New cards

slow oxidative (SO) muscle fibres

  • well-suited for endurance activities

  • highly resistant to fatigue due to their reliance on aerobic metabolism

  • good for long-distance running or cycling

2
New cards

fast oxidative glycolytic (FOG) muscle fibres

  • versatile and can handle both aerobic and anaerobic metabolism

  • contract faster than slow oxidative fibers and can generate more force

  • good for middle-distance running, swimming, or team sports

3
New cards

fast glycolytic (FG) muscle fibres

  • suited for short bursts of intense, powerful activity

  • prone to fatigue more quickly compared to slow oxidative fibers

  • good for weightlifting, sprinting, and explosive movements heavily
