What are the different muscle fiber types? | Live Science

Home References (Image credit: Getty) If your fitness goal is to up the ante on endurance, pack more power into your sprint, or supercharge your strength gains in the gym, it’s worth exploring – what are the different muscle fiber types?The muscle fibers activated during training vary depending on the type of exercise or sport you’re undertaking, so swotting up on the different muscle fiber types, how they work, and why they matter for sports performance, could help you become a more effective athlete. According to the Physical Therapy & Rehabilitation Journal (opens in new tab), human skeletal muscle is composed of a collection of two muscle fiber types traditionally categorized as type I (slow-twitch) and type II (fast-twitch). Slow-twitch fibers are utilized for aerobic exercise,  contracting slower and with less power, but for longer periods. Fast-twitch fibers contract faster and with more force, but are better suited to anaerobic conditions and short periods. Find some of the best fitness trackers (opens in new tab) to power up your training motivation, or if it’s better muscular performance you’re after, you might love one of the best massage guns (opens in new tab) to relieve sore muscles. We spoke to experts to learn more…

Super Replay | Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance – Game Informer

Standing here, I realize that this Super Replay will be a cut above the rest because we’ll be slicing and dicing in Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance! Join us today on Twitch at 3 p.m. Central to enjoy two hours of what will be a full playthrough of the cult favorite action game streaming weekly each Friday.  Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance serves as a sequel/spin-off to Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots that puts cyborg ninja Raiden at the helm. Instead of sneaking around in boxes, players eviscerate foes in fast-paced, stylish action courtesy of developer Platinum Games. Since its launch in 2013, Revengence’s action and absurdity have garnered it a passionate internet fandom, but I have a little secret: I didn’t think the game was all that special when I played it at launch. However, years of being inundated with internet memes and being told my opinion is incorrect has inspired me to give Revengece another look. Will I acquire a new appreciation for the game nine years later? How many watermelons will I slice? You’ll have to tune in to find out.  Join me, Marcus Stewart, along with Andrew Reiner and Blake Hester, as we revisit Raiden’s beloved solo…

Transgender Twitch streamer Keffals targeted with swatting: “I thought I was going to die”

A transgender activist and popular Twitch streamer was arrested after police raided her London, Ontario home in what she says was a “swatting” incident. Swatting is the act of making a false police report in order to get police to go to a person’s home. In 2017, a swatting led to the death of a Kansas man, Andrew Finch. Clara Sorrenti, who goes by the name Keffals on social media, says that on August 5 police searched her apartment for eight hours and arrested her after someone using her deadname sent violent threats to local city hall officials. An email from her address claimed that Sorrenti had killed her mother and was planning to shoot people at city hall. “I thought I was going to die,” Sorrenti told Global News Toronto. Here's the TV piece about what @keffals endured during her swatting and doxxing in London, Ontario. She first talks about how her community has often been a haven for transgender youth and the LGBTQ+ community at large. pic.twitter.com/wmTrzmCC90 — Ahmar Khan (@AhmarSKhan) August 10, 2022 An officer told CBC News that police obtained a search warrant for Sorrenti’s residence. After 11 hours in custody, she was released without charges, but…

Namely, it turns out Spectral Steed Torrent actually does come into the starting cave where the player wakes up after being slain by the Grafted Scion, along with Melina. We've absolutely no clue how the steed managed to…

Members of a SWAT team are pictured in Des Moines, Washington, on February 16, 2018. David Ryder/Getty Popular Twitch streamer "Keffals" has been arrested and allegedly harassed by police after being targeted by transphobic trolls.Keffals, whose real name is Clara Sorrenti, said she was the victim of "swatting"—the practice of intentionally encouraging law enforcement to harshly respond to a person by filing false reports about them—when she was arrested by police in London, Ontario, on the morning of August 5. The arrested happened after London City Hall was sent multiple fake emails alleging that she had killed her own mother, was in possession of an illegal gun and was planning to travel to City Hall to "shoot every cisgender person."Police took the fake messages seriously despite a series of grammatical errors and other hints that they could be the work of online trolls—including information about her "deadname," a term that transgender people sometimes use to describe their legal names before transitioning.Sorrenti said that she was arrested after being woken up by London Police Services officers pointing an assault rifle in her face.

At this point in MLB The Show 22, we've gone over a few theme teams. But now, we are going to discuss the best overall team in Diamond Dynasty. We've seen a few 99's and a lot of really good cards, so let's dive right in. But before we fully dive in, let's go over some rules:1. No Secondaries, only Primary Positions2. The team will consist of only starters, no bench players3. There will be one Starting Pitcher, One Reliever and One Closer— MLB The Show (@MLBTheShow) August 8, 2022We are going to discuss each player and at the end, show the overall batting order that we would use with this team. Catcher- 2nd Half Mike NapoliStarting right out of the gate we have our catcher. Although Napoli isn't the highest overall catcher, we had to pick him because of his hitting stats. He crushes baseballs and was an easy pick for catcher. First Base- Prime David OrtizFirst base was our first difficult pick, but we decided on Prime David Ortiz. We could have selected Frank Thomas, but frankly, Ortiz has a better swing than Thomas. Second Base- All-Star Collection Reward Jackie RobinsonNow for second. Jackie Robinson was the easy…

Disguised Toast warns Ninja's Twitch Masterclass is “misleading” – Dot Esports

Jeremy “Disguised Toast” Wang has warned aspiring Twitch streamers that Tyler “Ninja” Blevins’ advice in his MasterClass tutorial series about what it takes to start a successful streaming career is misleading. Toast couldn’t help but laugh when he saw a snippet of the series for the first time on Aug. 1. However, after being asked about it again during his stream on Aug. 9, he dropped a bombshell on Ninja. First, he totally dismissed Ninja’s advice, and then he called the star “a liar.” Image via MasterClass “Your streaming career will never, ever start with you pressing the stream button!” said Toast. “I promise your streaming career will not start with you pressing the steam button.” For that reason, he claims the Fortnite icon is stretching the truth. “I know you paid $200 for Ninja to tell you that, but he’s lying to you! Ninja is a liar!” However, he didn’t seem to take himself too seriously. Rather than pressing a button and expecting the magic to happen overnight, Toast said the reality of launching a streaming career requires a lot of groundwork. “Your streaming career starts with either you starting a YouTube channel, you starting a TikTok channel, or…

Final Fantasy 14 modder plays Scholar with book and pencil setup – GamesRadar

Home Games MMO Final Fantasy XIV (Image credit: SuperLouis64 via Twitter) Someone's played Final Fantasy 14 with an actual, real-life spell book.That someone would be Twitch streamer SuperLouis64 (opens in new tab), who streamed yesterday on August 7 with his brand new, erm, controller. After some extreme difficulty putting on his graduation cap correctly along with a flashy blue robe, SuperLouis64 takes on the challenge of playing Final Fantasy 14 with a book controller.The spell book controller is the perfect vehicle for playing the Scholar class in Final Fantasy 14. The streamer actually scribbles in their spell book to cast spells as the Scholar, but unfortunately there wasn't enough room to give buttons for every move in the Scholar's arsenal.Therefore, it's a bit of a handicap, more so than you might think for a book controller. If SuperLouis64 wants to revive a player in a Raid or Dungeon, they can't "swiftcast," meaning they've got to really rely on another player to raise an ally from the dead instead if they don't want a "slowcast" instead. Hey, as far as handicaps with a book controller go, that's not bad.As for moving, that's all down to the pencil controller, the counterpart to…
