OT: How athletic are you?

[valenzuela]

Please answer...This poll was also made on the sporting events forum.
How athletic are you compared with ppl of your age and gender.
EDIT: on the sporting events most ppl answered they were really athletic, so if I do the poll here I will know if ppl werent honest evaluating themselves.

How can we honestly identify what percentile we're in if we don't know what we're up against?

ure up against...ppl of ure same age and gender. Anyway I screwed up I shouldnt have said the purpose of my post, because now ppl wont want to lie. On the other side I didnt want the thread closed..

To all the people who say that they're in the top 20%, I don't usually see a lot of buff poker players.

Being in the top 20% isn't exactly a huge feat when you consider just how many people are terribly unathletic, uncoordinated, and out of shape.

its not asking about pure physical fitness, but also athleticism which includes hand-eye coordination, agility etc. anyways i put myself down as top 20% because im a varsity athlete at my uni.

Give us a little more concrete understanding of what it means. Are we talking about how long you can run without getting tired? How fast you can run a mile? How much you can bench press? What?

By the results, we're either a bunch of fat slobs, or people are misunderestimating the meaning of percentile.

Great poll /images/graemlins/laugh.gif

People who visit the sports forum are probably more into sports, and thus more athletic than people in this forum.

so you would excpect lower reuslts here, right? If the same high results occured here, then that would mean those results are inconclusive.
