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.
Slow, fatigue-resistant fibers
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. This junction allows for communication between the nervous system and the muscular system, facilitating muscle contraction in response to nerve impulses.
A motor unit consists of a motor neuron and all the muscle fibers it innervates. When the motor neuron fires, all the muscle fibers in the motor unit contract simultaneously. This coordinated activation allows for precise control of muscle force and movement.
the motor unit
This is called a motor unit.
You have three types of muscle fibers. 1) Skeletal muscle fibers. 2) Cardiac muscle fibers. 3) Smooth muscle fibers.

The key intracellular event that stimulates muscle contraction is the release of calcium ions from the sarcoplasmic reticulum within muscle cells. This calcium binds to troponin, causing a conformational change that allows myosin heads to bind to actin filaments and initiate the sliding process that shortens the muscle fibers and results in muscle contraction.
No. Cardiac muscle fibers.
