The size, shape, height and weight of a performer can all influence the type of sport played, as well as the level of performance. For example, a light, slim person could take part in sumo wrestling although they would find it much harder than a heavy, bigger, stronger person. i.e. The level of performance would probably be lower. There are always exceptions to this, although there is a general pattern in ELITE performance which shows that particular body types suit particular sports.
