Ok then. The population of male adults that are 16+ in the world. No Snooker players. 99% (at least) would be able to perform an accurate stance of a Pro Snooker player if they were shown a demonstration.

From what I know, Snooker isn't a physical sport as it doesn't involve "vigorous exercise". Walking is classed as light exercise in the Medical world. Reason being is because some people (like a lot of Elders for example) can't manage vigorous exercise because of their body state. Vigorous exercise is Jogging for example. It is known that 77% of Elders (60+ years) can not physically do vigorous exercise. Which is why 30 minutes daily of light exercise is required for a healthy life. Which is what most people (who aren't disabled) can do. I'd say at least 95% in the UK can anyway. Snooker players can get through this as pro's train 8 hours per day, which they will get through well over 30 minutes of walking time in that which keeps them healthy. A Sport isn't just about physical contact or physical activity, as long as it is able to keep you healthy and you can participate, it is a Sport for me. That's my definition of a Sport anyway, but that's just my opinion, although, being in Medicine, quite a lot take my advice. If some Elders aren't healthy but are in a state to play a Sport, I do recommend Snooker a lot.

Correct Cal. But not all at one given time you can't. It is impossible to do so in a game of Snooker.

It can. But that is from various factors. Digesting food makes your heart rate go up, pressure or tension can lead to your heart pumping more blood around faster etc.

Chris, RAP, My boss and I came to a mutual agreement for me to leave. So I'm back in a different office but on familiar ground in Medicine.

Correct again.

If you were to record Niel Robertson's hear rate from his first round match in the World Championships not so long ago and the final, there would be huge difference.

Here's to a 2014 full of fumbling and groping strangers in the back of a transit van in a secluded car park somewhere in Lincolnshire
