What are the two energy sources for contraction?
- Anaerobic
- Aerobic
What are the two energy sources for contraction?
- Anaerobic
- Aerobic
What are the features of Anaerobic energy source?
- short term
- fast energy production
- no oxygen required
What are the features of aerobic energy source?
- long term, steady
- slower energy production
- oxygen required
What produces more ATP out of aerobic and anaerobic?
Aerobic
How long does ATP stores provide energy?
2-4 seconds
How long does CP provide energy for ATP resynthesis?
20 seconds
What are the three muscle fiber types?
- red
- white
- intermediate
What are the features of the red muscle fibers?
- high myoglobin
- high aerobic enzymes
- slow
What is myoglobin?
A red pigment caused by the oxygen iron binding
Why are red muscle fibers slow?
Because they have the myosin type 1
What are the features of white muscle fibers?
- Low myoglobin
- Low aerobic enzymes
- Fast
Why are white muscle fibers fast?
Because they have the myosin type 11x
What are the features like in the intermediate muscle fibers?
In between red and white
What are the features like in the intermediate muscle fibers?
In between red and white
