If that promotes the development of fast-twitch muscle fibres in growing foetuses, that could add to the Jamaican edge. The truth is, we donât have enough information to draw firm conclusions about the Jamaican dominance of sprinting. But there is good reason to dig deeper â and it has nothing to do with athletics. We now have evidence that extreme stress, heat, cold, malnutrition and pollution (including tobacco smoke) trigger changes in the way genes are activated or silenced.
Type IIx are best known as fast-twitch muscle fibers. These are the muscle fibers primarily responsible for fast, explosive movements like sprinting. However, they lack the endurance-boosting ability of slow-twitch fibers and can only be used for short periods of time. Type IIa are what we call intermediate fibers. These are a blend between fast- and slow-twitch fibers.
