glucose & fatty acids from blood

10

Type I muscle fibres?

red fibres, slow oxidative, slow twitch, fatigue resistant
contain:
large amount of myoglobin, many mitochondria
many blood capillaries
generate A TP aerobically (oxidative)
split ATP at a slow rate
slow contraction velocity, resistant to fatigue
found in large numbers in postural muscles
needed for aerobic activities like long distance running

11

Type IIA muscle fibres?

red fibres, fast oxidative, fast twitch, fatigue resistant
contain:
large amount of myoglobin, many mitochondria, many capillaries
high capacity for generating ATP by oxidation. Split ATP at a very rapid rate, hence, high contraction velocity o resistant to fatigue but not as much as slow oxidative fibres
needed for middle distance running and swimming

12

Type IIB muscle fibres?

white fibres, fast glycolytic, fast twitch
• contain:
o low myoglobin content, few mitochondria, few capillaries
o large amount of glycogen, split ATP very quickly, anaerobic glycolysis o fatigue easily
o needed for explosive sports like sprinting
