Description
The second digit and fourth digit (2D:4D) finger ratio is known to be an indicator
of in utero androgen influence. Here, I review current research concerning 2D:4D
ratio, particularly in regards to muscle strength, muscle mass, and athletic
ability. Studies on athletes have shown a significant negative correlation
between the ratio and athleticism and an inconsistent correlation with muscle
mass and muscle strength. I propose a research study on the relationship
between the 2D:4D ratio and Crossfit athletes and its relationship to muscle
mass and muscle strength.
