Basically the time under stress brings in red muscle or the slow twitch fibers into action.
If the movement is controlled and the set goes longer the red fibers are used.. If the movement is explosive and heavy then the white fibers are used.
For example squatting for 15 rep range incorporates red fibers of the thighs very well

What exercise is best for muscle 1 type fibers?
The type one muscle fibers are characterized as being the slow twitch oxidative muscle fibers. They contract slowly, they have the highest tolerance to fatigue as compared to the other types of muscle fibers, and there main fuel source tends to be triglycerides. This being said the best way to train this type of muscle fiber would be with low intensity endurance type exercises, such as jogging a long distance, or walking, or performing 50 push ups vs. 8 reps on the bench press.
Which muscle fibers are best suited for running a marathon?
Type I (red) muscle fibers, which have slow oxidative characteristics, are those primarily called on for long-distance running. These are more commonly referred to as 'slow-twitch' muscle fibers.

Which muscle fibers are best suited for activities that involve lifting large heavy objects for a short period of time?
Type II muscle fibers, also known as fast-twitch fibers, are best suited for activities that involve lifting large heavy objects for a short period of time. These fibers generate a greater amount of force and power but fatigue quickly, making them ideal for explosive, high-intensity activities like heavy lifting. They rely primarily on anaerobic metabolism for energy, allowing for short bursts of strength.
What kind of workout is best for building muscle AND losing fat?
An exercise routine that incorporates cardio and weight lifting is highly efficient at building muscle and burning fat.
What kind of run is best to get lean legs Sprints or distance?
Distance, hands down. Sprinting will build your fast-twitch muscle fibers, which are typically larger than slow-twitch muscle fibers. You hardly ever see a sprinter with the skinny legs of a distance runner. It just doesn't happen.
