Sumo wrestlers are usually very large, appearing overweight to the point of [[obesity]], although they also tend to be very strong and are fit enough to cope with intense physical activity over short periods of time. While competing, they wear a special loincloth called a mawashi and also do their hair in a particular form of topknot according to their rank.
