Match the muscle fibre types, labelled a. through c., with the characteristics. (Options may be used more than once or not at all.)
-produces the most lactic acid
A)slow-oxidative fibre
B)fast-oxidative fibre
C)fast-glycolytic fibre

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Fast-glycolytic fibres produce the most lactic acid because they primarily use anaerobic metabolism (glycolysis) to produce ATP, which results in the accumulation of lactic acid. Slow-oxidative fibres primarily use aerobic metabolism and produce very little lactic acid, while fast-oxidative fibres use a combination of aerobic and anaerobic metabolism and produce moderate amounts of lactic acid.
