There was a post in absoluteunits of a giant basketball player (Hamad Fathy) who is 7’5” and alot of people were commenting about the likely sad state of his knees and back.
My question is if he is fully proportional and athletic with no extra weight damaging his joints, are the forces of gravity enough to do more damage to him just because of his exceptional size?
What else could slowly wear away at someone that large’s body?
In: Biology
Unfortunately, we’re four-legged creatures who decided to hold our spines upright like pool noodles. The more weight, the worse it’s gonna get, regardless of how you try to offset the issue with muscle. (Also I imagine there’s some hard limits to how much muscle a human body can support, due to limitations on food / energy processing)
