athletic body diversity reference for artists

December 18, 2010 by space coyote

This is a photoshoot of various Olympic-level athletes by Howard Schartz and Beverly Ornstein titled “The Athlete”. Like many others I tend to fall into the trap of drawing the same body type over and over for athletic characters. This photoshoot serves as awesome reference reminding us artists that strong bodies come in all kinds of shapes and sizes and muscles show up in different ways. It also helps us keep in mind that not everyone who is fit is also lean. There’s often a layer of fat over the muscles, making them less visible for some. I wanted to share this in a convenient way so here it is:

    They mean the exact same thing…..Handicapped.

    Nikki is sorta right, because in the context of sports ‘handicap’ has another meaning.
    A handicapped golf or chess player is a very good player competing with amateurs on artificially leveled terms.

    I think the current politically correct term is “differently abled”, Aimee Mullins is definitely not “disabled” or “handicapped”, especially when compared to most non-athletes.
    
    I agree, this is cool. :o)

  I am down with terms that are not rude and offensive… but, can we find one that doesn’t sound as ridiculous as “differently abled”?
  
  I wish I had a suggestion to share… unfortunately, I am leaving that bit of creativity to someone else.

[…] Art and Writing If you’re an artist, or a writer, and you live somewhere that the influence of Hollywood reaches (i.e. everywhere), it’s very easy to forget that being “in shape,” “fit,” or “athletic,” doesn’t mean the same thing as “lean,” “6-pack abs,” or “what I saw on the cover of Vogue this month.” Forgetting this basic fact of life robs stories and paintings and graphic novels of realism, even if slightly. So, for your benefit and mine, here’s a photo essay featuring over 100 Olympic atheletes in phenomenal shape, each featuring …. […]

This is amazing to look at, and so helpful. Plus seeing all the different heights side by side – very cool!

I wish the bottom row had that sport/height/weight info, too, but you can guess the sport pretty easily so it’s no big.

on January 13, 2011 at 3:49 am 9th Wonder

not sure when this was taken but a lot of these guys are long since retired. Like Alexi Lalas so i wouldn’t remotely expect them to be in shape. That said i think it could be old cause Jeff Garcia and Terrell Owens are standing next to each other and they have long since stopped being friendly.

regardless. playing an professional sport or amatuer sport does not mean you’ll have a great sculpted body. And certain sports like baseball and weightlifting just don’t require the cardio that would get you ripped. And nfl lineman aren’t trying to get lean at all.

Regardless if you want to be fit and healthy the answer is still diet and exercise.

This is a reminder that healthy or in shape doesn’t always equal washboard abs. But if the images are an indication, it does 90% of the time. So to the other 10%: It’s cool. Don’t get up. You’re totally in shape from playing Halo all day.

on March 3, 2011 at 8:21 pm Brendan Dillon

You note that “not everyone who is fit is also lean”. It might be wise to consider that not everyone who is considered a “athlete” is actually “fit”. Fitness implies an overall level of health as well as a degree of athleticism. For instance, golfers are generally considered atheltes, but frequently enough are not what would be considered fit. NFL linemen are certainly athletes, they’re extremely strong and skilled, but fit? In contrast, those who are exceptionally lean, such as bodybuilders, often fall out of the realm of true fitness as well, their diets and habits are so distorted from the natural human diet that to call them fit would be drastically wrong.
“Athleticism”, particularly highly specialized, non-aerobic athleticism, does not necessarily equate to fitness.

  Uh huh, and what is fitness? So if it’s non-aerobic then it’s not fitness? Until you define fitness, your statement is meaningless.

True, sports have very different effects on the body – though few are as extreme as, say, the pole vault. I’ve long noticed the difference between ‘gym muscles’ (big, round, defined but few) and ‘fit men’ such as outdoor sports enthusiasts (very low body fat, very visible minor muscles all over, eg lats that look like ribs, very little big muscles or rounding/none at all, but big women thighs often). Women vary less, they usually have body fat even if they are constantly active, and are usually on diets so when they do those ‘rough it in the wild challenge’ type tv programmes, they don’t change much, men change dramatically – and get their tops off, of course. I’m that rare exception, a woman who’s never been on a diet and buffs up fast when i train, gets fat fast studying hard, and slims down fast when working hard, which i try to compensate for by eating more as fast shrinking is terrible for internal organs.

Actually, I think that what these photos really show is that your choice of sporting hobby (and the training regimen therein) determines your bodytype.

At the risk of being unscientific….

Look at the long-distance/marathon runners in picture 6. Rail thin. Exactly what you’d expect from a hobby that, by mile 20 has drained all the readily available energy from your body.

Compare them with the sprint runners whose bodies are trained to cover 200-500 meters in the shortest time possible. Much more definition in the legs, torsos, and arms than the marathon runners.

[…] This is one of my favorite sports/fitness/athlete blog posts ever. It made the rounds late last year, but sometimes when I get discouraged, I turn back to it. The bottom line of the photos is that body types are diverse. ”Fit” looks different for everyone, even élite athletes. So many of us strive for washboard abs or a size 2 or some other random measure, but what if what’s fit and functional for your sport or chosen goal isn’t consistent with what you think you should look like? It’s something you have to resolve. An example…I love the idea of being a powerlifter, but I love the idea of either becoming a fitness competitor or a bikini competitor in the next few years even more. Those two ideas aren’t really compatible. The dieting down for competitions isn’t consistent with the way you need to eat to develop the heavy lifting powerlifters have to do. Now, if I try competing and hate it, then I can change my mind and change my goals to move in a new direction. So what are your goals? Is it a look, a size or something else? Are those goals consistent with the workouts you’re doing? Is it time to re-evaluate? […]
