Introduction Metallic yarns or threads‚ in general‚ have been known for more than 3000 years. Gold and silver were hammered into extremely thin sheets‚ then cut into ribbons and worked into fabrics. These were the first ‘man made’ fibres‚ which came thousands of years before nylon or rayon. The Persians made fabulous carpets with gold thread and the Indians‚ ornamental sarees with it. The metal threads were twisted‚ doubled or wrapped around some other thread such as cotton. With the advancement

Slow-twitch fibres contract slowly and can be used for longer periods of time. Fast-twitch fibres contract quickly and provide strength and speed‚ though they also tire more quickly. To a large extent this fibre combination is hereditary‚ so if you want to become the next gold medal winner at the Olympics it is dependant

changes came to the textile industry during the 20th century‚ with continuing technological innovations in machinery‚ synthetic fibre‚ logistics‚ and globalization of the business. The business model that had dominated the industry for centuries was to change radically. Cotton and wool producers were not the only source for fibres‚ as chemical companies created new synthetic fibres that had superior qualities for many uses‚ such as rayon‚ invented in 1910‚ and DuPont’s nylon‚ invented in 1935 as in inexpensive

Cardiac This is an involuntary muscle‚ found solely in the walls of the heart‚ as well as in the walls of the blood vessels. This sort of muscle has similarities with the skeletal muscles‚ because it is striated. Furthermore‚ it has slight similarities to the smooth muscles‚ because its contractions are not under conscious control. On the other hand this type of muscle is highly specialised. It is under the control of the autonomic nervous system‚ however‚ even without nervous imput contractions

are equally contributing factors to a great athlete‚ nature can provide you with muscle fibres to improve ability at a certain sport for example high twitch fibres are better for sprinters like usain bolt where as low twitch are better for long distance runners like Mo Farah.
