FTA fibers are..........................

  • A.Oxidative
  • B.Glycolytic
  • C.Oxidative-Glycolytic
  • D.Unclassified

Answer: C

FTa fibres are oxidative-glycolytic.

Skeletal muscle fibres are classified as slow-twitch (type I), which are oxidative, and fast-twitch (type II). The fast-twitch type IIa (FTa) fibres are fast oxidative-glycolytic: they contract quickly and can produce energy both aerobically and anaerobically, so they are fairly resistant to fatigue.

The fast-twitch type IIx (or IIb) fibres, FTb, are the purely glycolytic ones, powerful but quick to tire. Purely oxidative describes slow-twitch fibres, and FTa fibres are a well-defined type, so 'unclassified' does not fit them.
