Investigators studied physical characteristics and ability in 13 football punters. Each volunteer punted a football ten times. The investigators recorded the average distance for the ten punts, in feet. They also recorded the average hang time (time the ball is in the air before the receiver catches it), and a number of measures of leg strength and flexibility.

Format

A data frame with 13 observations on the following 7 variables.

distance

mean distance for 10 punts (feet)

hang

mean hang time (seconds)

rStrength

right leg strength (pounds)

lStrength

left leg strength (pounds)

rFlexibility

right leg flexibility (degrees)

lFlexibility

left leg flexibility (degrees)

oStrength

overall leg strength (foot-pounds)
