Nephritis is the most common cause of blood in the urine of children and young adults but it can occur at any age. If your GP suspects nephritis he will usually refer you to a nephrologist (kidney doctor).
Muscle fiber types can be broken down into two main types: slow twitch (Type I) muscle fibers and fast twitch (Type II) muscle fibers. These fast twitch fibers can be further categorized into Type IIa and Type IIb fibers, which are also known as fast twitch oxidative and fast twitch glycolytic, respectively.
The first type of fiber we will look at is the type I, or slow twitch fibers. These fibers are slow to contract (hence, slow twitch), and can sustain muscular contractions for an extended period of time. This factor makes them ideal for endurance type of events where one is exercising for long durations.
