Swimmers are generally taller. For swimming, taller athletes have more advantages. Taller people generally have excellent wingspan, which can make faster progress when paddling. Speed, people with longer arms will also be the first to touch the line when approaching the finish line.
Of course, if you are too tall, it will be difficult for your body to become streamlined, and you may encounter greater resistance in the water, so people who are too tall are not suitable to be swimmers.
Among national team swimmers, male swimmers are generally between 1.85 and 2 meters tall, while female swimmers are generally over 1.70 meters tall, with many female swimmers even reaching 1.80 meters tall. Take Yu Feifei as an example. Her height is 1.72 meters, but she can only be considered a short person in the national swimming team.
As for weight, female swimming team athletes generally weigh between 60 and 65 kilograms, and taller female athletes may weigh more than 65 kilograms.
For ordinary women, if they are 1.70 meters tall and weigh 60 kilograms, they may feel that they are fat, but athletes have relatively low body fat rates, so with the same height and weight, athletes will definitely look thinner than ordinary people. .
A few years ago, when Yu Feifei broke the world record, she weighed only 55 kilograms. However, considering that Yu Feifei's body was not fully developed at that time, 55 kilograms was a suitable weight. But as she grew older, Yu Feifei reached the stage of growth and development, and her weight suddenly soared to 70 kilograms.
According to the evaluation of the national team coach, if Yu Feifei wants to return to world championship level, her weight needs to be reduced to less than 62 kilograms. Athletes in the national team who are similar in height to Yu Feifei probably weigh 60 to 63 kilograms. Within the range, that is to say, Yu Feifei needs to lose at least 8 kilograms, which is 16 kilograms of weight.
…
In the training room, Dai Li and Xu Zhongyi were having a tit-for-tat argument. Yu Feifei next to them wanted to break up the fight, but couldn't get in the way.
At this time, Yu Feifei finally heard Li Dai's call and asked her to step on the scale. Yu Feifei couldn't help but feel happy, but she still looked at Xu Zhongyi first, as if asking for Xu Zhongyi's opinion.
"Go and weigh yourself!" Xu Zhongyi looked at Dai Li with contempt, and continued: "I want to see what tricks you can do."
But Dai Li made a gesture of invitation, and then said: "Coach Xu, please, let's go and see how much weight Yu Feifei has lost in these days of training."
Xu Zhongyi snorted coldly and walked towards the electronic scale, while Dai Li followed Xu Zhongyi.
Yu Feifei stepped onto the electronic scale, then stabilized her body, and the number on the electronic scale stabilized.
"Coach Xu, please take a look!" Li Dai pointed at the number.
"63.11 kilograms? 126 kilograms?" Xu Zhongyi was suddenly shocked, and his expression also changed. He looked up at Yu Feifei, and then at the number on the electronic scale, with an incredible expression written on his face. .
"How is this possible? I have lost at least 14 kilograms in weight! Feifei, you have only been in Qingcheng for about twenty days! How can you lose so much weight in such a short period of time?" Xu Zhongyi asked.
Before Feifei could answer, Li Dai took the lead and said: "If Feifei can lose so much weight, of course my weight loss exercises have played a role!"
"Nonsense! Your broadcast gymnastics can make Feifei lose 14 pounds!" Xu Zhongyi still didn't believe that weight loss exercises were really effective. He turned around and asked Yu Feifei with a serious face: "Feifei, tell me the truth. , how did you lose weight? Did you take drugs?"
"No, coach, I didn't eat randomly. I was able to lose so much weight only because of Coach Li's weight loss exercises." Yu Feifei said.
Xu Zhongyi knew that Yu Feifei would not lie to him, but he still did not believe that something that looked the same as radio gymnastics could make Yu Feifei lose weight in a short period of time and could solve the problem of the national team's physical fitness coach and university nutrition professor. Problems that cannot be solved. This completely goes against Xu Zhongyi's normal understanding.
According to the electronic scale, Yu Feifei's current weight is 63 kilograms, which is very close to her goal of 62 kilograms. In other words, if Yu Feifei can regain her form, she will once again have world championship level strength.
For Xu Zhongyi, all this happened too suddenly. As the saying goes, hearing is deceiving and seeing is believing. Although Xu Zhongyi saw the figure of 63 kilograms with his own eyes, he was still full of doubts in his heart.
"It's impossible. It's very difficult for athletes to lose weight. It's only been more than 20 days. If you want to lose two or three kilograms, I still believe that losing 14 kilograms all at once is completely unreasonable. There must be something wrong with it. Question! Let me go through it carefully..." Xu Zhongyi calmed down and began to carefully review everything that had just happened.
Suddenly, Xu Zhongyi turned his head, pointed at the electronic scale, and said sternly to Dai Li: "I understand, there is something wrong with this scale. There must be something wrong with this electronic scale. It was you who tampered with it." wrong?"
Dai Li smiled disdainfully and pointed to the side: "If you think this scale is inaccurate, there is another scale next to it. You can also go up and try it."
"Who knows if you have tampered with that one! If you can modify one scale, you can modify two scales. Maybe you have modified both scales." Xu Zhongyi snorted coldly, expressing his disdain for Dai Li. Two points of distrust.
"Well, you go on the scale and weigh yourself. You should know your weight very well! This way you can verify whether this electronic scale is accurate or not." Li Dai said.
Yu Feifei immediately gave up her position, and Xu Zhongyi strode onto the electronic scale.
"85.53 kilograms, Coach Xu, can't you tell, you are quite heavy, over 170 kilograms!" Dai Li said jokingly.
But Xu Zhongyi remained silent. Of course he knew how much he weighed.
"I just weighed myself the day before yesterday. At that time, my weight was more than 172 kilograms and less than 173 kilograms. Although this scale is different from what I weighed the day before yesterday, it is only off by one kilogram. This error is within the allowable range. Yes. So this electronic scale is accurate?"
Xu Zhongyi couldn't help but look at Yu Feifei. She had lost 14 pounds. If the electronic scale could weigh out an error of 14 pounds, Xu Zhongyi thought it was impossible.
"No!" Xu Zhongyi suddenly shouted: "I understand, Feifei, you have lost so much weight in such a short period of time, you must be sick! Let's go back and have a good rest first, and I will take you to the hospital tomorrow Get a comprehensive physical exam!”
Opposite him, Dai Li showed a dumbfounded expression.
"This Xu Zhongyi, why doesn't he believe that my weight loss exercises are really effective!"
