fibre types

Question 1

Slow twitch

Answer 1

are preferentially recruited if the event is of lower intensity. for endurance activities, maintaining posture and running long distances (red - slow)
aerobic, a large amount of energy slowly

Question 2

Fast twicth

Answer 2

if an immediate and rapid response to a stimulus is required, then the fast-twitch fibres, which are the quickest to respond, will be recruited first. for powerlifting, quick support or things like sprinting (white-fast)
anaerobic, a small amount of energy quickly

Question 3

Prefirential reccrutment

Answer 3

there is preferential recruitment where the body recruits fibres according to the activity demand. the intensity of the task will determine which muscle fibre type is preferentially recruited
for the task.
