Fast Oxidative Glycolytic Fibers in Skeletal Muscle Are Used

question 2

Multiple Choice

Fast oxidative glycolytic fibers in skeletal muscle are used

• B) constantly, for postural activities such as standing and sitting.
• C) intermittently, for activities requiring more force output than the fast glycolytic fibers alone can produce.
• D) intermittently, for activities requiring more force output than the slow oxidative fibers alone can produce.
