Everyone is built in his own way, so in the sport should take into account the features of the body.Are you inclined to overweight, or vice versa - belong to those lucky ones who burn calories without excessive movements?There are no two people with the same figures, as with the same fingerprints.All bodies can be conditionally divided into three groups depending on the factors associated with bone mass, muscle and subcutaneous fat.To understand what exercises are best for you, you need to know your body.The problem is that "when it comes to exercise, there is a conflict of interest," explains Juan Francisco Marco, professor of the Spanish Center for Sport Sciences, workout and fitness Alto Rendimiento ("High Result")."You should determine what exactly you want to improve yourself: whether the appearance or sport form."On the basis of genetic and physical features distinguish three types of constitution, or somatotypes.

Find out which exercises are right for you.

Ectomorphs

Sport where you have to run a lot, perfectly suits the high and worse ectomorphs, although for the appearance they need more that will help gain weight."These are tall, thin people who tend to lean forward slightly, they have long limbs and flat breasts. It's difficult for them to gain muscle mass," says Professor .The best results of ectomorphs are achieved where endurance is required: in athletics, swimming or cycling. But also recommends exercises that develop strength and help gain weight."These people should focus on simple exercises, in which many joints move, and with them the main and secondary groups of muscles," he says.As for aerobics, they should be somewhat limited, because ectomorphs are very easy to lose weight and stop growing muscle mass.

Endomorph

Endomorphs are lower and rounder - they are more easily given strength exercises, but it is necessary to develop the cardiovascular systemThis type of constitution is opposite to ectomorphic. Its classical representatives are small in height, with rounded forms and slow metabolism, which promotes deposition of fat; but the muscular mass of endomorphs is also gaining relatively easily.Due to rapid muscle buildup, these people are well represented in power sports.They need to alternate different types of exercises, with special attention to those who develop endurance of the cardiovascular system."It should begin with aerobics, and then proceed to various anaerobic exercises of high intensity. It is also useful to work on joints, but more dynamically, in contrast to ectomorphs, which can work slowly and do more breaks," says ProfessorEndomorphs are the most suitable sports that require strength and balance, such as weightlifting or wrestling.However, choosing a sport, they must remember about certain factors."Their goal is to increase muscle mass, while reducing fat. The first and only second, they will make them massive and shapeless."From a psychological point of view, these people are given the most difficult sport: they are difficult to motivate themselves, they are harder to fail, or "lack of fast results," warns our expert on physical training.

Mesomorphs

Mesomorphs are born athletes and good multifirmThis type has the most physical benefits and can often boast an athletic look without any effort."Mesomorphs are innocent athletes, whatever they do, they all get out," says Mr. Marco. "I know players who suddenly started playing mini-tennis - and have achieved great results. They play basketball well and show themselves well. where endurance or speed is required. "For regular training of mesomorphs it is necessary to choose sports that develop strength and power, and alternate them with the complexes of exercises for muscle development and cardiovascular endurance.Tennis, football, rowing or triathlon - these are the perfect sports for this type of physique.Despite all the benefits of a mesomorphic structure, representatives of this type should be careful about their diet, because they "tend to accumulate fat, although not as fast as endomorphs," remarks doctor"But this is not ectomorphs, which can eat anything and instantly burn it due to rapid metabolism," - adds the expert.Know your type of structure is important, but each type needs a complex combination of various exercises.The most important thing is to clearly understand your goal, train regularly, eat well and develop a special program tailored to your needs.
