From the time of Magellan's expeditions until the end of the 18th century, European explorers reported about the Patagonians 2.7 and 3.0 m (9 and 10 ft) tall, and even an individual about 4 or 4.5 m (13 or 15 ft) tall captured by Magellan's crewmen near the Santa Cruz River (Argentina). [187]
Full hematological adaptation to high altitude is achieved when the increase of red blood cells reaches a plateau and stops. The length of full hematological adaptation can be approximated by multiplying the altitude in kilometres by 11.4 days. For example, to adapt to 4,000 metres (13,000 ft) of altitude would require 45.6 days. [27]
A 50 m × 25 m (164 ft × 82 ft) Olympic swimming pool, built to the FR3 minimum depth of 2 metres (6.6 ft) would hold 2,500 m 3 (660,000 US gal). The US National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) defines the Olympic swimming pool as 1 million litres, which is the approximate volume of the smaller FR2 pool.
The official distance became 300 meters, but many competitions continued to be in yards because the tracks were still marked for that distance. Hurdle heights also have undergone a period of evolution. Until 1984, boys ran over low hurdles 30" in height.

As a result, the official distance was fixed to 400 metres, or one lap of the stadium, and the number of hurdles was reduced to ten. The official height of the hurdles was set to 36 inches (91.4 cm).
