I've seen these two strength sports and I was wondering on the actual physics involved between the two to determine if they had any merit in a dual person strength challenge.
1. How much role does weight, and or distribution of weight play a role in success over strength. For example, the lighter person being physically stronger. My understanding is that every kilo of extra weight will say require x % extra strength by the opponent.
2. In terms of leg wrestling, how much would position affect the result of the game, for example one person had the leg at a lower starting position.
3. How much does strength actually influence the result, and what muscle groups would be involved, and what exercises would you expect someone to be strong at to be strong at leg wrestling.
4. Would it be possible for a very strong person to defeat a weak big person. My understanding is that with leg wrestling, you would need to move your opponents lower and mid body weight to win, therefore mismatches SHOULD be an advantage to the larger person. Unless it isn't as influential as I believe.
Here is an example of legwrestling, where the female easily beats the guy. I looked at 20-30 videos, and in nearly every case, the bigger person won.
Here is Mas Wrestling
In Mas wrestling, how much is related to strength, and how much weight?
I understand that its somewhat hard to gauge the relationship between extra weight and extra strength, much alike punching power with faster but smaller athletes vs bigger but slower athletes. There would theoretically be an optimal point however.
If you had to assess the two, which one would be the most realistic in terms of strength for a dual person strength challenge.
