NFPT Ch.2 Part 2
The Cell Fiber
Question | Answer |
---|---|
Mitochondria | Stores and creates cellular energy. (ATP) |
Myofibrils | The contractile components made up of Actin and Myosin. |
Mitochondrial Failure | Contractile failure occurs as a result of depleted energy stores and a large build up lactic acid. Training in the 20-25 rep range in theory will help build increased storage for energy and new mitochondira. (Red Slow Twitch motor units) |
Intermediate Failure | Contractile failure occurring at, or about the same time the short term energy stores are depleted. Training in the 12-15 rep range, in theory will help build new mitochondria and Myofibrils. (Red Fast twitch motor units) |
Myofibril Failure | resistance is so great, the contractile components fail. Immediate energy stores rapidly deplete. Training in the 4-6 rep range affects the Myofibrils the most. (White Twitch motor units.) |
