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

of three different muscle types cardiac‚ smooth‚ and skeletal muscle. For this particular experiment the primary focus was skeletal muscle‚ which accounts for about 36% to 45% of total body weight and involves the integration of more than 600 different muscles (WordPress‚ 2006). Skeletal muscle contains many unique properties such as; elasticity and extensibility which allows a muscle to be stretched and return to its original state when not in use. Additionally skeletal muscles also contain a property

There have been reported quite a lot of cases in which muscle building programs have led to serious side effects‚ causing people who followed these programs to end up in the hospital with severe health problems.

Muscle contractions are due to the sliding-filament model where the filaments slide longitudinally past each other producing an overlap between thin and thick filaments. The sliding filaments rely on the reaction between actin and myosin. Calcium ions bind to the troponin complex on the actin filaments and cause the tropomyosin to change the orientation of the actin filament to expose the myosin head binding sites on the actin filament. Glycolysis and aerobic respiration generate adenosine triphosphate
