Agropyron repens, family Gramineae, a perennial grass, widespread in the northeastern and central states, U.S., it has become established on farm fields and is generally regarded as a pernicious weed. Spreading mainly by rootstocks or underground stems, it is difficult to eradicate. However, it has some value as a forage and hay plant and as a cover plant to prevent soil erosion. Native to Eurasia. 4, record 1, English, - quitch%20grass

Because fast twitch fibers use anaerobic metabolism to create fuel, they are much better at generating short bursts of strength or speed than slow muscles. However, they fatigue more quickly. Fast twitch fibers generally produce the same amount of force per contraction as slow muscles, but they get their name because they are able to fire more rapidly. Having more fast twitch fibers can be an asset to a sprinter since she needs to quickly generate a lot of force. 3, record 2, English, - fast%2Dtwitch%20muscle%20fiber

Les fibres rapides sont pâles car elles contiennent très peu de myoglobine et qu'elles sont peu vascularisées. Ce sont de grosses cellules qui contiennent peu de mitochondries, et leur myosine utilise l'ATP très rapidement, ce qui les rend aptes à produire des contractions très rapides et puissantes lors de courtes périodes d'activité intense. Leurs réserves de glycogène sont importantes (mais épuisables), ce qui leur permet de produire de l'ATP par voie anaérobie. 1, record 2, French, - fibre%20musculaire%20%C3%A0%20contraction%20rapide

Poppers can be twitched sharply to make popping sounds and bubbles. But a gentle twitch or a slight pull that just ripples the surface often works better. Fishermen commonly make the mistake of pulling the popper too far. In most cases, use the shortest tug that still makes the lure pop. Each twitch or pop is usually followed by a pause. But a fast popping retrieve, without pauses, sometimes works better for bass, pike and muskies. 1, record 12, English, - twitch
