Mitochondrial density in skeletal muscle


When muscle biopsies were taken from the legs of a world class Marathon runner and a typical couch potato, which would you expect to encompass a higher density of mitochondria. Explain why? How would the density of mitochondria in a muscle biopsy from the biceps of a weight lifter compare with those of the runner and the couch potato?
