Height and weight of SCA fighters.

Uneg · Post by **Uneg** » Thu Sep 10, 2009 7:55 am

Height: 6' 2.5"
Weight: 230 lbs
Age: 37

Rattan - Spear/pole in melee and greatsword/weapon+shield in one-on-one. I do love some single-sabre or dagger fighting, though.

Don't do fencing, but have an appreciation for it.

Would love to get on a horse someday.

I feel both small AND thin!! I really, really like this thread!

For a runner I'm a fat, tub of lard.

But you all help cheer me up.

Seriously, I'm very, very happy to be here, and I thank all of you.

(completely non-sca, but had to just comment...)

at 6' exactly, if I'm not slouching, and 165lbs - a full 20 lbs more than I used to be before I hit 30 - these stats really make me less worried about putting a few extra ounces on by having another pie.

Mmm. pie.

Egad theres a lot of data to enter this morning. I'll get on it.

Anyone happen to have a link to sites about BMI and/or median height/weigh figures?

Does anyone have a site they are willing to post the graph of the results? (no names will be attached)

Thanks,
Sean

I have data entered through the end of page 3. I'll resume after lunch. If you see your data on this sheet and you want it changed please go back to your original post and edit it IN BOLD with the correction. That will keep this from turning into a 40 page thread too quickly and I have everyone entered in order so I can find your data easier. The graph will come soon. Google Documents is a good idea.

Name Gender age Height

Depending on how you're formatting it, I can throw it up on Outlands.org.

If you're just throwing it together in Excel, I can copy and paste straight to the web site from there and it'll keep most of the formatting.

New consolodated list. I seem to be in the middle of the pack for both height and weight. I'm going to start messing with the data to get some topographical plots but I need to proofread a patent application first.

Aaron · Post by **Aaron** » Thu Sep 10, 2009 1:36 pm

So age vs. weight is basically random. It doesn't matter what age you are, you can be fat or thin.

But as you get taller, you weigh more. This makes good sense.
