Body Morphology & Athletic Success ๐
- Your body's shape, size, and composition are tied to how well you might do in a sport. Think of it like matching the right key to the right lock!
- Have you ever noticed how marathon runners usually look slim while weightlifters are bulked up? Yep, that's body morphology in action!
Endurance vs. Strength ๐
- Endurance athletes: Small and slender. Imagine those long-distance runners pacing themselves.
- Strength and power athletes: Muscular, and sometimes even a bit chubby if their sport doesn’t require them to be light. Picture a shot put athlete or a heavyweight boxer!
What if my body doesn't fit the "ideal" for a sport? ๐ค
- Can't do much about height. ๐
- Body mass & composition? You've got some wiggle room! It's like sculpting; with the right tools (diet & training) you can mold it.
Gaining Muscle Mass ๐
- Why? Bigger muscles = more strength.
- But... More muscles = more body weight. So, balance is key!
- Need the right training, positive energy (calorie) balance, and enough protein.
- It's a marathon, not a sprint. Changes come gradually.
