Muscular contraction and muscle types
This document discusses the types of muscle fibers and their characteristics. It describes three main types of muscle fibers: slow oxidative fibers, fast oxidative-glycolytic fibers, and fast glycolytic fibers. For each fiber type, it provides information on their myoglobin content, number of nuclei, filament organization, type of respiration, speed and duration of contraction, resistance to fatigue, twitch type, and general function.

- 16. Isokinetic Contraction Similar toisotonic in that the muscle changes length during the contraction Isokinetic contractions produce movements of a constant speed (Specialist equipment needed to measure this) Examples of using isokinetic contractions in day-to-day and sporting activities are rare. The best is breast stroke in swimming, where the water provides a constant, even resistance to the movement of adduction.
