Red muscle- smaller, used long term, (endurance muscle) eg: postural muscle
- small mass, lower atpase activity, aerobic metabolism, high myoglobinn=Red
White muscle- larger, short term (leg muscles of sprinter, ocular muscles)
-large mass, high atpase activity, anaerobic glycolysis, low myoglobin=white
