What is a Leg to Body Ratio?

A leg to body ratio is a simple metric used to describe how long someone's legs are in relation to their body. This is expressed as a ratio of leg length to body length. Leg to body ratio can be used to study athletic performance, endurance, performance, attractiveness, and other metrics. For example, some studies have concluded that a larger leg-to-body ratio translates to better endurance running performance.

Example Calculation

Let's assume the following values:

Using the formula to calculate the leg-to-body ratio:

\[ L:B = \frac{70 - 30}{70} = \frac{40}{70} \approx 0.57 \]

The leg to body ratio is approximately 0.57.
