Volleyball Player's BMI?

Question

i know that there is a range for good BMI, but i was wondering if anyone knew the BMI of high level volleyball players such as those that play in the olympics. or maybe there is another test besides BMI that someone knows of. basically i wanna know the appropriate weight and height to become a good volleyball player.

Answer 1

Ok.. BMI's are all different depending on your height. Volleyball players can be any height. Usually the college levels look for taller girls though. For example... If your height was 5FT 10IN and you weighed 150 Pounds then your BMI would be 21.5. This is a great BMI for a person to be at. Athletes are going to have a lower BMI because of the work outs and things that they do daily. They may be 18-20.9 BMI.... The range for a normal BMI is 18.5-24.9.

Answer 2

BMI si the worst indicator of health. it s a very genric measurement of height versus weight. I'm 225 lbs and only 6' tall, my BMI syas I'm obese, but I have a 6.7% body fat. I would look at body fat to see where you want to be. First, all volleyball players are tall and light, so for guys at least 6'2", girls at least 5'8". Body fat for guys you would want under 7 for very high level of comeptition, more nearer 5. Woman can be hgiher simply becasue there body naturally contains more fat, so somewhere around 13% would be great.
