Research says between swimming, sprinting and other sports, athletic build can play a large role in an athlete's success.
While not all competitive athletes who find success in a specific sport have the same build, some do. Some world class swimmers are tall with long limbs; some elite weightlifters have shorter arms and legs with thick muscles; some sprinters have slim legs and narrow hips.
Someone with fast-twitch muscle fibers — they contract quickly but also tire quickly — might excel at sprinting in both track and field and swim events. Athletes with fast-twitch muscles can also excel at activities that require power and strength.
