lowtwitch
Lowtwitch refers to a type of muscle fiber in vertebrates that is also known as slow-twitch or Type I muscle fibers. These fibers are characterized by their ability to sustain prolonged muscle contractions with relatively low intensity. They are rich in mitochondria and myoglobin, which allows for efficient aerobic metabolism and a higher capacity for fatigue resistance. This makes lowtwitch fibers ideal for endurance activities such as long-distance running, cycling, and swimming, where sustained effort is required.
Compared to fast-twitch muscle fibers, lowtwitch fibers contract more slowly and generate less force. However, their
The proportion of lowtwitch fibers in a person's musculature can vary depending on genetics and training. Individuals
