are your arms as long as your height
Arm span Arm span or reach (sometimes referred to as wingspan) is the physical measurement of the length from one end of an individual's arms (measured at the fingertips) to the other when raised parallel to the ground at shoulder height at a 90Â° angle. The average reach correlates to the person's height. Age and sex have to be taken into account to best predict height from arm span.[1]
Height in sports Empirically, the over-representation of extremely tall athletes in basketball lends credence to the theory that the sport provides tall players with a very significant advantage. The average American male is 5 ft 9.3 in (1.76 m).[18] Yet, the average player in the National Basketball Association (NBA) is listed at 6 ft 7 in (2.01 m).[19]
