Fast/Slow twitch ratio (Read 617 times)

I think the question is wrong. Ultimately, it doesn't matter what the percentage is. What matters is how we as individuals respond to training. No amount of science is going to be able to predict that for us, at least not currently. The only way to know which type of training we respond to better is to go out and try different types of training. The question is not, "Fast Twitch vs. Slow Twitch". The question becomes, "What mix of intensities seems to give me the maximum amount of benefit". It doesn't matter what those muscle types correlate to, not in a practical sense. Might some physiologist out there find interest in it? Possibly. But even then, it does no practical good, since only by looking at past training and the eventual response can we see what it is. Of course, by that point, you already have an idea as to what's working and what's not. I understand the need for some to find out the "why". I have no issue with that. This is not an indictment of the science crowd. This is, however, a matter of looking at the right problem.
