Both type I and type II fibers are stimulated by swimming, however a study of an 8 week swimming program showed a larger increase in type II muscle growth. That being said however, the proportions of each muscle type remains roughly fixed regardless of the training regime.

Activities such as swimming and running are most likely to stimulate development of what type of muscle fibers?
Slow, fatigue-resistant fibers
Define motor unit?
a motor neuron together with the muscle fibers (cell) it stimulates.
What consists of a somatic motor neuron plus all the skeletal muscle fibers it stimulates?
motor unit
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
The point of contact between the nerve and the muscle fibers it stimulates is called a?
neuromuscular junction
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 motor neuron and all the muscle fibers it innervates called?
