How did Juan’s focus on skeletal muscle training overlook his needs for

cardiac muscle fitness?

Why is the coordination between cardiac output and skeletal muscle

performance so crucial?

Which muscle type is primarily responsible for peristalsis in the digestive

tract?

contractions?

• Smooth muscle

• Skeletal muscle

• Cardiac muscle

• Smooth and cardiac combined

Skeletal muscle fibers can be described as:
