An activity that primarily utilizes type I muscle fibers is long distance running. Type I fibers are generally slow-twitch fibers‚ meaning they contract slowly and have a high capacity for aerobic glycolysis. Ectomorphs usually perform long distance running. In order to train slow twitch muscles (training slow twitch muscle fibers is for endurance purposes and other aerobic activities)‚ one must increase the time under tension (TUT). Specifically‚ one must focus on doing higher reps (12-15) and low
