A Potential Benefit of Recruiting Slow Oxidative Fibers for Contraction

question 31

Multiple Choice

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

• A) 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
• B) because they are slower to respond, slow oxidative fibers must be stimulated first in order to contract simultaneously with the faster fibers
• C) this will help to allow for fine control with delicate contractile force with a small stimulus
• 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
