1

What causes fatigue in muscle cells during intense exercise?

1

Why do slow-twitch fibers work well in long-distance running?

1

What process breaks down lactic acid in muscles during resting?

1

Muscles rely on lactic-acid fermentation for energy during intense exercise.

1

Slow-twitch fibers contract faster than fast-twitch fibers.

1
