Body Morphology & Athletic Success ๐ŸŒŸ

  • 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 ๐Ÿƒ

  • 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? ๐Ÿค”

  • Can't do much about height. ๐Ÿ“
  • 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 ๐Ÿ“ˆ

  • 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.
