hypertrophy of fast glycolytic fibers would be characteristic of which of the following?
aging
endurance training
disease
resistance training
save & continue
Fast glycolytic fibers are associated with high - intensity, short - duration activities. Resistance training, which often involves lifting weights (a form of high - intensity, short - duration exercise), causes hypertrophy (increase in size) of these fibers. Aging is more likely to cause muscle atrophy. Endurance training (like long - distance running) mainly affects slow - twitch (oxidative) fibers. Disease may cause muscle wasting rather than hypertrophy of fast glycolytic fibers in most cases.
