I think you need to separate healthy and athletic.

It’s healthier to be a 300 pound strongman or lineman or sumo wrestler; than it is be a 300 pound “blob” of a person…..but it’s not healthier than the average person.

At the same time many of these “big boy” athletes are far more athletic than the average person.
