Question
Chapter 12, Problem 11CP
Summary Introduction
To review:
The effect of endurance training and resistance training on the fiber characteristics of muscle.
Introduction:
Muscles are of three types: cardiac, smooth and skeletal muscles. Each type of muscle present in the human body has a unique structure and function. Muscles contain actin and filaments that slide past one another, which produces a contraction that may or may not change the muscle length.
