Fast Twitch vs Slow Twitch

Fast Twitch muscle fibres have lots of nerves going to them, can generate lots of force and are able to get alot bigger. Explosive movements such as plyometric training, short bursts sprints all require fast twitch muscle fibres.

Slow Twitch muscle fibres have small amount of nerves going to them, they don’t increase in size that much, and aren’t very strong, however great for Endurance training, such as marathon runners, cyclists and any type of training that requires you to go the long distance.
