WHAT PHYSIOLOGICAL ADAPTATIONS OCCUR TO SLOW AND FAST TWITCH MUSCLE FIBRES?
Slow twtich - Increased myoglobin enhancing oxygen utilisation
Fast twitch -
•Increased storage of ATP and PC, providing greater fuel supply
•Increased lactic acid tolerance, delaying fatigue
•Increased glycogen supply, improving efficiency and duration of anaerobic fuel supply
•Muscle hypertrophy
