What are the Fast twitch muscles and slow twitch muscles?
Fast twitch muscle fibres are ones used for sudden bursts of physical activity, such as sprinting or weight lifting. Slow twitch muscle fibres meanwhile are designed for extended periods of contraction, such as keeping a person's head supported or maintaining a standing posture. Physiological differences between the two fibres are largely down to their different energy requirements. Slow twitch fibres have more surrounding capillaries, more mitochondria and a larger amount of myoglobin within the muscle (causing them to be red in color). Meanwhile fast twitch fibres have a store of glycogen to provide a quick burst of energy when the muscles come into action.
