Expert Solution
Step 1

There are two types of skeletal muscle fibers. They are type I and type II muscle fibers. Type I muscle fibers are slow-twitch muscle fibers, whereas type II muscle fibers are fast-twitch fibers. Type I muscle fibers are effective for extended periods and are used in maintaining posture and doing endurance exercise. Type II fibers are useful for instant speed and use anaerobic metabolism for energy and they sustain for a longer time.
