Extraordinary Fast-Twitch Fiber Abundance in Elite Weightlifters

2018-11-12

Abstract excerpt

<h4>ABSTRACT</h4> Human skeletal muscle fibers exist across a continuum of slow → fast-twitch. The amount of each fiber type (FT) influences muscle performance but remains largely unexplored in elite athletes, particularly from strength/power sports. To address this nescience, vastus lateralis ( VL ) biopsies were performed on World/Olympic (female, n=6, “WCF”) and National-caliber (female, n=9, “NCF”; and mal...
