girth of your hips on his widest point. Divide the girth

of the waist by the girth of the hips. If the result is

lower than 0.9 (for men) and 0.8 (for women), you

don’t have a higher risk for cardiac disorders than

normal.

Measurements

Do also take your other measurements, besides your

waist and hips. If you want to improve your

silhouette, these measurements can show you the

changes your body made during training. This

method is still the most precise, fastest and cheapest

one. Please pay attention you take your

measurements always on the same place. We advise

you to take measurements of the following parts :

girth of the neck, shoulders, breast, arms, upper

arms, waist, hips, thighs and calves.

Figure

Talents are often seen as interesting and attractive in

daily life. This is also the case for our figure. If it

doesn’t measure up to certain criteria, we find a way

to change this. Unfortunately we also have to say

that the “Fred Astaire” type not often becomes the “

Arnold Schwarzenegger” type. This is also true for

our body, the “Rubens” type will not become easily a

“topmodel”. So before we begin fighting windmills, it

is probably more sensible to take into account our

figure. Do we all have to be “topmodels”? Our

physical appearance depends strongly on the time

we live in. Therefore it is rarely that the body types,

you find next, exist. Most people among us are a

combination of different types.

Leptosome/ectomorphe type

Features :

• Wider pelvis than shoulders

• Very supple joints

• Weak muscle development

• Weak blood pressure

• Increased pulse in rest

• Weak circulation (less endurance)

• Cold hands and feet, dizziness when you stand

• Intense activity of the nervous system

• Weak metabolism (hard to gain weight)

Contradictory to other types, this type will not be

suitable for performances which include power and

endurance. An adapted training can improve these

shortcomings even though the starting points are not

always favorable. The figure of the ectomorphe types

often creates envy by other types. This type has the

privilege to eat as many as he wants without gaining

weight.

The athlete / mesomorphe type

Features:

• Strong and muscular

• Wider shoulders than hips

• The muscular system and the blood circulation

are suitable for excellent performances

• Weak blood pressure and pulse in rest by the

active mesomorphe types

• Increased blood pressure and pulse by the non-

active types

• Not susceptible to cold

• Correct general figure

• Normal digestion

• In case of inactivity or over feeding, the fat stays

hanging on the body

Taking into account above features, a moderate

training will be enough for the mesomorphe type to

improve his performances. The risk on injuries is

much higher for this type because the development

of the muscles isn’t always in proportion to the

elasticity of the muscles. We therefore recommend

you to invest a lot of time of your training in improving

the elasticity of the muscles.

The figure of the athletic type and the active

mesomorphe type stands very close to the ideal

figure in the 80ties and 90ties. Therefore many of us

would like to belong to this category, although they

often belong to another category. Those who can’t

admit that not everybody can have the perfect body,

often remains frustrated.

Endomorphe type

Features:

• Round shapes, holding fat

• Width shoulders, width pelvis (due to overweight)

• More equal distribution of the weight in

comparison to the other 2 types

• Average figure

• Very suitable for performances aimed at power

and endurance

• Easy food insertion and slow digestion make it

easy to gain weight

• Slow pulse in rest, normal blood pressure (for

active types)

Power, endurance and mobility are the greatest

trumps of the endomorph. Only the weight, often too

high, can be an interference in some situations.

Therefore he must pay attention to his food, healthy

and adapted to his needs, emphasizing endurance to

stabilize his weight.

Taking into account the beauty ideals of this moment,

the figure of the endomorph type is not suitable. But

above features also show that the active endomorph

has the right talents for a good health and a sportive

attitude. If the endomorph takes into account his

genetic potential, a few extra pounds, can not harm

him.

Endurance test

An endurance test may not be executed in following

circumstances, except when it is done under medical

supervision:

• Serious and chronic illnesses of the respiration

• Illnesses with fever attacks
