Description
Zhanyang He and co-authors link body shape to swim scores in forty-nine young provincial racers, in a study from two thousand twenty-six. Boys and girls near twelve years old had size, fat, and hand and foot areas logged. Top points per swimmer stood for race worth.
For girls, points rose with age, body mass score, and hand and foot area after strict checks. Boys showed no such firm ties. In the tuned girl model, hand area alone kept its tie, and even that shook when odd cases were dropped. Cross-sex tests found no firm split. The authors label all of it a lead for bigger samples. Readers get a careful maybe, not a talent test.
