Fiber type predominance in athletes may have a significant genetic component, influencing their sport selection and performance.

“i do think that there's a big genetic component to”

“if i had to pick one i think there's a big genetic component there — and probably at baseline and then your response to exercise as well but it it seems to me that most people will gravitate towards events that they're pretty good at and they don't do the things that they're not good at”

“if you do your steady state Runner cyclist swimmer rower things like that um I I would generally be looking for their slow to fibers be very large uh if if not the same size as their fast fibers often times larger at a baseline it's not the case”

“I I do think that I could improve certain aspects of that for sure but I I don't think it's going to uh myself move me to you know up a couple notches”

“if I had to pick one I think there's a big genetic component there um and probably at Baseline and then your response to exercise as well but it it it seems to me that most people gravitate towards events that they're pretty good at and they don't do the things that they're not good at so I I think that makes it difficult to study this anyway but I do think that there's a big genetic component to it”
