The Heath-Carter method of somatotyping is a widely accepted anthropometric technique used to classify human physique by quantifying the relative contribution of three independent body components: endomorphy, mesomorphy, and ectomorphy. Developed by J. E. Lindsay Carter and Barbara Honeyman Heath, it is a modification of William H. Sheldon's original somatotype system. Unlike Sheldon's photographic and subjective approach, the Heath-Carter method relies on objective anthropometric measurements, making it more reliable, reproducible, and scientifically acceptable in physical anthropology, human biology, sports science, and growth studies. The method identifies three physique components. Endomorphy represents the relative degree of fatness or adiposity. It is estimated using the sum of skinfold measurements, usually triceps, subscapular, and supraspinale skinfolds, adjusted for height. Individuals with high endomorphy have a rounded body shape and greater fat deposition. Mesomorphy reflects the relative development of the musculoskeletal system. It is calculated from measurements such as humerus breadth, femur breadth, flexed arm circumference, calf circumference, and stature. Individuals with high mesomorphy possess broad shoulders, strong bones, and well-developed muscles. Ectomorphy indicates relative
