And to the sprinter's physique comments you make. Have I ever seen a fat sprinter. SURE I HAVE. Did ever see the guys in the NFL? They sprint and many are fat. Do a google search of Masters Sprinters - many are fat. The Olympic sprinters physiques are the result of WEIGHT TRAINING NOT sprints.
Wow...clearly you have no idea what you're talking about. Players in the NFL are by far some of the greatest athletes in the world. The only "fat" ones are the linemen, who, by virtue of their position, HAVE to maintain a weight of about 300-320 pounds in order to compete. If we ignore the offensive/defensive linemen, then we see 250 pound linebackers SPRINTING around with 6-7% bodyfat!! Please attempt to understand the contexts from which your draw your conclusions!
