Types of muscle fibres - fast twitch, slow twitch (GCSE PE)

[isaactaylor]

Just to let y’all know type 2b is very rare.Gazelles or house cats have them but they are not very large but very springy.

Doing explosive workouts gets 2x fibers heavy lifting gets 2a and endurance training like running gets the type 1 fibers, you can recruit all finer types but cannot be great in all of them, for me I train all 3 but focus on type 2x and 2a fibers instead of type 1, this means I’ve got more muscle mass and explosiveness instead of endurance. Still I have decent endurance but I’m more on the explosiveness and strength side of things

I love it when educational bodies dont even know the correct terms for what they teach about, heads up the official name is "type 2x"i have no clue why people call them type 2b outside of maybe feeling like "x"is not proffesional enough, it should also be noted the type you have is dependent on multiple factors including genes but also training, and it is possible for fibers to convert over years of training to a diffrent type based of the training itself.I also see some person going "type 2x are very rare, only gazelles or cats have them"they are rare within the body, but, everybody has them, some people have more some people less.

Within your body, within every muscle!there is all types, just to diffrent amounts, and this should really viewed as more a spectrum of "fast twich to slow"then concrete types as there is alot we dont understand and the existence of "hybrid fibers"proves it.

edit:i know i came off super rude and mean but look this is basic stuff and this is people we trust to teach our youth

When I do have my sporty phase I go out on a 5-7km run km what’s I‘ve hit the half way point that’s my break and I’ll go back home. I love cardio if you really work hard enough and push through your become a machine you can do stuff a lot longer sure you may not be as explosive. I‘m around 175 but I feel a little bit taller but I don’t know as for weight I’m around 60kg some days I might weigh more or less all depends anyway naturally my body has and always will be built for Slow Twitch. I kinda wish I had more explosiveness just to see what it would feel like. I’ve tried hitting the gym and trust me it’s not for me I feel uncomfortable and I’m more of a cyclist or runner but more so cyclist especially uphill nothing better in my opinion.

can i have type 2b and build endurance on top of them or would i end up losing speed?

Does being skinny means more slow twitch fibres?can we say the muscle fibre composition just by looking at them? someone please explain

[danthelambboy]

So what are type 2 fibers then? You didn't say. I think you mean that type two are found next to type 1 rather than they are a mix of type 1 and type 2

Hilarious as I have no endurance, no speed. I just have none, born with tragic genetics

How to identify we have fast twitch muscle fibres or slow twitch muscle fibres

[ks]

Btw slow twitch muscles have limited capacity for growth. Therefore, if you are predominantly slow twitch, you should stop trying to invest time at the gym to ‘grow muscle’ since it wont happen. Don’t waste your time, and do something more productive or fun, like playing a video game.
