Why do sprinters, even though they only train the almost twitch muscle fibers, do not have as thick legs as bodybuilders, who only train category 2b muscle fibers?
Because the sprinters have to keep their KFA down. Bodybuilders go up in the mass phase and only down in the defi, which means they can build up significantly more. In principle, however, they are the same fibers, that's right.
Because muscle growth depends on the volume. And the higher the effort, the lower the volume. Sprinting is so exhausting that you can't do it often enough, whereas bodybuilders can exhaust your legs several times a week, so even powerlifters don't look so muscular because they drive too high intensities and can't make volume
Thank you very much
Hö, sprinters also have big legs Oo - otherwise, the training is probably less on volume and strength, should also take care in the diet not to get too heavy i guess (I'm not a sprinter) - bodybuilders also have to weight pay attention, but above all to the muscle / fat ratio. Then you also train for volume, so you don't need the strength. Result → thicker legs, maybe not the same power etc. But everything answered with dangerous half knowledge.

Because sprinters do not train muscle mass (a lot of weight, few repetitions) but strength endurance or rapid strength (many repetitions with less weight).
