I'm just finishing up my undergraduate degree in linguistics. I enjoy dance, and have been recently getting into running. In the past I've also done some yoga and martial arts. Basically, just trying to be active and have fun with it! I enjoy learning more about how our bodies work and how to exercise effectively.

So essentially, the muscles that endurance athletes do have, are more myofibril (actual muscle lifting power) and less sarcoplasm (ATP storage)?

So this is maybe a dumb follow up question. But how does endurance training burn calories if your muscles aren't that large. Is it that the energy is going to bringing energy and to those muscles over a longer period of time? And supplying your body with oxygen?
