肌肉生而不等

短跑“外星人”博爾特

Don:It’s not fair!

Yaël: What’s not fair?

D: I was rereading the Constitution of the United States. It says here that “All people are created equal.”That’s just not true!

Y:What do you mean?

D: Well, it’s always being my dream to become the Olympic champion in the 100-meter-dash. But no matter how hard I train, I’m just not fast enough.

Y:You just realize this now.

D:Some guys are simply faster than everyone else.

Y:That’s because some people are born with more faster twitch muscle fiber than others.

D:With what?

Y:That’s a big part of what make people faster than others. Muscles are made of two kinds of fibers–fast twitch and slow twitch.

D:What’s the difference?

Y:Slow-twitch fibers use energy aerobically and can work for long periods of time before getting tired.

D:So they can contract more slowly, but can keep going without burning themselves out.

Y:Right! Slow twitch fibers have a lot of myoglobin, a protein that helps transfer oxygen into the mitochondria, the power houses of the cell that produce cellular energy.

D:So Marathon runners must have a lot of slow twitch muscle fibers.

Y:Exactly, since they have to keep going for long periods.

D:So sprinters have a lot of fast twitch muscle fiber.

Y:Right! Fast twitch fibers consume energy quickly and are good for short, powerful bursts of movement like sprinting and jumping. World-class sprinters typically have about 80% fast twitch muscle fiber.

D:Luck dogs!

Y:And, of course, they train incredibly hard to develop their natural gifts. Olympic gold is not won by muscle fiber alone.

D:But it certainly helps!

Don:真不公平!

Yaël:什么不公平?

D:我又讀了一遍《美國(guó)憲法》,上面寫著:“人人生而平等。”事實(shí)并非如此!

Y:你想說什么?

D:成為奧運(yùn)會(huì)的百米短跑冠軍一直是我的夢(mèng)想??墒?,無論我多么努力,我就是跑不了那么快。

Y:你才意識(shí)到啊!

D:有些人就是比別人都跑得快。

Y:那是因?yàn)樗麄兲焐人硕嗫焓湛s肌纖維。

D:有更多什么?

Y:快收縮肌纖維大大地決定了跑步速度。肌肉有兩種纖維構(gòu)成:快收縮肌肉纖維和慢收縮肌肉纖維。

D:有什么不同嗎?

Y:慢收縮肌肉纖維用于有氧耗能,適合耐力性運(yùn)動(dòng)。

D: 所以慢收縮肌肉纖維收縮更慢,但是持續(xù)時(shí)間更長(zhǎng)。

Y:說的對(duì),因?yàn)轳R拉松耗能耗時(shí)長(zhǎng)。

D:那么,短跑健將有很多快收縮肌肉纖維了。

Y:沒錯(cuò)!慢收縮肌肉纖維富含肌紅蛋白。肌紅蛋白可幫助肌細(xì)胞將氧轉(zhuǎn)運(yùn)到線粒體,而線粒體是細(xì)胞能源工廠。

D:那么,馬拉松選手肯定有很多慢收縮肌肉纖維了。

Y:對(duì),快收縮肌肉纖維耗能快,特別適合短而有力的爆發(fā)性動(dòng)作,比如短跑和跳躍,世界級(jí)短跑健將體內(nèi)80%肌肉都是快收縮肌肉纖維。

D:真是幸福!

Y:當(dāng)然,他們不僅僅靠天賦,還有艱苦地訓(xùn)練來完善技能。獲得奧運(yùn)金牌可并非肌肉纖維就可以。

D:但是不得不承認(rèn)肌肉纖維起了作用。

Constitution of the United States:《美國(guó)憲法》

dash:短跑
