People who are described as Ectomorphs usually have lean muscle mass; they have small frames and do not gain weight easily‚ and therefore‚ have a slim appearance. Ectomorphs have long limbs‚ narrow hips and small shoulder width; their muscule strength is usually unable to afford heavy training‚ and therefore‚

Slow-Oxidative (Type I) Muscle Fibres Shelby Daye Skeletal muscles are classified as striated and voluntary. They are found in muscles that maintain low-intensity contractions for long periods without fatigue. A single skeletal muscle cell is referred to as a muscle fibre. There are three types of muscle fibres found in the human skeletal muscle system including slow-oxidative fibres‚ fast-oxidative fibres and fast-glycolytic fibres. These three fibres are each defined by their biochemical capacities1

muscle contraction Introduction For a skeletal muscle fiber to contract‚ a stimulus must be applied to it. The stimulus is delivered by a nerve cell‚ or neuron. A neuron has a threadlike process called and axon that my run 91 cm or more to a muscle. A bundle of such fibers from man different neurons composes a nerve. A neuron that stimulates muscle tissue is called a motor neuron. The motor neuron branches into terminal structures called telodendria that come into close approximation with
