Bear Strength

[Polar]

Older and post-prime-aged bears, as proven by the study, can grow as much muscle as prime-aged bears, but most of it is the denser muscle fiber type (slow-twitch Type Ia/Ib).

Prime bears develop more fast-twitch fibers to supplement their huge body volume, and young bears are more prone to an increased combination of Type Ia and fast-twitch fibers (that is why young bears have so much endurance.) Reply
