ST

The two-character ISO 3166 country code for SAO TOME AND PRINCIPE.

ST

1. ISO 3166-1 alpha-2 code for the Democratic Republic of Sao Tome and Principe. This is the code used in international transactions to and from Santomean bank accounts.

2. ISO 3166-2 geocode for Sao Tome and Principe. This is used as an international standard for shipping to the country. Sao Tome and Principe each have their own codes with the prefix "ST." The code for the Sao Tome is ISO 3166-2:ST-ST, while for Principe it is ISO 3166-2:ST-PR.

Fast-twitch fibers also retain their ability to produce power much longer, up to six months, during detraining than slow-twitch fibers, which lose their functional aerobic endurance capacity within approximately two weeks of inactivity.

If, initially, the force requirements are low, the slow-twitch fibers are capable of handling the load.

First, because all our schedules required a submaximal contraction less than 50%, it is likely that only the slow-twitch fibers were fatigued during the work cycle.
