In general, there are two types of muscle fibers: Type I, which are slow twitch, and Type II, which are fast twitch.

One big issue for dieters are carbohydrates, which can be divided into slow - digesting and fast - digesting ones: the first group which includes foods such as yams, wild rice, beans, whole grains, red potatoes and certain types of fruits are loaded with fiber and nutrients and produce slow and gradual increases in blood glucose and modest insulin release, keeping us full and satisfied for longer periods of time.

There's been a lot of debate whether increasing the time under tensions triggers greater muscle gains, but the majority of studies support this claim under various discoveries: • The cross-section area of the slow - twitch type muscle fibers is greatly increased, which leads to maximal stimulation of these type I fibers since they possess a high level of fatigue threshold, which also promotes an increased hypertrophic response.

This type of training doesn't require a lot of strength, but it does require endurance and mainly uses the slow - twitch fibers, but neglects the fast - twitch type.

Second, add «fermentable fibers» to your diet, which are also called prebiotics (sweet potato, yam, yucca, etc.) and eat a lot of fermented foods like kefir, sauerkraut, and certain types of yogurt (but most yogurts found in your grocery store are simply milk with sugar and are NOT healthy) You can also supplement with probiotics, but make sure to start slow and build up.

The red, type I aerobic fibers contract relatively slowly, and these would be called slow twitch.

Combined, both types of fiber contribute to slow down digestion and absorption of carbohydrates, preventing drastic rises in blood sugar.

There are three different muscle fiber types: slow oxidative, fast oxidative / glycoltic and fast glycolytic.

In other words, a slow jog or extended elliptical workout will not heavily recruit type II fibers, overstress tendons and ligaments, and otherwise hinder the body's attempts to recover and adapt to heavy lifting.

For example, sprinters usually have predominately Type IIB fast glycolytic muscle fibers, while distance runners have a larger proportion of slow - twitch, high oxidative muscle fibers.

What this means is that in any specific fiber type you will find fibers that contract much slower or faster than other fibers of the same type; fibers that contract much more or much less forcefully than other fibers of the same type; fibers that possess much more or much less endurance than other fibers of the same type.

But first lets clarify, «all muscle fibers» do you mean all types of fibers - fast twitch, slow twitch.

This leads to describing the muscle fibers as either aerobic / oxidative or anaerobic / glycolytic and ultimately three different fiber types: fast - twitch glycolytic, fast - twitch oxidative, and slow - twitch oxidative (Scott et al. 2001).

What it also does is it actually helps to increase absorption of nutrients and food so when you're eating food and eating nutrients what it actually does is it actually slows the absorption of the nutrients and of the food and of the value that you need in your food and by doing these two things by speeding up the removal and slowing down the absorption with the different types of fiber it keeps your body running smoothly and healthy because it makes sure that your body get's the nutrition that you need as opposed to having that nutrition become stagnant and not to be absorbed readily and readily available.

You get a conversion of your fast explosive — what are called type two muscle fibers into type one muscle fibers, which are slow twitch muscle fibers that take a much longer time to fatigue.

We will consider two primary types — slow twitch fibers (known as MyHC I) and fast twitch fibers (known as MyHC II... these are further divided into IIA and IIX if you are interested in researching this).

It has been assumed that muscles with shorter twitch contraction time show predominance in fast twitch or type II muscle fibers and exhibit greater force than those muscles with longer twitch contraction times such as slow twitch or type I fibers.

However, this muscle fiber type composition ratio can vary widely in either direction; some people naturally have quadriceps consisting almost entirely of slow - twitch muscle fibers, while others have mostly fast - twitch fibers.

* Slow, high - rep sets that target both fiber types are proven to increase time under tension, the total amount of time the muscle is working during a given set.

According to Bennett - Ramseur, yogis regularly activate «slow twitch muscle fibers which improve our endurance but can not generate significant force, while quick explosive movements found in weight training activate more type 2 muscle fibers, which improve our explosiveness, strength, and power, but can not sustain activity for long periods of time.»

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.

Choosing a well - balanced diet tailored to your specific body type helps, with extra emphasis on food rich in fiber, which helps slow down the absorption of sugar, and food rich in high quality omega - 3 fats, which are also crucial to lessening the impact of eating excessive sugar.

Sure, you can see some initial results, often masked as «toning», but in the end you're turning your Type IIa muscle fibers (oxidative - glycolytic, or medium speed fibers) to Type I (oxidative, or slow muscle fibers that have great endurance).

Resistance exercise (RE), for instance, elicits a significant decrease in AR content in type - I slow oxidative, and a significant increase in type - IIb fast glycolytic fibers.4

Please note - there are multiple kinds of muscle fibers, including type I (typically called slow twitch), type IIa, IIb, IIx (fast twitch), and various proposed permutations of these.

Muscles with a high proportion of type I fibers may benefit more from higher repetitions (lighter loads) or slower bar speeds, while muscles with a high proportion of type II fibers may benefit more from lower repetitions (heavier loads) or faster bar speeds.

To go even further, our fast twitch fibers can be classified as either Type IIX or Type IIB.11 Fast twitch fibers show a greater capacity for hypertrophy than slow twitch fibers, therefore it may be wise to incorporate faster repetition training to maximize this capacity.4 Maximal speed is regarded as a short lasting adaptation, therefore if we wish to keep our bar speed up, we must train with fast bar speed frequently.8 This will have a nice carry over effect to the amount of weight we are able to lift, the amount of work we are able to perform in a condensed amount of time, and ultimately will increase the efficiency of our training.

Slow - twitch (Type I) fibers are necessary for most low - intensity movements as well as posture.
