Single muscle fiber myosin heavy chain distribution in elite female track athletes.

Medicine and science in sports and exercise - 1 Mar 2003

Parcell Allen C, Sawyer Robert D, Craig Poole R

Abstract excerpt

PURPOSE: Myosin heavy chain (MHC) characterization of tissue samples from the gastrocnemius muscle of six elite female athletes and 10 untrained females was performed using myosin ATPase histochemistry and gel electrophoresis. Athletes were of national and international caliber, whereas their untrained counterparts were healthy individuals not involved in a regular exercise program. METHODS: Muscle biopsies for...
