Solution

A. Fast-twitch fibers (Type II): These fibers respond rapidly to nervous system stimulation and fatigue quickly. They also have a high glycogen concentration, which provides quick bursts of energy, making these fibers ideal for short, intense activities like weightlifting or sprinting.

B. Slow-twitch fibers (Type I): These fibers contain large amounts of myoglobin, which gives them a high aerobic capacity and allows them to break down ATP relatively slowly. This makes them ideal for long-duration, low-intensity activities like distance running.
