hoyle (and everyone else), don't mark me as racist, but every swimmer you posted was white, and every sprinter you posted was black. to the "eye", darker skin is going to have a more defined look - why else would bodybuilders / fitness models bother getting spray tanned before a competition?

Now no way you can look at these guys and think what you are seeing is all color. However It is not a simple as saying swiming makes you look like this and sprinting makes you look like this. Basoth groups have vastly different genetics. Sprinter much more fast twist muscels. That is why they can sprint. The work out routing also
vastly different. Sprinter is not normally thought of when you think of cardio most whould think more of distance runners. Looke at these guys and you would get a very different picture. Again very different genetics and workout routine. However both groups of runners will have less body fat under the skin than swimmers.

no, i'm not saying it's ALL color. i didn't want to come across as a racist b/c for one, i do think it's easier for blacks to maintain a lower BF% than white males. that's all genetics.

Try a sprinters work out sometime. It is crazy cardio, but you are right, they don't run for five miles. I personally get way more out of a good sprinting workout than what most people consider cardio.
