An individual's ability to excel in certain types of sports may be due to different muscle fiber types

Certain muscle types allow some people, like marathoners, to have the ability to be involved in sports which require sustained activity of their muscles, while other muscle types, like in sprinters, allow people to excel in sports which require a rapid burst of muscle activity but fatigue quickly. The sustained activity of muscles in marathon runners is due to the higher yield of ATP per glucose. What differences would you predict for marathoners' muscles compared to sprinters'? What will be an ideal response?
