KembaraXtra-Psychology - asthenic body type
Asthenic body type is a slender, long-limbed somatotype that Ernst Kretschmer (1888–1964) and followers proposed as constitutionally predisposed to schizophrenia. It is contrasted with athletic, dysplastic, and pyknic body types, and the term reflects Greek roots relating to weakness.
