Can you describe the functional difference between fast and slow twitch muscles and how it impacts athletic performance?

Fast twitch muscles contract quickly and are used for explosive movements, while slow twitch muscles contract more slowly and are used for endurance activities. Athletes with a higher proportion of fast twitch muscles may excel in activities requiring quick bursts of power, such as sprinting or weightlifting, while those with more slow twitch muscles may perform better in endurance activities like long-distance running or cycling. The ratio of fast to slow twitch muscles can impact an athlete's performance in different sports based on the specific demands of the activity.

Well, I'm not completely sure of this, but in my science class we were talking about slow- twitch muscles (like your esophagus for example) and fast twitch muscles (like your leg muscles). Anyway, I asked do sloths have slow twitch muscles in their legs, and he said to look it up, so I did, and it turns out they do! So the reason is they have slow twitch gastrocnemus (calf) muscles!
