DIFFERENT TYPES OF (…) SUIT FDIFFERENT ACTIVITIES
MUSCLE FIBRE
THE MUSCLE FIBRES CAN BE SLOW TWITCH (…) OR FAST TWITCH (…)
TYPE I / TYPE IIA ZND TYPE IIX
CHARACTERISTICS OF SLOW TWICH FIBRE
THEY ARE TYPE I- SUITED TO LOW INTENSITY AEROBIC WORK, THEY CAN BE USED FOR LONG PERIODS WITHOUT FATIGUING
CHARACTERISTICS OF FAST TWITCH FIBRES
TYPE IIA- USED IN ANAEROBIC WORK, BUT CAN BE IMRPOVED THROUGH ENDURANCE TRAINING TO INCREASE RESISTANCE TO FATIGUE
TYPE IIX- USED IN ANAEROBIC WORK, CAN GENERATE A MUCH GREATER FORCE THAN OTHER FIBRE TYPES BUT FATIGUE QUICKLY
