Did You Know!
Human muscles are made up of different types of fibers, primarily Type I (slow-twitch) and Type II (fast-twitch). Type I fibers are more endurance-oriented and are used for activities requiring sustained effort, like long-distance running. Type II fibers are geared towards explosive movements and quick bursts of energy, like sprinting or lifting heavy weights. The balance of these fibers can influence an individual’s athletic performance and is partly determined by genetics.
