Document Summary

Difference between bres: the key difference between the bres is the size of them. The slow twitch that last for a long time are the smallest bres, and the fast twitch that produce lots of power for a short time are large in diameter. You can"t change a type 1 bre to a type 2 bre. You can however go from a type 2a to a type. You can also change the size of the muscle bre by doing certain types of training. The latency period is the time where you send a signal to a muscle and the action potential takes time to reach the muscle. This is the time where the muscle doesn"t actually move yet. It takes around 5 milliseconds after the action potential for the rst increase in force. This time is spent on calcium release and calcium binding to troponin and the rolling back of tropomyosin.
