Sentences with phrase «main muscle fiber»

Strength training in untrained subjects increase all of the main muscle fiber type areas.
Strength training in untrained subjects can cause an increase in all of the main muscle fiber type areas (type I, type IIA and type IIX).
This is because increased endurance work begins to reduce the main muscle fibers that are associated with growth — type 2b — and start to increase the use of type 2a fibers — the ones with less potential for growth.

In skeletal muscle, fast - twitch glycolytic fibers use glycogen as the main energy source for anaerobic metabolism, serving to sustain brief periods of high - intensity activity.
The main benefit of using dumbbells is that it requires you to engage a greater number of muscles compared to the barbell and machine variant and actually activates the lower fibers of the chest press better than a barbell press — since your hands are free to move across your body when you use dumbbells, the lower pecs get a better workout.
The main reason for this is that high - intensity high - volume work targets the red and grey muscle fibers that normally don't get stimulated by weight training.
Your delts are made up of three bands of muscle fiber, comprising three main parts of the shoulder — anterior, posterior and medial.
In addition, the main advantages of the dumbbell pull - over over the straight - arm pull - down is that it offers a greater stretch at midpoint and can be used to recruit more muscle fibers.

Now there are two main types of muscle fibers; fast - twitch muscle fibers which are responsible for size and strength, and slow - twitch muscle fibers which are mostly responsible for endurance.
There are 3 main types: slow, intermediate and fast twitch muscle fibers.
The benefits of interval training (sprinting in short intense bursts)-- increases muscle fiber strength — increases aerobic capacity (work ability)-- increases muscle mitochondria (the main energy production center in muscle)-- increases insulin sensitivity — increases natural growth hormone production
Muscle architecture comprises three main aspects: normalized fiber length (NFL), pennation angle (PA), and physiological cross-sectional area (PCSA)(Lieber & Fridén, 2000; 2001; Ward et al. 2009), although muscle volume is sometimes considered as a fourth independent factor (Luu et al.
