Muscle Fibre Types Flashcards
Muscle fibre types (3)
- slow oxidative fibres (SO)
- fast oxidative glycolytic (FOG)
- fast glycolytic (FG)
slow twitch muscle fibre AKA

SO are associated with _______ work
aerobic work
SO produce a _____ force over a _____ period of time
- small
- long
SO have ____ resistance to fatigue
high
SO are suited to _____ based activities
endurance
example of event SO suited to
marathon
fast twitch muscle fibre AKA (2)
- fast oxidative glycolytic (FOG)
- fast glycolytic (FG)

low
fast twitch are suited to _____ based activities
power/speed/strength
example of event FOG suited to
400-800m

slow twitch:
- a_______
- s_______
- e_______
- ____ duration (time)
- ____ intensity (effort)
- aerobic
- stamina
- endurance
- high (long time)
- low (low effort)
fast twitch:
- a_______
- e_______
- p_______
- ____ duration (time)
- ____ intensity (effort)
- anaerobic
- explosive
- powerful
- low (short time)
- high (high effort)
mitochondria (2)
- generate energy cells need to function.
- cells in muscle fibres need lots energy to help us move
which structure requires lots of mitochondria
slow oxidative
myoglobin
red pigment fount in muscle cells - used to store oxygen
which structure is myoglobin good for
slow oxidative
glycogen (3)
- eaten as carbohydrate
- stored as glycogen in muscles & liver
- turned into glucose when energy needed
phosphocreatine (PC store)
helps provide energy for muscle
which structures is phosphocreatine good for
- fast oxidative glycolytic
- fast glycolytic
triglycerides (2)
- lipids (fats) that form much of stored body fat
- circulate blood as lipoproteins
which structure is triglycerides good for
slow oxidative
