Explain the two main methods of determining muscle fiber type
Fibers can be typed based on their difference in time to develop peak tension. Slower developing fibers are called slow-twitch fibers, while faster developing fibers are called fast-twitch fibers. However, this technique does not account for differences within fiber type, particularly fast-twitch fibers. Histochemistry techniques compare fibers after being stained with various proteins or immunocytochemistry typing based on certain chemical reactions within the fibers, and have been able to determine a greater number of fiber types (e.g., types I, IIa, IIb, and IIx).
