What is Body Type Calculator?
The Body Type Calculator uses William Sheldon somatotype anthropometrics and wrist-to-height bone ratios to classify body architecture into Ectomorph, Mesomorph, or Endomorph.
How to Use This Calculator
- Measure wrist circumference around the wrist bone.
- Enter your height in inches.
- Select your skeletal frame shape and metabolic weight tendency.
- Read your dominant somatotype and training recommendations.
The Mathematical Formula & Variables
Frame Ratio = Height / Wrist Circumference
Step-by-Step Worked Example
Scenario: Height 70 in (5 ft 10 in) with 7.0 in wrist and V-shape frame.
- Frame ratio = 70 / 7.0 = 10.0 (Medium Frame).
- V-shape shoulders + moderate gain = Mesomorphic dominance.
Result: Mesomorph (Athletic / Muscular)
Frequently Asked Questions
Can a person have a hybrid body type?
Yes! Most individuals are combinations, such as Ecto-Mesomorph (lean athletic) or Endo-Mesomorph (heavy muscular).
