How to Use the Ape Index Calculator
To use this calculator, input your height in centimeters into the height field, then input your wingspan (the measure from fingertip to fingertip with arms outstretched) also in centimeters into the wingspan field. Then, click the “Calculate” button to see your Ape Index.
How the Ape Index is Calculated
The Ape Index is calculated by dividing your wingspan by your height. The result is a number that represents the ratio between these two measurements. An Ape Index greater than 1 means your wingspan is greater than your height, which can be an advantage in sports like rock climbing. An Ape Index less than 1 means your wingspan is less than your height.
Limitations of the Ape Index Calculator
It is important to note that the Ape Index is a simple ratio and does not take into account other factors that might contribute to athletic performance or the proportions of the rest of the body. This calculator assumes that the entered measurements are accurate and uses standard arithmetic for calculation. Errors in measurement or input can lead to incorrect results.
