Are people who are very tall generally weak and skinny?

Question

Just curious cos all the very tall people I see are.

Some very tall football and basketball players look quite strong but there legs seem too be long and skinny.

Answer 1

Not always, but I agree, there are quite alot who can be blown over with a pedestal fan.

Maybe it's because they aren't breastfed lol.

Answer 2

No, there are three basic body types and they apply to people of all heights.

Shaq O'Neill is a good example of this. Peter the Great, the Russian Emporer was six feet six and had a very musclular build. As for being week, he built Russias first navy from scratch and he lived on the ships day and night while they were being built because he was fascinated how things worked and how they were built. He also wanted to experience what his sailors would experience and ate the same food and stayed in the ships the same length of time it would take for an average sea voyage. He did this in St. Petersburg and he particularly wanted to know how much discomfort sailors would have to endure abord ship in a cold climate.

While Russia never became a great naval power, Peter the Great made improvements on his ships to the point the Russian navy, just newly born, had great respect and he was able to protect trade routes into Russia and establish ports so Russia for the first time in it's history could engage in trade through Ocean ports 365 days a year for the first time in Russia's history.

Turkey, which was a well respected naval power and had very good sailor and ships lost control of the Black Sea to Peter the Great's Black Sea's fleet. In the first battle the Turks won a tremendous victory and practically wiped out the Black Sea fleet.

However Peter the Great rebuilt it and sent his captains to be trained in Great Britain. In the second battle two years later, the Turks should have won the battle for they still had the better navy, but they underestimated the Russian Fleet and suffered a defeat.

This defeat resulted in Turkey allowing Russian ships and other countries ships passage through the Bosphorous.

The only other tall girls I know are quite solid as well.

I think really tall girls just feel worse if they get fat because of their overall size, and are quite sensitive about it, so might be more likely to eat less?? maybe!

In fact, they are usually not skinny. The people you see must be the exception.

Answer 7

ok, so if we take you assumption, that the two stereotypes are healthy and in nice condition. i might take the thin ones for agility. maximum physique builder will talk top physique mass. greater mass skill it takes greater potential to go it. as quickly as the vast mass is in action it will additionally take plenty to quit or replace direction. that's why you do no longer see somebody geared up like Mariusz Pudjianowski interior the badminton courts.
