A Basic Study on the Skeletal Muscle from the Standpoint of Sports Aptitude*Relationship Between Muscle Fiber Composition of Skeletal Muscle and Successful Athletic Performance
【Supercategory：7. DESCENTE SPORTS SCIENCE Subcategory：7.7 Vol.7】
The muscle fiber composition of skeletal muscles in elite sports players was examined from earlier reports. Sports were classified into (1) FT fiber group, (2) Intermediate FT fiber group, (3) Intermediate ST fiber group and (4) ST fiber group according to elite players' muscle fiber composition. The results were followed.
(1) FT fiber group-Track and Field: sprint.
(2) Intermediate FT fiber group-Track and Field: middle-distance: shot-put: javelin throw, Canoe: 500m: 1000m, Ball games, Swimming: 100m, Weight lifting, Kendo.
(3) Intermediate ST fiber group-Track and Field: middle-distance: walk, Canone: 10000m, Cycling, Cross-country skiing, Speed skating, Swimming: 200m.
(4) ST fiber group-Track and Field: long-distance: marathon, Orienteering, Swimming: more 400m.
