[QUOTE="Gay-Guy, post: 12786"] Being born with a higher percentage of faster twitch muscles does not mean you are better..only faster. The downside of this is that you burn glucogen quicker. Those who are born with the slow response muscles can conserve and burn more efficiently. That is why people in rugby are mainly backs or forwards, with the rare exceptional ones as having the ability to cross over into the other ones areas of strength. For instance, sprinters will never win marathons and marathoners will never win the 100m at the Olympics. Those in between are the 3000m (or is it 5000) runners with depending of what percentage of muscle you were born with every other runner is in the events beside them (1500m, 10000m). You are born with a muscle type and you play out your career in rugby depending on it. No big deal really...that is why rugby is such a good allround game for every body type. Soccer doesn't have this, or Basketball, or most other sports. Gridiron would have made it in the same league but you don't have to be good cardiovascularly in that game. In fact, aerobics might be detrimental to a defensive linemans power/weight factor. [/QUOTE]
