Muscle fibre composition and energy utilization in CFL football players.
Little research has been carried out with professional football players. The purpose of the present study was to compare the size of ST and FT fibres of athletes playing different positions. The results indicate that little variability exists between backfielders and linemen and that large FT fibres are representative of successful professional football players.
