Digit ratio as a predictor of cardiovascular endurance and speed performance among children / Izyana Najihah Ismail

The ratio between 2D (index finger) and 4D (ring finger) has produced much enthusiasm among specialist. Previous research shows that men tend to have low digit ratio than women. It showed that 2D:4D, a putative correlate of prenatal testosterone, has been found to relate performance in sports and...
