Which type of muscle would fatigue faster? One with too many or too few blood vessels?

Answer 1

Fast (white) muscle fibers are for powerful anerobic use, such as weight lifting. They fatigue quickly though. Think of a football player for this type of muscle.

Slow (red) muscle fibers contain myoglobin, which acts as an oxygen reservoir for endurance, but generate weaker contractions. Think of a marathon runner for this type of muscle.

So the answer to your question is one with too few blood vessels, which is characteristic of anaerobic fast fibers.

Answer 2

It depends on the type of muscle that is being used and the condition of that body part, but the muscle with less blood vessel would fatigue faster because the lack of oxygen.

Answer 3

Muscles fatigue because of lack of oxygen. Since blood carries oxygen, the muscle with fewer blood vessels would fatigue faster.

Answer 4

Any muscle which comparitively has fewer blood vessels will fatigue faster.more blood vessel supply more blood which carries more oxygen to the muscle therefore they are not fatigued faster.

Answer 5

Too few, as it cannot get the glucose in enough & the lactic acid out fast enough. Folks also have a balance between fast & slow "twtich" muscles fibers, the former is better for sprinting, & the latter for long distance staminar. Sprinters are muscular & very strong, marathon runners slight, but tough. The longest sprint is 400m which is around 45sec.

Answer 6

I don't think you could have too many blood vessels.

Too few would tire first.
