Olympic Sprinters

PurposeThe purpose of this assignment was to compare and contrastthe height’s and weight’s of Olympic sprinters to their results inthe 100m race. In doing so, I would be able to identify anyrelationships in the information and determine if there is anoptimal height and weight.Thesis StatementI think that the taller an athlete is, the larger an advantagehe/she has over their competitors. With an increase in heightusually comes an increase in leg length, and therefore longerstride length. As for weight I felt a moderately high level wouldbe necessary to take in account their muscle mass, but after acertain point an excess of weight would hinder theirperformance.ProcessWith the Olympics being the largest international sportsfederation it was easy to find information. I collected secondarydata from several credible websites and analyzed the data thatrelated to my topic.
