About Ape Index

The ape index is the ratio of your wingspan (arm span) to your height. It's commonly used in climbing and other sports to assess body proportions and potential advantages.

Interpretation:

  • Positive Ape Index (+): Wingspan is longer than height
  • Neutral Ape Index (0): Wingspan equals height
  • Negative Ape Index (-): Wingspan is shorter than height

Sports Applications:

  • Climbing: Longer reach can help with dynamic moves and span problems
  • Swimming: Longer arms can provide more propulsion
  • Basketball: Longer wingspan improves defensive reach
  • Boxing: Longer reach provides tactical advantages
