a) There are three types of muscles- 1. Skeletal muscle 2. Smooth Muscle and 3. Cardiac muscle

Skeletal muscles are made up of three types of muscle fibres as follows

Red / Slow (Type I fibres, 'slow twitch fibres')
Red / Fast (Type IIa fibres, 'fast oxidative fibres')
White / Fast (Type IIb fibres, 'fast glycolytic fibres')

b) Red / Slow (Type I fibres, 'slow twitch fibres')- Mainly se suited to low-iuitable for low intensity, longer duration, aerobic work and resistant to fatigue. Red / Fast (Type IIa fibres, 'fast oxidative fibres') are classed as partially aerobic and are suited to events that require both aerobic and anaerobic elements. Athletes with a larger portion of type 2A fast-twitch fibres are suited to events such as middle-distance running and swimming. White / Fast (Type IIb fibres, 'fast glycolytic fibres') suited to high-intensity, short-duration, anaerobic work. Athletes who have a larger proportion of type 2B fast-twitch fi bres are suited to events that require explosiveness such as sprinting, throwing and weight-lifting.
