gidday everyone

I was just on the Nabba site and was looking at some photos of athletic class competitiors, i'm just wondering if anyone would have any idea what sort of measurements these guys are?

What sort of measurements are you after? I competed in the open short athletic class…

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]

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
