If given the exact same amount of ATP, which of the three fiber types would be able to contract for the longest amount of time?
A) slow oxidative fibers
B) both fast glycolytic and fast oxidative fibers
C) fast oxidative fibers
D) fast glycolytic fibers

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Slow oxidative fibers rely primarily on aerobic respiration to generate ATP, which is more efficient than the anaerobic pathways used by fast oxidative and fast glycolytic fibers. As a result, slow oxidative fibers are able to contract for longer periods of time with the same amount of ATP.
