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.
Some physiological factors such as the
ratio of fast -
twitch to slow -
twitch fibers in your muscles are genetically determined, but others, such as the speed of nerve impulses, which can be improved by both plyometric exercises and weight training, are only resistant to exercise - induced change.
