The myoglobin stores some of the needed O 2 within the fibers themselves and is partially responsible for giving oxidative fibers a dark red color. The ability of slow oxidative fibers to function for long periods without fatiguing makes them useful in maintaining posture, producing isometric contractions, and stabilizing bones and joints. Because they do not produce high tension, they are not used for powerful, fast movements that require high amounts of energy and rapid cross-bridge cycling.
Fast glycolytic fibers primarily use anaerobic glycolysis as their ATP source. They have a large diameter and possess large volumes of glycogen which is used in glycolysis to generate ATP quickly. Because of their reliance on anaerobic metabolism, these fibers do not possess substantial numbers of mitochondria, a limited capillary supply, or significant amounts of myoglobin, resulting in a white coloration for muscles containing large numbers of these fibers.
Fast glycolytic fibers fatigue quickly, permitting them to only be used for short periods. However, during these short periods, the fibers are able to produce rapid, forceful contractions associated with quick, powerful movements. Fast oxidative fibers are sometimes called intermediate fibers because they possess characteristics that are intermediate between slow oxidative fibers and fast glycolytic fibers.
These fibers produce ATP relatively quickly, and thus can produce relatively high amounts of tension, but because they are oxidative, they do not fatigue quickly. Hamada, T.

Sport 5, — There are two types of skeletal muscle fibers, fast-twitch and slow-twitch, and they each have different functions that are important to understand when it comes to movement and exercise programming. Slow-twitch muscle fibers are fatigue resistant, and focused on sustained, smaller movements and postural control.
They contain more mitochondria and myoglobin, and are aerobic in nature compared to fast-twitch fibers. Slow-twitch fibers are also sometimes called type I or red fibers because of their blood supply. Fast-twitch muscle fibers provide bigger and more powerful forces, but for shorter durations and fatigue quickly. They are more anaerobic with less blood supply, hence they are sometimes referred to as white fibers or type II.
Skeletal muscles contain both types of fibers, but the ratios can differ depending on a variety of factors including muscle function, age and training. Skeletal muscles contain both types of fibers, but the ratios can differ depending on a variety of factors, including muscle function, age and training.
If you are a sports performance specialist , it's crucial to remember the differences between the two muscle types. The two types of skeletal muscle fibers are slow-twitch type I and fast-twitch type II. Slow-twitch muscle fibers support long distance endurance activities like marathon running, while fast-twitch muscle fibers support quick, powerful movements such as sprinting or weightlifting.
Marathons, distance running, swimming, cycling, power walking, endurance training. Powerlifting, sprinting, jumping, strength and agility training. Slow-twitch muscle fibers have high concentrations of mitochondria and myoglobin.
Although they are smaller than the fast-twitch fibers, they are surrounded by more capillaries 1,2. This combination supports aerobic metabolism and fatigue resistance , particularly important for prolonged submaximal aerobic exercise activities. Type I fibers produce less force and are slower to produce maximal tension lower myosin ATPase activity compared to type II fibers. But they are able to maintain longer-term contractions , key for stabilization and postural control 1,2.
Typically, these have lower concentrations of mitochondria, myoglobin, and capillaries compared to our slow-twitch fibers, which means they are quicker to fatigue 1,2. These larger-sized fibers are also produce a greater and quicker force , an important consideration for power activities 1,2. Slow oxidative SO fibers contract relatively slowly and use aerobic respiration oxygen and glucose to produce ATP.
Fast oxidative FO fibers have fast contractions and primarily use aerobic respiration, but because they may switch to anaerobic respiration glycolysis , can fatigue more quickly than SO fibers. Lastly, fast glycolytic FG fibers have fast contractions and primarily use anaerobic glycolysis.
The FG fibers fatigue more quickly than the others. Most skeletal muscles in a human contain s all three types, although in varying proportions.
Fast fibers hydrolyze ATP approximately twice as quickly as slow fibers, resulting in much quicker cross-bridge cycling which pulls the thin filaments toward the center of the sarcomeres at a faster rate. The primary metabolic pathway used by a muscle fiber determines whether the fiber is classified as oxidative or glycolytic.
If a fiber primarily produces ATP through aerobic pathways it is oxidative. More ATP can be produced during each metabolic cycle, making the fiber more resistant to fatigue. As a result, glycolytic fibers fatigue at a quicker rate. The oxidative fibers contain many more mitochondria than the glycolytic fibers, because aerobic metabolism, which uses oxygen O 2 in the metabolic pathway, occurs in the mitochondria. The SO fibers possess a large number of mitochondria and are capable of contracting for longer periods because of the large amount of ATP they can produce, but they have a relatively small diameter and do not produce a large amount of tension.
SO fibers are extensively supplied with blood capillaries to supply O 2 from the red blood cells in the bloodstream. The SO fibers also possess myoglobin, an O 2 -carrying molecule similar to O 2 -carrying hemoglobin in the red blood cells.
