Fast Fibers
less extensive blood supply and fewer mitochondria because oxidative metabolism is of a secondary importance, most ATP production is without oxygen
anaerobic metabolism
what two changes can exercise change in muscle fibers?
changes in their oxidative ATP synthesizing capacity and muscle size
slow twitch fiber usually appear in what color meat?
dark
Splti atp at a rapid rate and thus have a fast contraction velocity after stimulation, but fatigue rapidly
fast twitch
The inability of the muscle to contract forcefully after long periods of activity
muscle fatigue
Regular anaerobic, short duration, high intensity resistance training, such as weight lifting can cause..
muscle hypertrophy
what stores oxygen temporarily until the muscle needs it?
myoglobin
fast twitch fibers in meat usually gives the meat what color appearance?
white
name a couple reasons for muscle fatigue
-accumulation of waste products (lactic acid) -depletion of ATP, glycogen, and/or creatine phosphate -insufficient oxygen to make ATP
what does white meat not have that dark meat does have?
relatively little blood supply and less myoglobin
fast twitch is best suited for what?
throwing a ball or weight lifting
