Though, the avatar's size and constitution may have a non-stat based effect on the player's abilities due to physics.

And where did you get that "younger players always seemed more stronger, faster and evasive than the older players"? Kirito, Asuna and Klein all seemed much faster and agile than say, Kuradeel, Heathcliff and Agil.
