I believe it is in part due to African Americans typically having higher muscle mass as well as higher peak bone density, which is good for boxing and sprinting (more explosive movements), but is the opposite with swimming.

Which burns more fat a lean muscle or bulk muscle?

Answer There's no such thing. Muscle is muscle. There are no "lean" muscles or "bulky"muscles. Some people have a greater muscle mass, some have less muscle mass- but that mass is muscle. A pound of muscle is going to require energy to stay around. If you have a greater muscle mass, you'll have a greater metabolism. He's right you know. This is really splitting hairs!


What is eGFR (African-American?

eGFR (estimated glomerular filtration rate) is a measure of kidney function and is used to assess how well the kidneys are filtering waste from the blood. The equation for calculating eGFR for African-Americans includes a correction factor based on race because this population tends to have higher muscle mass and therefore higher creatinine levels, which can affect the accuracy of eGFR calculations if not accounted for.
