Procedure for Conducting Muscle Fibre Test Objective The muscle fibre test's objective is to determine the fibre composition of the muscles used for a particular exercise. Two test protocols are described: The Dr F. Hatfield muscle fibre test and the Charles Poliquin muscle fibre test (Hale 2006)[1].
Required Resources To undertake this test you will require:
Weight training facilities An assistant/spotter Selection of exercises How to conduct the Dr F. Hatfield muscle fibre test Determine your one-repetition maximum (1RM) on an exercise (available in this app) Rest for 15 minutes Perform as many repetitions as possible with 80% of your 1RM Analysis Less than 7 repetitions – fast-twitch (FT) dominant 7 or 8 repetitions – mixed fibre type more than 8 repetitions – slow-twitch (ST) dominant If you are FT dominant, you should use heavier loads and lower repetitions in your training. On the other hand, ST dominant individuals will respond better to lighter loads and higher repetitions.
How to conduct the Charles Poliquin muscle fibre test Determine your one-repetition maximum (1RM) on an exercise (available in this app) Rest for 15 minutes Perform as many repetitions as possible with 85% of your 1RM Analysis Less than 5 repetitions – fast-twitch (FT) dominant 5 repetitions – mixed fibre type more than 5 repetitions – slow-twitch (ST) dominant If you are FT dominant, you should use heavier loads and lower repetitions in your training. On the other hand, ST dominant individuals will respond better to lighter loads and higher repetitions.
