Last week, I defended my Phd on 'The relevance of muscle fiber typology in sports'🎓.

Next to the PhD, I also made a practical & illustrated guide for the general public & sport coaches!

Following thread summarizes the most important findings.👇👇

#ThesisThread What is the muscle fiber typology?

Two different types of muscle fibers are responsible for production of movements:

👉slow-twitch 🔴 & fast-twitch fibers ⭕️

Both types are present in all muscles, but their proportion differs between individuals & determines the 'myotype'.
