An athlete trains for a weight-lifting event in the Olympics. What type of muscle fiber would be the most important for this ath

lete to develop?
Select one:
a. Slow twitch, because they contain more mitochondria than fast twitch fibers
b. Fast twitch, because they primarily use aerobic respiration
c. Fast twitch, because they primarily use lactic acid fermentation
d. Slow twitch, because they can contract for long periods of time without fatiguing

Answer:

The correct answer will be option c.

Explanation:

Two types of skeletal muscles are used in exercise: fast twitch and slow twitch.

Slow-twitch muscles help in long-endurance exercises like marathon running as they have more mitochondria and use aerobic respiration to produce energy.

But fast-twitch especially types IIb muscle is used in the exercise which requires powerful bursts like weight-lifting and sprinting as fibres do not have the capability to store oxygen so begin producing energy by lactic acid fermentation.

Thus, option c is the correct answer.

Skeletal muscle fibers are classified as ""fast"" or ""slow"" based upon what factor?
andrey2020 [161]

Answer:

Skeletal muscles fibre are classified base on how the produce energy.

Explanation:

Skeletal muscles fibres consist of bundles of cells that form muscles which contain myobrills.

Skeletal muscles are classified based on how the produce energy;

Type 1 or slow pitch muscle fibres are more efficient and last for a long period of time. They are use for postural maintenance or endurance. It use aerobic respiration to produce energy or ATP.

Type 11 or fast twitch muscle fibres use anaerobic respiration and are for short speed and fatigue more easily than type 1.
