There was a report of an experiment in New Studies in Athletics (IAAF) a few years ago which appears to contradict this. The experimenters switched the soleus and gastrocnemius muscles in a dog. One of the muscles (I can't remember which) has a higher proportion of fast twitch fibers. At

t-and-f: Slow twitch/fast twitch

Netters paul, it sounds like you have running into one of the greatest myths in sports to me. First girls running 63 in H.S. do not sprinters make. Most likely they don't have any particular pre-disposition to any event and cross country would only make them stronger. While citing

This is a topic that always interest me because there is not a clear answer. It seems as though there is a balance that is needed. Charlie Francis and Loren Seagrave seem flawed in their assessments given the results of athletes they have coached. Loren has not had a successful athlete since

Well said Mike, but the rules are ever changing, and they are changing on the fly. How do we go from wild card status to you must compete to take advantage? If you look closely it is pure promotion. There is only one athlete in the US this rule directly affects. With the implementation of this

RE: t-and-f: UCLA win streak over

In this meet ESPECIALLY, any smart kid is not going to do ANYTHING to jeapardize meet points, even if he thinks he's 'right'. They'd keep going 10 laps if that's what it took to get the officials to declare the race 'complete'. Of course by that time the coaches would be yelling bloody murder.
