A Potential Benefit of Recruiting Slow Oxidative Fibers for Contraction

question 38

Multiple Choice

A potential benefit of recruiting slow oxidative fibers for contraction before recruiting fast oxidative and fast glycolytic fibers might be __________.

• A) to allow for fine control with delicate contractile force with a small stimulus
• B) recruiting slow oxidative fibers early helps to tire them out first so that they won't interfere with the more powerful contractions of fast glycolytic fibers
• C) because they are slower to respond, slow oxidative fibers must be stimulated first in order to contract simultaneously with the faster fibers
• D) There is little to no benefit from recruiting slow oxidative fibers first, and therefore it is in fact fast glycolytic fibers that will be recruited first.
