Type I skeletal muscle fibers, also known as slow-twitch fibers, are generally recruited first because they fatigue more slowly and are more efficient at producing energy through aerobic metabolism. Type II, also known as fast-twitch fibers, are recruited when more force is needed or when a quick burst of power is required, but they fatigue more quickly.
