>>53429222>>53429292>wouldn't they not be fit if they had a high bmi?I dunno did a quick google search and found this journal stating this.
>The average values for body fat content in athletes, calculated from skinfold thickness ñSFT (BFsft) were 10.2 ± 3.2% and 11.5 ± 3.9% using bioimpedance (BFbia). Average BMI in
athletes was 23.9 ± 5.1 kg/m2. No significant difference was found between BMI and body fat
values of athletes and non athletes. Non athletes were lean, with average BMI 23.8 ± 2.2 kg/m2
and average body fat content 12.7 ± 4.1% measured by BIA.
I guess the better comparison would be using Body fat percentage instead of bmi.
