Maintenance of skeletal muscle is essential for health and survival. There are marked losses
of skeletal muscle mass as well as strength and physiological function under conditions of …

Skeletal muscle fibers are classified according to the myosin heavy chain (MHC) isoforms
and other myofibrillar proteins expressed within these cells. In addition to 'pure'fibers …

Purpose: Information on muscle fiber type composition is of great importance in muscle
physiology and athletic performance. Because there are only a few techniques available that …

Non‐technical summary A single bout of exercise stimulates the production of new muscle
proteins. Furthermore, ingesting protein in close proximity to exercise enhances the …

Tensiomyography is a method for valid and non-invasive estimation of skeletal muscle fibre
type composition. The validity of selected temporal tensiomyographic measures has been …

High‐intensity interval training (HIIT) forms an important component of endurance athletes'
training, but little is known on intramuscular metabolic and fiber type adaptations. This study …

Skeletal muscle adaptation to exercise training is a consequence of repeated contraction-
induced increases in gene expression that lead to the accumulation of functional proteins …

Background Human skeletal muscle is composed of a functional and metabolic continuum of
slow (Type I) and fast fibers (IIa and IIx). Hybrid fibers co‐expressing different myosin heavy …

The cheetah is considered the fastest land animal, but studies on their skeletal muscle
properties are scarce. Vastus lateralis biopsies, obtained from male and female cheetahs as …

Lion (Panthera leo) and caracal (Caracal caracal) skeletal muscle samples from Vastus
lateralis, Longissimus dorsi and Gluteus medius were analyzed for fiber type and citrate …
