Transcribed Image Text:A potential benefit of recruiting slow oxidative fibers for contraction before
recruiting fast oxidative and fast glycolytic fibers might be
recruiting slow oxidative fibers early helps to tire them out first so that they
won't interfere with the more powerful contractions of fast glycolytic fibers
to allow for fine control with delicate contractile force
because slow oxidative fibers undergo wave summation to a greater extent than
fast fibers
because they are slower to respond, slow oxidative fibers must be stimulated
first in order to contract simultaneously with the faster fibers
There is little to no benefit from recruiting slow oxidative fibers first, and
therefore it is in fact fast glycolytic fibers that will be recruited first.
