Fibre types

Question 1

Slow twitch fibres (type 1)

Answer 1

Fibres with a slower contraction speed
High mitochondria / myoglobin
Fatigue resistent
Uses aerobic energy

Question 2

Fast oxidative glycolytic (type 2a)

Answer 2

Fibres that have a moderate force
Moderate fatigue resistent
Both aerobic / anaerobic

Question 3

Fast glycolytic (type 2x)

Answer 3

Fibres that have a very fast contraction speed
Low mitochondria / myoglobin
Fatigue quickly
Uses anaerobic energy
