What type of exercise do we use Fast twitch muscle fibers?

Strength and power exercise like weight lifting requires the explosive release of energy yielded by fast-twitch muscle fibers. Slow-twitch muscles are involved in endurance activity.


Fast twitch slow twitch muscles color and function?

Slow twitch fibers Slow-twitch fibers are muscle fibers that are used more when compared to the rest. Your legs are full of slow-twitch fiber because you are on your feet much of the time. Another name given for slow-twitch fiber is endurance fiber because they have been forced to adapt via being used so frequently and that is why it is harder for them to grow. Fast Twitch Fibers Fast-twitch fibers are then obviously easier to grow because they are used less. When you are working out it is like they are being challenged for the first time. That is the reason why people see the most gains with these muscles when they first start working out.

In the muscular system which muscles react quickly?

In the muscular system, the muscles that react quickly are primarily the fast-twitch muscle fibers, also known as Type II fibers. These fibers are designed for explosive movements and rapid contractions, making them essential for activities like sprinting and weightlifting. Fast-twitch fibers fatigue more quickly than slow-twitch fibers, which are more suited for endurance activities. Overall, the quick-reacting muscles are crucial for high-intensity, short-duration activities.

Why do fast twitch muscles fibers contract faster than slow twitch fibers?

Because they have a faster release of energy which causes them to slow down quicker. The twitch actually refers to the fatiguability of the fiber. So, fast twitch do produce more force, but tire 'fast'er than slow twitch, which are 'slow'er to fatigue Mark, BS Exercise Science
