True or False: Endomorphs are classified as slim body types.

True
False
Not applicable
Only in children

The correct answer is: False

Endomorphs are characterized by a higher percentage of body fat, a wider waist, and a larger bone structure compared to other body types. They typically have a rounder physique which can appear softer and bulkier. This classification does not fit the description of "slim body types," which would be more aligned with the ectomorph classification, known for leaner, more slender builds. The other options suggest scenarios such as potential classifications in children or indicate a misunderstanding of body types. However, endomorphs are consistently categorized based on their physical traits, which do not correspond with being slim regardless of age. Thus, labeling endomorphs as slim body types is inaccurate, affirming that the answer is indeed false.
