties, height, weight etc. has always figures into calculations like BMI and more, and fitness assessments did make a note regarding this, but not many of recognition has been given to it much. Using body type in this fashion, actually have you looking at physical form and appearnace, tissue (muscles, disgestive and nervous systems), to obtain a better handle on what might work best for that particular shape, metabolism and person, (individual/group), in normal and specifically, is in question here. This can then be translated into a customized-tailored exercize regimen, routine, work-outs and plan, to obtain results, not necessarily weight-loss, but overall fitness, increased well-being and health. It advocates more of a holistic-type approach to both exercise, fitness, weight loss, management and self-preservation. The premise is to use what nature has bestowed upon and given naturally, the techniques and dynamics of the body, to obtain the best results. Trying to grasp and capture the variation in human physical qualities and looks is also known as anthropometry or the measuring of the human being. Utilizing these bodily dimensions and then customizing items around it, is quite a average practice in fields like ergonomics, clothing design, even architexture. Not so much so in the field of fitness, health and wellness, weight loss and management, and overall optimal functioning type considerations, items and services. We have somehow overlooked, underestimated or not conisdered it seriously ample it seems. It can in fact hold and harbor some real secrets, cues and clues as to what to expect when we use the one to better comprehend and maximize the other. Quite the thought! How revolutionary is that? Most of the initial findings in the anthropometry, was based on Sheldon’s work. He took extensive care to meticulously see and document these variations in body types. This was done in one of his the bulk well-known experiments where he actaully photographed the living bodily features and physique of approximately four thousand males (taking a look from all angles (front, back and sides) THREE TYPES WERE identified in this fashion. These are the so-called SOMATOTYPES. ENDOMORPH – digestive system, susceptible to being somewhat overweight, being more tolerant, creatures of comfort, routine and habit, luxury matters, loving eating, interaction with others (people and food) Jolly, round and fat – typically obese-prone. Research has featured time and again that modern trends indicate that this particular type is at higher risk for conditions like addiction, substance abuse, depression, bipolar and panic attacks (related disorders, discsomforts and being overweigth, unhealthy, carrying extra pounds around). MESOMORPH – muscle, heart and blood, susceptible to be more muscular, well-built, sturdier physique, even athletic build. High-energy, outgoing, strong-willed and tempered, dynamic, even coming across as risk-prone, active and sporty, competitive. Butch or Jock-types like football players will typically fall into this category. ECTOMORPH – nervous system, susceptible to being somewhat underweight, thin or slim. Artistic by nature, more sensitive, self-aware and socially reserved. (Source link for graphics: http://www.time-to-run.com/physiology/bodytype.htm) Number values were assigned between 1 and 7 for each of the body types and predictions made regarding myriads of things. Biometrics and measurements of the human frame are closely associated and modern trends try to accommodate both. This is not about anatomy or physiology, it has to do with opinions, behavior and some psychometric data, studies of old that still resonates well today. It paves the technique for future research into the dynamics and applications of these and similar sciences, as we continue our on-going quest to better comprehend our human bodies and system, how they work, function and should be in peak condition, optimal performance. Your own body-type perception can have an effect on you, your behaviors and more. The labels might have you favoring one or the other via a bias/prejudice filter. As we delve deeper into some of the more neurobiological types of study, research and recent development of new scientific methods, to measure and determine truths about these dissimilar body types, we might just be on the brink of a breakthrough. Some of the body type theory can even be traced as fas back as Aristotles thinking and teachings. According to the legacy of some of the initial research and classifications, including some criminology type work done in France by Alphonse Bertillon (1853), some of these boney structures and characteristics indicate human physique variation, as unique as fingerprints for example (that only came later) and that they can be used to tell people apart, they are that distinct and unique. These measurements also do not alteration a monstrous degree throughout your adult life. In total there are eleven measurements that depict and capture these ‘body type’ features. They are, (in no particular order): Bust: Length of torso from head to seat, taken when seated Height Length of head: Crown to forehead Length of left cubit: Elbow to tip of middle finger Length of left foot Length of left little finger. Length of left middle finger Length of right ear Stretch: Length of body from left shoulder to right middle finger when arm is raised Width of cheeks Width of head: Temple to temple |
