I found the full exercise on the internet. Attached is an image of the characteristics and the types of muscle fibres.

Fast twitch:
- few mitochondria (most of the energy comes from acid lactic fermentation)
- low myoglobin content (O2 is not used as the main source of energy)
- shorter twitches
- anaerobic (uses mainly glucose and no O2)
- easily fatigued (as soon as glucose storage finishes fatigue comes in)
- high glycogen content (glucose as the main source of energy and therefore more glucose storage in the form of glycogen)

Slow twitch:
- high myoglobin content (energy comes from O2 and therefore is needed much myoglobin)
- aerobic (uses O2)
- low glycogen content (as O2 is the main source of energy, glucose is not needed as much)
-longer twitches
