Other investigations have found no differences in muscle
fiber type between bodybuilders and untrained controls (MacDougall et al. 1984; Klitgaard et al. 1990; Jürimäe et al. 1996).

However, for optimal results, you might want to consider alternating
between different rep ranges in order to force different
types of muscle cells and
fibers to grow.
The results showed a similar hypertrophy of
type I
fibers between the groups after nine weeks of training, but the group who performed slower on the concentric part had greater increases in
type II
fiber than the group who performed slower on the eccentric part.
For biceps, it's a bit tricky as there are not many exercises that are practical to switch
between AND which are different enough to stress the bicep muscle

types of curls.
Interim
fiber types are identified where staining
types between the main classes are observed.
More interestingly, Farup et al. (2014) found that the strength of the relationship
between rate of force development and
type IIX muscle
fiber relative area reduced steadily as the time period moved further away from the onset of the contraction (r = 0.61, 0.56, 0.46, 0.26 for 30ms, 50ms, 100ms and 200ms).
Nevertheless, it appears that the soleus has a markedly
type I
fiber proportion, ranging
between 70 — 96 %.
Nevertheless, there does appear to be a difference in
type IIA and
type IIX muscle
fiber proportion
between strength and power athletes and their respective controls, with most studies reporting a greater proportion of
type IIA, and a smaller proportion of
type IIX
fibers in the athletes (Klitgaard et al. 1990; Jürimäe et al. 1996; Fry et al. 2003a; Fry et al. 2003b; Shoepe et al. 2003; Kesidis et al. 2008) but again this is not seen entirely consistently (D'Antona et al. 2006).
On the other hand, the gastrocnemius comprises a mixture of
type I and
type II muscle
fibers with a slight tendency towards a greater proportion of
type I muscle
fibers, with the proportion ranging
between 50 — 76 % (Johnson et al. 1973; Edgerton et al. 1975; Dahmane et al. 2005; 2006; Keh - Evans et al. 2010).
However, it is likely that such
fiber type characteristics are not caused by shifts
between type I and
type II muscle
fibers, as aerobic exercise and strength training produce very similar
fiber type changes (Farup et al. 2014).
Since muscle
fiber type does not appear to differ substantially
between athletes of many groups and untrained controls in many (but not all) cases, it has been suggested that there is a large genetic component to the muscle
fiber type displayed by any given individual.
It would seem that the division might not be so very strict
between endurance and strength, as it is not
between the muscle
fiber types themselves..
This lack of any large difference in single
fiber force
between the various muscle
fibers is reflected by the lack of a relationship
between long - term strength gains and
fiber type shifts.
The rectus femoris displays a slight tendency towards a greater proportion of
type II muscle
fibers, with studies reporting a range
between 30 — 50 %
type I muscle
fiber proportion (Jennekens et al. 1971; Johnson et al. 1973; Garrett et al. 1984).
In general, the proportion of
type I muscle
fibers does not differ substantially
between athletes and controls (Klitgaard et al. 1990; Jürimäe et al 1996; Fry et al. 2003a; Fry et al. 2003b; Shoepe et al. 2003; Kesidis et al. 2008) but this is not seen entirely consistently (D'Antona et al. 2006).
One of the factors that differs
between muscle
fibers of different
types is muscle contraction velocity.
Strength training programs of < 6 months (e.g. Häkkinen et al. 2001; Häkkinen et al. 2003) in trained subjects do not lead to a shift
between type I to
type II muscle
fibers, as measured by muscle
fiber type proportion.
In summary, different speeds of training probably not seem to affect changes in muscle
fiber type, except when comparing
between training to failure or not to failure, when it appears to allow greater retention of
type IIX muscle
fiber area.
This section provides information about the predominant muscle
fiber types of different
types of athlete, as well as the relationship
between genetics and muscle
fiber type.
This is reflected in the lack of a strong cross-sectional relationship
between muscle
fiber type and either maximum isometric or dynamic strength (Evangelidis et al. 2016).
There are some indications that strength training with fast bar speeds may cause a shift
between type I and
type IIX muscle
fibers, as shown by the significant results reported by Liu et al. (2003) and the trends observed by Shepstone et al. (2005) and Pareja ‐ Blanco et al. (2015).
Overall, it appears that the proportion of
type I muscle
fibers of the gastrocnemius ranges
between 44 — 76 %.
Most studies indicate that strength training programs of standard durations (6 — 12 weeks) in trained subjects do not lead to a shift
between type I to
type II muscle
fibers, as measured by muscle
fiber type proportion, although the effect of longer programs is unknown.
While this has been found to be acceptable for certain muscle
fiber types and
between certain
typing methods (most obviously in respect of
type I muscle
fibers and
between MHC and myosin ATPase), it is not valid across the board.
The gastrocnemius muscles display a very high proportion of
type I muscle
fibers, ranging
between 44 — 76 %.
The soleus displays an even higher proportion of
type I muscle
fibers, ranging
between 70 — 96 %.

This works out to about a 50/50 split
between fiber types.
The one of the big differences
between the muscle

Before intervention, no significant differences were observed in

between PLA and PRO groups.
Beans have some of the highest value in terms of

Furthermore, when considering several studies, the lumbar erector spine at the region L3 — L4 appears to display 64 — 73 %
type I muscle
fibers in males, and
between 63 — 70 %
type I muscle
fibers in female individuals (Mannion et al. 1997; 2000; Sirca et al. 1985; Crossman et al. 2004; Jorgensen et al. 1993).
The erector spinae displays a greater proportion of
type I muscle
fibers than
type II muscle
fibers, with
type I muscle
fiber proportion ranging
between 63 — 73 % and 62 — 74 % in the lumbar and thoracic regions, respectively.
However, the reality is that most studies have found that the hamstrings have a fairly mixed muscle
fiber type, with a balance
between both
type I and
type II muscle
fibers.
Importantly, they reported that the muscle
fiber type was fairly balanced
between type I and
type II.
The intrinsic causative factors are those that are affected by physiology and include the number of active motor units (motor unit recruitment), the muscle
fiber type, the blood flow within the muscle, the muscle
fiber diameter, the depth of the active muscle
fibers within the muscle, the amount of non-muscle tissue
between the active muscle
fibers and the electrode (De Luca, 1997), and the muscle length (Kamen & Caldwell, 1996).
We all have a mixture of the two basic
types of
fibers in every muscle, but it's a ratio that may be different
between muscles in the same person as well as among different persons.

Indeed, muscle
fiber type adaptations do not even differ very much
between strength training and aerobic exercise (Farup et al. 2014).
This is probably because single
fiber force does not really differ that much
between muscle
fiber types (Malisoux et al. 2006).
In this current study, with low heterogeneity
