>>When you relate this to weight loss, the more muscle you have, the more
you increase your basal metabolism, which will increase the calories you
burn. In addition, this changes the body's energy systems. Not only will
the sprinter's legs be heavier and more muscular, but the muscles will
expect to output maximum power for brief durations, using stored
carbohydrates as the primary fuel. They don't need fat, so the body
doesn't need to store it. The muscles of the distance runner will be
using fats as fuel, so the body will store some fat to meet this need, and
will be stubborn to give up its last reserves.
