This reduces the exclusion of smaller athletes in sports where physical size gives a significant advantage.

The existence of weight divisions gives rise to the practice of weight cutting . It is generally considered an advantage to be the largest individual in a weight division, therefore some athletes will work hard to lose weight through dieting and dehydration prior to weigh ins to meet the required weight class.
