1). Name the two major types of muscle fibers and describe key differences between them.
2). Name the energy system that is primarily used with each type of fiber.
3). Give an example of of one activity that is primarily utilized by each fiber type.
Your Answer:
1. The two major types of muscle fibers are slow-twitch fibers and fast-twitch fibers. The main differences between the two are that the rate they fatigue, the amount of force they can apply at once, and the way they look. Slow-twitch fibers don't get tired quickly, but they don't contract very quick and aren't as strong powerful. These fibers are also a red muscle fiber. Now fast-twitch fibers contract very quickly and with a lot of force and power, but they fatigue very quickly. Theses are also white muscle fibers. So slow-twitch fibers have greater endurance but less force while fast-twitch fibers have greater force but less endurance.
2. Slow-twitch muscle fibers would use an aerobic energy system which requires the use of oxygen. It breaks down glucose to use it as energy and fuel the body so it can do and sustain a lot of movement and exercise. Fast-twitch muscle fibers ru
3. Slow-twitch muscles would be used for activities that would require a longer use of the muscle for example running a marathon or swimming. These muscles would be able to sustain someone for the whole duration of the marathon. For fast-twitch muscles, activities like powerlifting or sprinting would use these fibers because it's more of a "one and done" fast energy kind of activity.
