In China if you can't pass PE test, you can't graduate. PE values as much as science subjects if not more in today's Chinese education instituations of all levels.

they get surrender of soldiers of world's no .1 army 1965, 1971 , 1998

When that happen??? we did well to defend ourselves in 65/71 in both wars we destroyed more military equipment than we suffer less than you but we lost these wars ion the table, and in 98 there were no win or loss for both parties because superpowers solve this problem

why don't you stop trolling and posting something positive and solid, your ego worth nothing here

OK. I was only posting facts about sports. If you can't counter them or digest them, please ignore. I too am putting you on ignore.

What do you mean by "piggyback"? Are you suggesting women's achievements are somehow less important or less legitimate than men's? Are you suggesting it is somehow problematic if women's tennis is taken into account when comparing two countries' strength in tennis?

Nah, you are the one who purposefully ignored the achievements of Li Na, not I.

I specifically differentiated between ATP tennis and WTA tennis and said that China is way ahead of India in women's tennis. They are governed by two different bodies. If the ATP tour and WTA tour ever merge you can definitely combine them into one sport.

Body mass index of Indian 19-year-olds among lowest in 200 countries
World Health Organization guidelines define a normal BMI range as 18.5 to 24.9, overweight as 25 or higher, and obesity as 30 or higher.

India ranks third and fifth from the bottom respectively among countries where 19-year-old girls and boys have a low body mass index, according to a study in The Lancet to be published on Friday. The study provides new estimates for height and BMI trends in 2019 across 200 countries after analysing data from 2,181 studies.

BMI is measured as the weight in kg divided by the square of the height in metres. World Health Organization guidelines define a normal BMI range as 18.5 to 24.9, overweight as 25 or higher, and obesity as 30 or higher.

The mean BMI of 19-year-old boys is 20.1 in India, compared to a high of 29.6 in the Cook Islands and a low of 19.2 in Ethiopia. For Indian girls, the mean BMI is again 20.1, compared to a high of 29.0 in Tonga and a low of 19.6 in Timor-Leste. The mean height of Indian 19-year-olds is 166.5 cm for boys and 155.2 cm for girls, well below the high of Netherlands boys (183.8 cm) and girls (170 cm).

The 20 cm or higher difference between countries with the tallest and shortest mean height represents approximately 8 years of growth gap for girls and approximately 6 years for boys. For example, 19-year-old girls in India have the same mean height as 12-year-old Dutch girls, said Prof Majid Ezzati, from Imperial College, London, and senior author of the study said.

The analysis charts child and adolescent physical growth trends over 35 years. “We used 115 data sources from India with over 2.1 million participants in the analysis,” Prof Ezzati said by email. “Both height and BMI have increased from 1985 to 2019 although there is still a great deal of potential for height while curbing any future rise in obesity so programmes targeted towards the poor from birth through school years are needed.”

“In developing countries like India, we have a dual burden i.e., overnutrition and undernutrition,” said Dr A Laxmaiah, head of the Public Health Nutrition division at the National Institute of Nutrition, Hyderabad. “The prevalence of overweight and obesity among adolescents of both Indian girls and boys is lower when compared to children of developed nations. The reasons could be several, like variations in the epigenetic, dietary intakes, familial, psychosocial, parental education, occupations, income etc,” Dr Laxmaiah said.

Dr Laxmaiah stressed the need for regular diet and nutrition surveys in India to avert the increase of overweight and obesity among children and adolescents. “Overweight and obesity are mostly carried over to adult age and are causes for many metabolic disorders like insulin resistance, diabetes, hypertension, CVDs, stroke, and some cancers.”

Take these data and samples with a pinch of salt. Anything is sourced from anywhere and some paper gets published.

Check out another great source of data compilation in the link below...i.e. UN.

These world body employs people from a circuit known for nepotism. If you inquire from people about the work environment, the scandals will be clear. They are incompetent Brahmins but you cannot question them or touch them. They are not responsible to anyone. They get fat pay ( contributed by all nations) and they deliver shit.

Adolescents nowadays are really fat on average.

China performed better with regards to height as well. Its 19-year-old boys today are 8cm taller than they were in 1985, with their global rank changing from 150 in 1985 to 65 in 2019. China’s 19-year-olds, on an average, are 5.76-foot tall; Chinese girls were placed 54 on the global chart, with an average height of 5.35 feet.

For less than 10 cm taller, Chinese on average consume 5X fruits and vegetables, 10X meat products. That's a lot of input for very little gain.

 

[lonelyman]

Wondering why Indians are always ranked from bottom.

not on rapes or open shitting

 

[Beidou2020]

This might be a reason why India suck at the Olympics.

Indians are naturally short ... it is a well known fact. Even the tall ones are not of any use whatsoever. They send their tallest soldiers to confront China at the LAC and still get completely thrashed by PLA soldiers much shorter than them. What's the point of being 190 cm if you get beat to a pulp by a 165 cm guy?

Non-Sikh Indians are weak asf.

They are just Sikhs ...

They used to have their own kingdom until British came, so their becaming Indians really has nothing to do with Indians.

Non-Sikh Indians are weak asf.

Sikhs are not a strong people anyway, otherwise they would not have lost their national identity except for their turbans. They became the face of India, and they seem to be proud of it.
