What are the characteristics of fast twitch muscle fibres?

• Explosive activities, fatigue slowly
• Endurance activities, fatigue slowly
• Explosive activities, fatigue quickly
• Endurance activities, fatigue quickly

Which one of the following is a key characteristic of slow twitch muscle fibers? 

• They contain large amounts of Mitochondria
• They are fast to fatigue

• produce more force and have low amounts of mitochondria

• produce less force and have low amounts of mitochondria

Fast twitch muscle fibres can continue to contract for long periods of time.

• True

• False

Muscle fibres which use oxygen well are

• slow twitch

• fast twitch

• full twitch

What does the term oxygen debt mean?

• A temporary shortage of oxygen in muscle tissues due to vigorous exercise.

• Prolonged oxygen deprivation leading to muscle tissue damage

• The estimated deficit of oxygen at the beginning of an exercise session
