Description
Relevance for Women
- Type I: slow-twitch, endurance
- Type II: fast-twitch, strength & power
Women often have higher Type I proportions, giving natural endurance advantages.
In Practice
Training both types creates balanced strength and stamina.
Notes
Ageing reduces Type II fibres unless maintained with strength training.
