Activities such as swimming and running are most likely to stimulate development of what type of muscle fibers?
Slow, fatigue-resistant fibers
What type of muscle fibers are there?
You have three types of muscle fibers. 1) Skeletal muscle fibers. 2) Cardiac muscle fibers. 3) Smooth muscle fibers.
What skeletal muscle fibers that are used for endurance activities have a large quantity of a-creatine-phosphate b-glycogen c-mitochondria d-anaerobic enzymes c-stored APT?
The creatine phosphokinase is the skeletal muscle fibers that are used for endurance activities.

Can you convert swimming laps into walking steps?
no, within your muscles are slow and quick twitch muscle fibers, activities such as running and walking use quick twitch muscle fibers while swimming uses slow twitch muscle fibers
Would you find more mitochondria in the muscle cell or the liver cell of an athlete?
Muscle cells because mitochondria is a cells energy source and in order for an athlete to play their sport or do their activities, they need a lot of energy.
What is the function of the muscle fibers?
muscle fibers contract the muscles when stimulated.
Smooth muscle fibers are the shortest of all muscle cell types?
No. Cardiac muscle fibers.
What type of muscle fibers used in strength training?
imcomplitory muscle fibers
Why are endurance athletes able to exercise longer than non-endurance athletes?
There are basically two types of muscle fibers in our bodies that we have voluntary control over. One is called "red" muscle, and the other is called "white". Red muscle fibers have the ability to perform work over longer periods of time without fatigue. White muscle fibers are able to work hard, but for a shorter period of time than red fibers. An endurance athlete will have exercised his or her red muscle fibers (through long exercise sessions), so that they grow stronger and bigger. This means that their body will have the ability to do work for much longer than a person who only exercises for shorter periods (and exercises their white muscle fibers).
What is muscle fibers?
Your cardiac muscle is your heart and this is a muscle and it holds itself together with its fibers. Hope that answers it for you :)
