There are 3 types of muscle fibers. 1 fast glycolytic as seen in sprinters and quater horses, 2 slow oxidative as seen in marathon runners and thorough bred horses. (pardon the spelling) 3. oxidative a combo you can breed for this. In the 60's the russians would test their olympic athletes for there muscle type and if they weren't ideal for their particular event would not allow them to train anymore. You can train to maximize the type of muscle fiber or to work towards the other way but your type of fiber will allow you to go farther with equall conditioning.
