Lastly, fast glycolytic fibers provided the largest force and fastest twitch speed but are highly fatigue - able and are reserved for high - intensity bursts such as a short sprint or maximal lifts.

As for your muscle physiology, the relative proportion of fast twitch and slow twitch fibers in your muscles is also genetically predetermined, and slow twitch muscle fibers are able to consume more oxygen than fast twitch muscle fibers.

For example, physiologists measured the time to exhaustion in a group of fast twitch fibers and found some of the fast twitch fibers fatigued in as little as 16 seconds while other fast twitch fibers were able to contract for 34 minutes before reaching fatigue.

We all know when you lift a weight the body uses the slow twitch fiber first then as things get heavier the fast twitch fibers kick in.

Although many people assume that they are fast twitch muscles, the hamstrings are around 44 — 54 % type I muscle fibers (Dahmane et al. 2005; 2006; Evangelidis et al. 2016), 50 % type I muscle fibers, (Pierrynowski & Morrison, 1985), 55 % type I muscle fibers (Garrett et al. 1984), and even as high as 67 % type I muscle fibers (Johnson et al. 1973).

I do believe that one runs a risk of overtaining as more training of the fast twitch fibers takes place.

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).

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.
