Optimum WeightOptimum Weight• Is a person’s ‘most favourable’ weight.
• Body weight affects sporting performance.
• In some sports it is favourable to be heavier, in others, lighter.
• More generally, people can find out their optimum weight by calculating their BMI or by measuring their wrist girth.

HeightHeight
How would height affect optimum weight?
HeightHeight
Taller people are usually,
although not always,
heavier than shorter people
GenderGender
How would gender affect optimum weight?
GenderGender Men and women have a different body composition
Men tend to have more muscles and larger bones
Therefore males and females have different charts to find their optimum weight
Bone StructureBone Structure
How would bone structure affect optimum weight?
Bone StructureBone Structure Everybody has a different bone structure, sometimes referred to as frame size
Height cannot determine a persons bone structure
Comments such as ‘broad shoulders’ and ‘thick wrists’ refer to the bone structure of a person
Muscle GirthMuscle Girth
How would muscle girth affect optimum weight?
Muscle GirthMuscle Girth As with bone structure, people naturally have different muscle girth
In most cases, muscle girth increases with training
Because muscle weighs more than fat, some BMI index charts will show a performer with a large muscle girth as being overweight
GeneticsGenetics
How would genetics affect optimum weight?
GeneticsGenetics
Body weight and shape are
largely passed on through the
genes from parent to child
The body composition of a
performer is bound by genetics,
but with training, can be changed

Task 3Task 31.Explain why a Rugby forward might have a higher optimum weight than average.
2.What other sports performers might need a higher than average optimum weight? Explain why. (think of 1 – 3 examples)
