If we're not going with the fact that Lalafell must be able to hold their own physically to continuously keep up with their Hyur and Roegadyn counterparts in the Yellowjackets, the Blades, the Sultansworn... then it means that a -lot- of Lalafell are just able to fight at better standards. Their skill level in terms of combat knowhow and such would have to be, in average, at higher level than their larger counterparts.
We're applying the laws of physics, reasonably so, to a world in which we don't know what the laws are.
This sort of sums up my thoughts entirely. The world within Final Fantasy is NOT our world. Everything we know to be true and reasonable may not apply in entirety in ARR especially with aether and other magical variants being as shrouded and undefined as they currently are. Those who can harness aether, like the concept behind 'chi', 'chakra', and other "inner" energies may in fact be utilizing it subconsciously to enhance their physical capabilities.
The combat and various class training missions we see in this game already disproves any sort of actual physical limits we should be adhering to. From simple menuvers in combat to more mobile actions, are we really trying to quantify what one race is capable of compared to another? I mean the Marauder storyline itself features plenty of races, and I guarantee some of the "tests" in that storyline are certainly less tied to their skill and more to their physical aptitude.
