Height / Weight Ratio Test

This is the Stillman height to weight ratio test which ascertains the ideal weight for adults after entering their height. The test is only really designed for adults of 5ft and over and gives a weight of 7st 12 for males and 7st 2 for females under that.

For distance runners the weight allocation should be 5-10% lower than that of a healthy non-active adult, and the suggested weight ranges are given. Distance runners whose weight is outside of these guidelines should see an improvement in their performance once their weight is within recommended levels.
