which of the following muscle fiber types will contribute the largest proportaion of force to a maximal voluntary contraction
is it fast oxidative or fast glycolytic? i think it is fast oxidative can someone help me on this one...
As a sarcomere is streched to 150% of its resting length we see that the force it can generate is dramatically reduced. this is because as the sarcomere reaches this length, the actin and myosin filaments....
are....completely overlapped, have reached the length of max contraction, are optimally aligned or none of these are correct....
as far as my info goes....the actin and myosin filaments are completely overlapped
is this right?????

I don't know much about your information but as far as I know If you fast for a day or two it will be oxidative but longer fasts will be glycolytic,

As to the second part of the question, when a sarcomere is stretched, the amount of force it can produce is reduced because there is LESS overlap of the actin and myosin. Therefore, the answer would be none of the abolve.

I'm pretty sure Fast Glycolitic will contribute the largest proportion of force. Fast Oxidative is FOG which is a mix of Slow Oxidative and Fast Glycolitic, the latter producing the least amount of force. I'm 95% sure it's Fast Glycolitic.
