Andrew Posted October 16, 2006 Report Share Posted October 16, 2006 What sort of measurements are you after? I competed in the open short athletic class… Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MasterTel Posted October 16, 2006 Report Share Posted October 16, 2006 All Athletic classes are based on the following height/weight ratio:Maximum weight (kg) = height (cm) - 98 e.g. I am 183.5 cm tall, therefore the maximum weight I can be is 183.5 - 98 = 85.5kg.The height division for Open and Novice Athletic is 175cm (approx 5 ft 10 inches) i.e. up to 175cm is Short, over 175cm is Tall. There is no height division in Masters Athletic (my class) - you must be 40 years of age or older to qualify and fit into the height/weight ratio mentioned above.

Andrew Posted October 16, 2006 Report Share Posted October 16, 2006 The formula for maximum weight is your height in cm – 100 + 2 i.e. if your 170cm your maximum weight would be 170 -100 + 2 = 72Kgs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
