AREA ATHLETIC ® on Instagram: "Fast twitch muscle fibers are primarily influenced by genetics, meaning variations in DNA, particularly in genes like ACTN3, can determine the proportion of fast twitch fibers a person has, impacting their potential for explosive movements and athletic performance in activities requiring quick bursts of power; essentially, certain DNA variations can predispose individuals to having a higher percentage of fast twitch muscle fibers. Key points about fast twitch fiber

Sophie on Instagram: "The ACTN3 gene is closely linked to fast-twitch muscle fibers, which drive explosive power and speed. Athletes with this gene often excel in strength and power-based sports like weightlifting, powerlifting, and boxing. And as we all know, Armenians have a strong track record in those fields 🏔️🇦🇲 Unfortunately, we also excel in being painfully short lol #gym #powerlifting #armenian #bodybuilding #sciencebasedtraining #gymmotivation #gymjokes #gymhumor #olympicweightliftin
