Confirmation of what we already know to be true (Athletics and muscle)

Hello Mark, I just came across this study that shows that "Athletes from countries with the best international records weighed more..."

Thought the board might want to see an actual study that puts into practice some of the obvious "stronger is better" theory in athletics.

It uses female hockey players, and I suppose the effect/differences would be amplified in males due to the entire scale being higher due to testosterone and other differences.

I've tried, but I just can't get excited about this.
