Body weight as the biological factor of choosing sports
It is evident that in equestrian and bicycle sports height can be a disadvantage while in basket- hand- volley ball high athletes are needed.
In football successful and dribbling players have lower height therefore they are more manoeuvrable. The back players are higher.
In hand- and basket ball point-guards’ height is much lower. There are several useful methods and techniques helping to estimate children’s height when they have become adults. In junior education it should be a great help for trainers to use these tests. In Hungary Mészáros and Mohácsi worked out a method based on few data (height, weight, shoulder width, forearm and hand circumferences and age). With this test 90% of 385 children’s adult physique can be recorded with +, - 3 cm accuracy. If any difference can be detected later it is not because of the test but it is due to individuals’ growth rate.
