Method 1
Calculating the Endomorphic component
Endomorphic component
Location Measurements
Subtriceps 7 mm
Subscapular 5 mm
Suprailiac 6 mm
Total 18 mm
Endomorphic value 1.5
Total = 18mm. This means that the participant is placed between 15 – 18.9. On the
table below, the corresponding endomorphic component is 1.5.
Calculating the Mesomorphic component
Mesomorphic component
