Please help i'll give BRAINLLEST! Match the answer with the definition

1. type 2 (fast twitch) muscle fibers - type A
2. muscular strength
3. type 1 (slow twitch) muscle fibers
4. muscle endurance
5. type 2 (fast twitch) muscle fibers - type B

a. muscle fibers responsible for endurance
b. muscle fibers that help with a long sprint or carry a heavy object a short distance
c. refers to the ability to perform a specific muscular action for a prolonged amount of time
d. the muscle's capacity to exert force against resistance
e. muscle fibers used in short explosive movements such as jumping or lifting a very heavy weight one or two times.

Answer:

The answers are:

  1. Type 2 (fast twitch) muscle fibers - type A: b. muscle fibers that help with a long sprint or carry a heavy object a short distance
  2. muscular strength: d. the muscle's capacity to exert force against resistance
  3. Type 1 (slow twitch) muscle fibers: a. muscle fibers responsible for endurance
  4. Muscle endurance: c. refers to the ability to perform a specific muscular action for a prolonged amount of time.
  5. Type 2 (fast twitch) muscle fibers - type B: e. muscle fibers used in short explosive movements such as jumping or lifting a very heavy weight one or two times.

Step-by-step explanation:

Types of Skeletal Muscles:

Skeletal muscle are divided into two types:

  1. Slow Twitch (Type 1)
  2. Fast Twitch (Type 2)
  • Slow twitch muscles are the first ones to contract at times of exercise of strenuous physical activity. A compared to fast twitch muscle fibers, they contract slowly but can sustain contraction for a long time.
  • Fast twitch muscle fibers are divided into two subtypes: Type 2A and Type 2B.
  • Type 2A muscle fibers produce a high amount of force but they fatigue rapidly.
  • Type 2B muscle fibers, fire last, produce the most amount of force but wear out very rapidly.

Muscle Characteristics:

  • Muscle endurance is the muscle's ability to contract with force against a resistance for a prolonged time period.
  • Muscle strength is a measure of the amount of force a muscle can produce against resistance.
