Q

slow oxidative fibres

A
  • designed for aerobic exercise
  • use oxygen
  • produce a small amount of tension over a long period of time
  • endurance athletes
  • e.g. marathon runner

Q

fast oxidative glycolytic

A
  • designed for anaerobic exercise
  • produce a large amount of force over a long period of time
  • fatigue easily
  • produce less force than fast glycolytic
  • e.g. 1500m running

Q

fast glycolytic

A
  • designed for anaerobic exercise
  • produce a large amount of force over a long period of time
  • fatigue easily
  • produce the greatest force
  • 100m sprint

Q

training slow oxidative fibres

A

training can be done daily as fibre damage does not occur at this intensity

Q

training fast glycolytic muscle fibres

A

at least 48 hours should be left in between training

once used to exhaustion, they will take 4-10 days to recover
