The force velocity curve describes the relationship between speed of muscle shortening (i.e., velocity of movement) and muscle force production. Which of the following statements are true about the influence of muscle fiber type on the force velocity curve?

A. At any given velocity of movement, the peak power generated is lower in a muscle that contains a high percentage of fast fibers (i.e., type IIx) compared with a muscle that contains a high percentage of slow fibers (i.e., type I). B. At low movement speeds, the peak power generated is greater in a muscle that contains a high percentage of slow fibers (i.e., type I) compared with a muscle that contains a high percentage of fast fibers (i.e., type IIx). C. At any given velocity of movement, the peak power generated is greater in a muscle that contains a high percentage of fast fibers (i.e., type IIx) compared with a muscle that contains a high percentage of slow fibers (i.e., type I). D. None of these answers is correct.
