are you really serious???

i suppose this is basic physics.

two objects (one greater in mass than the other) are traveling at the same velocity ... which object possesses the greater inertia? the heavier object of course! thus, a lighter athlete will be able to change directions more sharply than a heavier player. i mean, take a look around, how many 230-lbs. running backs and wide receivers do you see? also, someone help me out here, what is one of the activities used in athleticism/fitness tests whereby an individual sprints a short distance, stops, and immediately returns to the point of origin? are they called "shuttles"? well anyway, you usually see a correlation between the weight of the athlete and his/her time. magnify that over the course of a game.

again, i've mentioned that i'm an athletic trainer. a basic knowledge of exercise physiology teaches you that the amount of energy required to move a heavier body is more than the amount of energy required to move a lighter body. thus, heavier athletes expend more energy than lighter athletes given the same activity.

come on terry, i have faith in you understanding these basic principles.
