Height can significantly influence success in sport depending on how the design of the sport is linked to factors that are height-biased due to physics and biology. The balance of the intricate array of links will determine the degree to which height plays a role in success, if any. Advantages for below average height include: * Faster reaction times (shorter neural networks) * Greater strength to weight ratio * Faster limb acceleration * Greater endurance * Greater power to weight ratio * Faster rotational capability * Greater agility * Greater balance and lower centre of gravity * Lower risk of heat exhaustion Advantages for above average height include:〔 * Greater absolute strength * Greater work capacity (force multiplied by distance) * Greater work per unit of time (Power) * Longer reach * Greater visibility * Lower resting metabolic rate * Lower heart rate * Less likely to become dehydrated * Greater speed and power due to mechanical advantage ==Amateur wrestling== Height can be both helpful and detrimental in wrestling. Since taller people have more bone mass, they will generally be slightly weaker than shorter people in the same weight class. This difference is made up in part by their longer arms, which allow them a longer reach and easier cradle. Long legs are detrimental in that they can easily be attacked by a lolly (shot). They do, however, assist in performing some actions and positions such as throwing, sprawling to counter a takedown or riding legs. The heights of amateur wrestlers vary greatly with successful athletes being as short as Sushil Kumar at and as tall as Alexander Karelin at . 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Height in sports」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
