David and Goliath
Weight lifting is the only strength event in the Olympics in which
there are different weight categories. From this data of
world records in weightlifting
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Olympic_records_in_weightlifting
can you deduce a relationship between strength and size?
Hint: For size, use weight. For strength use the maximum
weight lifted. Plot different powers of one against the other to
find a beautiful relationship between the two. Using your
knowledge could you devise a set of weight categories and shot put
weights such that men and women of different weight groups could
compete together fairly?
