    Discuss the relationship between distribution of muscle fibre type and performance. How might exercise training modify or change a person’s fibre-type distribution? There are four different types of muscle fibres: type 1‚ type 2a‚ type 2x‚ and type 2c. “A single skeletal muscle contains fibres having different speeds of shortening and ability to generate maximal force: type 1 (slow-twitch) fibres and type 2 (fast-twitch) fibres. Type 1 fies take approximately 110 ms to reach peak tension when

    the breakdown of damaged muscle tissues resulting in the release of muscle fiber contents into the bloodstream (Patel M.D.). This disease occurs when there is damage to the skeletal muscle. The breakdown products of damaged muscle cells‚ such as myoglobin‚ are harmful to the kidneys and frequently result in kidney damage or even kidney failure. The severity of the symptoms depends on the degree of muscle damage and the degree of the kidney damage‚ if any. The primary muscle damage can be caused by

    arrives the muscle fiber‚ AChR clusters are formed in the middle section of a muscle fiber. When the growing nerve cone attaches the muscle fiber‚ Agrin activates Lrp4‚ which then binds to the receptor tyrosine kinase MuSK‚ through this binding MuSK is phosphorylated and starts to form the neural and aneural AChR clustering (Burden 2011). Morphologic differences in the pre- and/or postsynaptic part of the NMJ can be a hint of a certain disease. In the following figure‚ the structure differences between

    1. Discuss the relationship between distribution of muscle fiber type and performance. How might exercise training modify or change a person’s fiber-type distribution? Skeletal muscles contain multiple fiber types that are distinguished by their different myosin ATPase speed‚ and the development of their SR. The two main fiber types are type I and type II fibers. Type II fibers have a faster ATPase and a more developed SR than type I fibers. Type II fibers are also part of a larger motor unit‚
