Abstract
Talent Identification in the field of exercise science is growing exponentially, where muscle is considered as most reliable method for determining muscle fiber type and selecting sports activity accordingly. Muscle architecture a new fiber type determination technique is now in trend, which refers to the macroscopic arrangement of muscle fibres that influences a muscle's mechanical function. Previous research has shown a relationship between muscle architecture (such as fascicle length, muscle thickness, and pennation angle) and muscle fibre types (e.g. slow twitch fibres and fast twitch fibers). This small review attempts to briefly discuss how muscle architecture has been investigated in the realm of sport/exercise performance, as well as how various muscle fibre types have varied muscle architecture characteristics.
