| Skeletal muscle tissue
is composed of two general types of muscle fibers - fast-twitch and slow-twitch.
Fast-twitch muscle fibers are selectively recruited when heavy work is demanded of the
muscles, and strength and power are needed. They contract quickly, providing short
bursts of energy, and are therefore used for high-intensity, low-endurance activities,
such as sprinting, weightlifting, shot-putting, and swinging a golf club. However,
fast-twitch muscle fibers become exhausted quickly. Pain and cramps rapidly develop from
the buildup of lactic acid, which is a byproduct of the metabolism of this kind of muscle fiber. Slow -twitch muscle fibers produce a steady,
low-intensity, repetitive contraction. They do not tire easily and are recruited when
endurance is needed. Therefore, slow-twitch muscle fibers are used for low-intensity,
high-endurance activities, such as long distance running.
The duration and intensity of your
activity will influence the physiology of your muscle tissue and the development of your
muscle fibers. Endurance athletes tend to develop a greater percentage of slow-twitch
muscle fibers, while power athletes tend to develop a greater percentage of fast-twitch
muscle fibers. One reason for this is that in power athletes, the fast-twitch muscle
fibers increase in size to store more ATP and CP. ATP and CP are needed for explosive energy. Another reason is that power
athletes need more muscle glycogen to fuel their muscles, while endurance athletes need
both muscle glycogen and fatty acids. |
