When it comes to A level athletes and body types and body types that produce best mma fighters
There are so many different body types In mma. But with all this talk about A type athletes we know with a lot of sports and positions in different sports body type matters and are different body types. Gymnast are getting smaller while Olympic swimmers have longer and longer torsos
also most people are born with the three muscle fiber types
slow twitch muscle fiber this is what distance runners and marathon runners have and usually the once winning gold medals in marathons at the Olympics will have itleast 70 to 80% slow twitch muscle fiber. So slow twitch muscle fiber is for the gas tank
There is fast twitch muscle fiber A
which is what 100 meter sprinters and high jump athletes have but these muscles tire easily but a sprinter in the Olympics will have 70 to 80 percent of fast twitch muscle fiber A when they are born
There is fast twitch muscle fiber B
which is the middle between fast twitch A muscle fiber and slow twitch muscle fibers
clearly connor mcgredgor born with high amounts of fast twitch muscle fiber A including boxers like deontay wilder
But then there are fighters like nat diaz and Tyson fury who have great gas tanks who have more fast twitch muscle fiber B
George st pierre talks about being fast twitch a muscle dominant so he would focus his training on being energy efficient. He had speed and athletics but had to train to maintain his gas tank
Also with muscle fibers the body types that match up are
ectomorphs the skinny have hard time putting on fat and muscle tend to be slow muscle twitch dominant
I don't know if there really is a ectomorph in mma but these are guys super skinny and the type of bodies you see with long distance marathons
mesomorphs tend to be fast twitch muscle fiber and explosive. Power equals mass times acceleration. They have athletic build wide shoulders long legs long arms and put on muscle east and put on very little fat. Lebron james George st pierre
endomorph body types tend to be fast twitch muscle fiber but the slower fast twitch muscle fiber but can store more energy aka fat. These people tend to put on fat easy and muscle easy Daniel cormier
