I hadn’t thought of this, but my experience with weights has definitely indicated that slight (and not obviously visible) differences in joint position make a big difference in strength.
I’ve always been fascinated by the fact that, individual bone/muscle length differences aside, there really are far superior techniques for kicking a ball, jumping, lifting a weight overhead, etc. to the ones that I’d improvise on my own.
Learning physical skills is very satisfying. I have no idea if it helps the brain handle more abstract learning, if it interferes, or if it has no effect outside of the obvious physical exercise.
