Slow-twitch muscle fibers contract slowly, are rich in mitochondria and myoglobin for aerobic respiration, and are suited for endurance.
Slow-twitch muscle fibers contract slowly with less power, are adapted for aerobic respiration with many mitochondria and myoglobin, and are suited for endurance activities.
| Front | Slow twitch muscle fibres |
|---|---|
| Back | contract slowly less powerful contractions adapted for aerobic respiration to prevent build up of lactic acid good for ensurance activities energy released slowly via aerobic respiration lots of mitochondria and blood vessels supplying the muscles with oxygen Rich in myoglobin |
