@@sayanbiswas_sports What’s the best exercises to try to become back explosive I torn my Achilles 2 years ago and partial tore the right one this year?
As a sprint athlete who used to be forced to do a bunch of aerobic training, I LOVE this topic! It’s been one of my favorites to talk about to my peers for years! So happy to see yall made a video on it!
I been lifting weights (mostly heavy) for about 15 years, over a year ago I started with mma training, it’s amazing to see how the body adapts itself, mma is a mix of training, you need endurance, you need to be strong and fast so basically you train all the muscle fibers, energy systems and trying to find best balance that would suit the needs of that sport, body is an amazing machine. Love your content!
@@breadman5048 thats skeletal endurance im talking about pure muscular endurance like can you believe pro cyclists use over 5000 calories per ride and they intake that during the ride aswell? so their muscles have hugeeeeeeeeee aerobic efficiency
This was really cool, I did track in high school, I was not a good sprinter, and I did not have the endurance of the cross country kids. But I crushed people in the 800. Learning about this third Type IIA fiber explains a lot to me.
Excellent, I studied these concepts already but it was a sisyphean task to remember it, but the visualization and the practical relations just might do it! Thank you!
I had an honors class where we had to pick a topic and I chose to do mine over the different types of muscle fibers! Over 20 pages and over 30 sources later and it’s done! Love how interesting this stuff is!
I m a male type 2 predominant. I struggle to keep up with endurance training. For this matter, my FTP on the cycling power/watts calculation is just “good”. Even though I have been training for 3 years I hardly touched 3/watts kg. Now when it comes to repeating sprinting uphill or all out 2 minutes max power output, although very exhausting, I feel great about it and perform well, actually better than endurance alone.
just ride a lot of zone 2, and I mean a lot - ramp up to 5-8 hour rides, 20 hours+ per week. If you do that consistently for a season, you WILL see improvements, even if you don't do any more intensive rides.
Thanks for all your hard work. I'm not a medical pro, but I love your channel because it gives good info on fitness and health for regular folks like me. I also get useful tips from Dr. Aaron Horschig's Squat University channel. Much love and best wishes.
I have been a runner for many years now, running at least 6km’s a day, but with the onset of menopause I find that running is not helping anymore so I have started strength training . It will be interesting to see how my body adapts to these changes
You need transdermal bio identical hrt ( estradiol, progesterone and testosterone) when no medical contra indication as can be estradiol sensitive breastcancer. Dr. Louise Newson UK is giving awsome explanations. Check her out.
wonder how much the genetic fast/slow twitch fibre composition in the vocal chords(thyroarythenoid) affects singing ability? presumably those with more fast twitch have more powerful voices and thicker easier to adduct vocal chords than those with abundance of slow twitch?
Arnold Schwarzenegger had genetically small and weak calve muscles and early pictures show him up to his knees in water. However, after being ribbed by other bodybuilders he put in an all out effort into his calve training until they became his best body part. Great video.
I always knew tbis doing sport n things that use all muscle fiber types. Now I know the science behind it all.I know I do best sprinting.Becauae I was born a sprinter. I boxed,sprinted,and did long distance training. I definitely understand the differences.
I'm hoping he will address musicians; pianists in particular (because I am one). Also, there is a difference in the neurological development between string players and other musicians.
There very well may be, or possibly absolutely is, a difference in the neurological development of different musicians, since their instruments require different physical skills (I.e. wind versus piano, etc)
the marathoner , cuz more capillaries and slow fibers and more fat, hes tastier😂🎉😂🎉...game hunters like a 1 head bullet shot, cuz they say if you injure him so he lives a few more seconds the adrenalin spoils the meat, its not tastey meat
But what are the effects of those transitioning fibers on human body? How does that influence a human body in it's lifetime? What should be aimed for? Are fast twitch better?
13:40 What was that twin study referenced here? I'm wondering if the difference found was in volume of muscle fiber type or in the quantity of fibers, as you suggested. My understanding from reading up on current muscle tissue literature is that while you can certainly encourage the growth of one fiber type relative to another, no one has definitively shown muscle fibers to change types *in humans*. Just because we see it in other related organisms like mice is not a guarantee that it happens in humans.
Some folk built like this, some folk are built like that. But the way I am built, a- don’t you call me fat because I am built for comfort, I ain’t built for speed. But I got everything all the good girls need. 😂🎸✌️
At 14:02 you explained how type I fibres (oxydative) could convert to type IIx fibres (glycolictic) basednon the rype of workouts one engages in long term. But i came across an explanation that type IIx fibres cannot increase in number from what you're naturally born with. Correct my understanding. Appreciate the content.
It's a big reason I do both heavy lifts as we all higher rep days. Building both IIa and IIx help for long term functional strength. Yes, I'm a total nerd in the gym
What type of fibers am I building doing varying intensity, low-mid-low weight, long duration, full range of motion, varying speed, weighted shadowboxing and movement drills? I use 2 between 10-15-25-30-40lbs weights counting up and down and am obviously slower the higher the weight. The workout includes explosive footwork, squats, lunges, and every kind of arm workout. I go for well over an hour usually and sometimes for +4 hours with hot-cold-hot showers in between.
Interesting. Fast oxidative was the type for me. Initially I wanted fast glycolytic but it didn't suit me. And slow oxidative was never my style. For I while did strength training and sought fast oxidative muscle fibers.
Do these fast-twitch muscle cells release glygocen when the body is running low on glucose and vice versa? Would having more of these muscles then help regulate blood sugar levels? I.e. "do bodybuilders get hangry?"
I don't have any formal medical training but according to the science I'm aware of answer should be no. However when you start to lose weight the first thing you lose is muscles. (Muscle is more dense than fat)
Think about any sprint or explosive effort where you felt dizzy and wanted to vomit at the end. That’s part of you blowing through the glycogen so fast and before you can recruit other forms of energy.
@scottessery100 he says there is another video about motor unit requirement, and I could not find it by just searching. But I DON'T know what YOU are thinking about 😂🤷♂️🤔.
Does it really matter? The consistency is what really matters. It isn't like you can tell your body to produce more fast twitch muscle fibers or slow twitch muscle fibers or hybrid.
@ Bloxian Depending on your goals, strength vs hypertrophy, your training will vary. Generally, strength is best trained with low reps (1-5) but not to failure whereas hypertrophy uses higher reps (5-30) training much closer to failure. Ultimately you have to learn what works best for you. Some good sources are: Jeff Nippard Mike Israetel Jeff Cavaliere Ryan Humiston Dr Milo Wolf. Lots of tips but consistency and good nutrition would be near the top.
What fiber type does my judo where I have to do repeated high intensity, high load and high explosiveness actions for potentially back to back repeated 5 minute bouts?
When people say “lots of muscles is good for your health bc they burn carbs overnight”. Don’t they go into action “only” when doing intense / quick movements?
How about if I spend 80% of my training working at slow twitch and 20% medium to fast twitch, will the fibres I have be better adapted at both or is there a trade off? Will I lose some of my enduring fibres working on speed or will both simply get stronger?
@@theljbrotherhood3553 Good question. Crossfit has opened my eyes to the potential of the human body. Crossfit has shown the ability to be strong and have great endurance.
4:12 So this explains why a fish that does a lot of sustained fast swimming like a bluefin tuna will have dark red meat, and a fish that does a lot of sitting and waiting for a quick ambush like a halibut or bass will have white meat.
I believe fast twitch and slow twitch are both psychological factors affecting muscle twitch speed; all dictated by genetics and by how fast or slow someone in your environment moved. Mother or father and who you were more attached to
@ I understand there are physical differences between the two but where does the speed come from; it comes from the mind; people in you environment and their idea of fast or slow
Fast twitch fibers are more prone to atrophy for everyone by virtue of being larger and fatigueable (and, thus, also more prone to hypertrophy). Any population susceptible to atrophy and sarcopenia will see greater losses to fibers that have more to lose.
As we age, our fast-twitch muscle fibers-responsible for quick, explosive movements-shrink faster than slow-twitch fibers. This happens primarily because the nerves that signal these fast fibers tend to decline, so these muscles get less stimulation and weaken over time. Additionally, fast-twitch fibers aren’t used as much in everyday activities, which rely more on slow-twitch fibers for endurance. Without regular activation, fast-twitch fibers lose size and strength quickly. Finally, since fast-twitch fibers have less blood supply and endurance than slow-twitch fibers, they’re less resilient to aging and atrophy faster. By Ai
I also read that it’s also partially due to the way human physiology evolved in a world of scarce resources. Fast twitch fibers are the most energy and resource intensive. The body will attempt to maintain the bare minimum. That’s why it’s “use it or lose it.” You’re fitting 100,000’s years of evolution.
Great video but you are 100% wrong that you can convert type 1 muscle fibers into fast twitch muscle fibers. Not even close. It will never happen!!!! I am going to make a video debunking what you just said. It's simply absurd. They could go back and forth in their own subtype, but there is no turning a slow fiber into a type 2X. Come on, man!!!!! In other words, you are claiming you can convert low-threshold motor units into high-threshold motor units. Simply absurd!!!! It's not happening! The only fibers that can do this are hybrid I/IIa/IIx fibers. And people are born with these. These specific fibers work back and forth in their own subtype. You are not converting a pure slow twitch fiber that does not contain myosin heavy chain isoform composition of a type 2X fiber into a pure fast twitch type 2 X fiber.
@suran396 I could run when I was little for hours but only at a light jog . My boys have the lung capacity I don't have . My girl doesn't run for health reasons .

I like that guy on you saying it's going to be a twitchy.
How do the different fiber types respond to a training stimulus?
Type IIx and IIa muscle fibers can be converted to type I, but the reverse is not possible.
are you saying that once you have conditioned yourself to endurance you can't go back to strength?
So a sprinter can become a world class. Marathon runner but the reverse is not possible?
Interesting. Fast oxidative was the type for me. Initially I wanted fast glycolytic but it didn't suit me. And slow oxidative was never my style.
For I while did strength training and sought fast oxidative muscle fibers.
So, for being healthy we, ideally, need to do all types of training to include all of the muscle types?
Whatever training you choose will convert your fibers. The healthy minimum is 150mins cardio exercise and 2 days of weight training
As long as you're physically active with proper nutrition, you'll be healthy. You only need to workout these muscle types based on your goals.
which fibre type burns the most fat if there is a difference in fat burning
How is this different for those of us with α-Actinin-3 deficiency?
Heh. Mddle distance runners rule!❤❤❤
Is there a way to test muscle type composition while still alive?
yeah, just test your results in sports
Do these fast-twitch muscle cells release glygocen when the body is running low on glucose and vice versa? Would having more of these muscles then help regulate blood sugar levels? I.e. "do bodybuilders get hangry?"
I don't have any formal medical training but according to the science I'm aware of answer should be no.
However when you start to lose weight the first thing you lose is muscles.
(Muscle is more dense than fat)
so the fastest way to deplete glycogen storage is to perform explosive movements to activate the fast-twitch fibres
Think about any sprint or explosive effort where you felt dizzy and wanted to vomit at the end. That’s part of you blowing through the glycogen so fast and before you can recruit other forms of energy.
Does the eye's muscles have more Type II fibers than type I?
How about when you do many reps with low weight? like above 30 or 50 reps in a row, do you still use slow fibers or the fast ones also activate?
Can someone provide link or name of the video of the motor unit recruitment？
Can't find it
Thank you
Can you train fast twitch fibers while training slow ones ? I’m a fighter I have been thinking into adding some type of weight training

Why?
@@scottessery100because type I muscle fibres are slow twitch muscle fibres and type IIa muscle fibres are fast twitch muscle fibres

Why do fast twitch seem to atrophy faster than slow twitch as we age later in life?

*fighting*
According to my DNA test, I am 50/50. Both equally fast and slow twitch. I have a very hard time building large muscles.
Does it mean If I train both long distance running and strength training I am missing out, than if I just trained one sport?
You will gain more benefit doing both than you would lose.
The opposite, actually.
