Understanding Muscular Endurance for Slow Twitch Muscles
This podcast explains the importance of muscular endurance for slow twitch predominant muscles to sustain their job, as they tend to lose endurance over time. This leads to using fast twitch muscle fibers, which are less suitable for postural integrity.
Clips
The human body has two types of muscle fibers, slow twitch and fast twitch, and the distribution of these fibers varies among different muscles.

Summary
The human body has two types of muscle fibers, slow twitch and fast twitch, and the distribution of these fibers varies among different muscles. While postural muscles are generally composed of slow twitch fibers, each muscle in the body contains a combination of both fiber types.
