No actual digital data available
(UPI) — Canadian and U.S. researchers say there is a direct correlation between the length of fingers and being motivated to hit the gym.
Researchers at the University of Alberta and University of California-Riverside, who conducted a study using 1,000 white mice, said the findings seem to support a stronger connection between digit length, voluntary exercise and high levels of prenatal stress hormones — indicated by the difference in activity level between the control mice and the selectively bred, active mice.
In between guffaws, I plan to exercise the longest finger I have in response.

How long before someone proposes a finger-stretching machine to make people more willing to go to the gym?
(Seriously: correlation is not our friend, sometimes).
