Muscle Fibre Types

Slow twitch fibres: Slow Oxidative (Type I) Fast twitch fibres: Fast Glycolytic (Type IIb) Fast Oxidative Glyc. (Type IIb)

A. Slow Twitch Fibres Suited for repeated contractions during activities requiring a force output of < 20-25% of max force output Examples: lower power activities, endurance events

B) Fast Twitch Fibres Significantly greater force and speed generating capability than slow twitch fibres Well suited for activities involving high power Examples: sprinting, jumping, throwing

Myoglobin Protein that delivers oxygen to muscles Slow-twitch muscles are _____ in myoglobin Fast-twitch muscles are ______ in myoglobin

Approximate Distribution of Muscle Fibre Types for Different Sports

Slow-Twitch Most active during: long-distance running, swimming, and cycling Red or dark in colour Generate and relax tension slowly; able to maintain a lower level of tension for long durations Low levels of myosin ATPase and glycolytic enzymes High levels of oxidative enzymes

Fast-Twitch Ideal for: short sprints, power lifting, and explosive jumping Pale in colour Ability to tense and relax quickly; generate large amounts of tension with low endurance levels High levels of myosin ATPase and glycolytic enzymes

3 Fibre Types  Type I or Slow-Oxidative (SO)  Generate energy slowly  Fatigue-resistant  Depend on aerobic processes  Type IIA or Fast-Oxidative Glycolytic (FOG)  Intermediate-type muscle fibres  Allow for high-speed energy release  Allow for glycolytic capacity  Type IIB of Fast-Glycolytic (FG)  Store glycogen and high levels of enzymes  Allow for quick contraction without the need for oxygen

The Muscle Biopsy Used to determine muscle fibre type 1.Injection of local anesthetic into the muscle being sampled 2. Incision of approximately 5-7mm is made in the skin and fascia of the muscle 3. The piece of tissue ( mg) removed via the biopsy needle is imbedded in OCT compound 4. The sample is frozen in isopentane cooled to –180C

Oxidative fibres Small diameter Muscle Biopsy Muscle stained with myosin ATPase Black = Type II Light = Type I Proportion is genetically determined
