relationships between energy systems and muscle-fibre types
Elaboration
- Fast-twitch muscle fibres have a high anaerobic capacity as well as a fast speed and high force of muscle contraction. These are exercised in, for example, sprint and power activities.
- Slow-twitch muscle fibres have a high aerobic capacity as well as a slow speed and low force of muscle contraction. These are exercised in, for example, endurance activities.
