This lecture covers different muscle fibre types in humans, including slow-twitch, fast-twitch, and oxidative/glycolytic fibres. It discusses muscle performance, force generation, modulation, acute and chronic adaptations, muscle fatigue, and resistance training. The instructor explains how muscle fibre type is determined, the impact of physical activity on muscle composition, and the neuromuscular pathway. Additionally, it explores muscle fatigue causes, metabolites, glycogen utilization, and the effects of acidosis on muscle contractile properties. The lecture also delves into muscle performance measurement, force generation mechanisms, and resistance training consequences such as hypertrophy, neural drive changes, and muscle fibre hyperplasia.
