25 years ago in Lincon E. According to the results of research initiated by scientist Ford, the height of the athlete has much to do with sport. Despite being a very unsporting case, large and small athletes have their advantages.

For example, small gymnasts turn much faster, especially the air. For his part, the athlete of half height, in practically all sports, it will be easier to get the maximum category. For example, high boxers, despite hitting and having greater reach, present a slow acceleration that hinders the height. The load that a lifting weight can lift is also more related to the height of the athlete than to the weight.

As a curiosity, football is the least influential sport of height. That is why it will be the most played sport in the world.
