Competitors who wear red win more than those that are dressed in any other color, according to study in Germany.
 小題1:  Experts believe that red could make individuals and teams feel more confident as well as being perceived by others as more aggressive.

One fighter wore blue and the other wore red. They then showed them the same recordings but digitally manipulated the clothing to exchange the colors.    小題3:   “If one competitor is strong and the other is weak, it won’t change the outcome of the fight,” said Norbert Hagemann, who led the study. “ 小題4:  ”
