Which characteristic is exhibited by Type I muscle fibers?
A
High endurance and fatigue resistance
B
Fast contraction speed
C
Primarily anaerobic metabolism
D
Low mitochondrial density
Verified step by step guidance1
Understand the characteristics of Type I muscle fibers, which are also known as slow-twitch fibers.
Recognize that Type I muscle fibers are adapted for endurance activities and are resistant to fatigue.
Identify that Type I muscle fibers have a high mitochondrial density, which supports aerobic metabolism.
Note that Type I muscle fibers have a slower contraction speed compared to Type II muscle fibers.
Conclude that Type I muscle fibers primarily rely on aerobic metabolism, not anaerobic, due to their high mitochondrial density.
