Explain the characteristics of the three types of muscle fiber: slow twitch, fast twitch oxidative and fast twitch glycolytic. Include in your answer: • Note the color of muscle fiber, the rate of contraction, the sustainability of contraction that are characteristic of each. • Explain differences in metabolism, differences in the distribution of capillaries and mitochondria. • Give an example of what types of activities promote each of these fibers. • Describe the difference in distribution of these fibers between the sexes.
