From a personal observation standpoint, African Americans seem to excel in sports that require fast-twitch muscles (sprinting, football, basketball) compared to other races. Societal and environmental factors may be at play, such as a career in athletics being a more desirable choice for many African Americans.
However, it's hard to deny that the vast majority of these sports, which are primarily made up of African Americans, also have training regimens that are extremely demanding on the body.
