What else can I help you with?
What is it called when white muscle fibers that contract quickly?
Fast-twitch muscle fibers.
What is the difference between fast twitch and slow twitch muscles?
Fast-twitch fibers can deliver a quick burst of power.Slow-twitch fibers can maintain a contraction for a longer time! -Apex :]
What race has the most fast twitch fibers?
Sprints like 100- 400 meters use the most fast twitch fibers.
What is the role of slow muscle fibers and fast muscle fibers in the response of a muscle to different types of exercise?
There are two broad types of voluntary muscle fibers: slow twitch and fast twitch. Slow twitch fibers contract for long periods of time but with little force while fast twitch fibers contract quickly and powerfully but fatigue very rapidly.
What are the three types of muscle fibers?
The three type of muscle fibers are fast-twitch, slow-twitch, and hybrid.
What Type of Muscle Fibers are used in Badminton?
slow twitch and fast twitch
What are the kinds of aerobic respiration?
Slow twitch and fast twitch A muscle fibers.
Are there fast twitch muscles in your legs?
There are fast twitch muscles fibers in all of your muscles, especially in your legs.
Are athletes the same as other people?
They tend to have more fast-twitch or slow-twitch fibers, depending on what kind of athlete they are.
What are the two type of twitch muscles?
Slow Twitch-type 1- Red Fiber and Fast twitch-Type 2-White Fibers. There a few more subcategories of each but this is I am guessing what you are asking for.
What is the difference between fast-twitch and slow-twitch muscle fibers?
ofcourse not; slow twitch muscle fibers are: * smaller in diameter * red in color * depend on oxidative phosphorylation for their ATP supply * are highly vascularized (better blood supply) * have more mitochondria * more myoglobin fast twitch muscle fibers * larger * white * glycolysis is the source of ATP * less vascularized * less mitochondria * less myoglobin
Why do slow twitch muscle fibers have more mitochondria compared to fast twitch muscle fibers?
Slow twitch muscle fibers have more mitochondria compared to fast twitch muscle fibers because they rely more on aerobic metabolism for energy production, which requires a higher number of mitochondria to generate ATP efficiently.
