The assignment to these categories of body types (Type 1 – 9) is
based only on the computer calculated value of body fat percent.
The system developed by psychologist William Shelden in the
40th, of the three body types: Ektomorph (petite to slouchy),
Endomorph (strong to muscular), and Mesomorph (round to
obese) is based on other principles.
You can also use this value to check your nutrition and possibly
adjust it.
