Sporting activities suitable for endomorphs
Because endomorphs have extra weight this means that they tend to be less mobile, therefore less likely to excel at sports requiring speed. Endomorphs often excel in sports requiring strength but not stamina; therefore they would be better suited for: sumo wrestling, shot put, discus.
