I would suspect that the only time physical shape can hinder/help your playing is if you are required to move or do something other than sit still while playing. So for those people in Drum and Bugle Corps, they have to uphold themselves to a greater standard of physical health than someone sitting in a chair. Or maybe someone in the show "BLAST" or something like that.

Otherwise, it's (IMO) breath capacity and technique that matter. If you're not MOVING your body and using your muscles, they won't tire you out with their demand for oxygen, and won't leave you panting. At least that's my belief.
