Different muscles display different proportions of muscle fiber types.

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.

Strength training in untrained subjects causes a shift in muscle fiber proportion from type IIX to type IIA muscle fiber type, and may also produce similar effects in trained individuals.

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..

Outcome — the muscle fiber area of a given muscle fiber type, which is an absolute measurement.

Eriksson et al. (2005) also explored the muscle fiber type of the trapezius in powerlifters and reported that the trapezius displays 46 % type I muscle fibers in non-steroid users and 40 % type I muscle fibers in steroid users.

Muscle fiber type can be measured in 3 ways: myosin ATPase histochemistry, immunohistochemistry, or (much less commonly) metabolic enzymes.

Trappe et al. (2006) reported that there was a significant change in muscle fiber type, involving an 8 % increase in type I fibers (48 ± 6 % to 56 ± 6 %) that was created by a loss of hybrids but not by a loss of type II muscle fibers.

Long - term factors can be subdivided into psychological areas (e.g. Mahoney, 1989) and (more commonly researched) physical areas, such as age, anthropometrics, muscle fiber type, and strength, which are set out below.

Strength training in untrained subjects can cause an increase in all of the main muscle fiber type areas (type I, type IIA and type IIX).

Changes in muscle fiber type can be presented as either changes in the proportion of fibers of a given type, or as changes in the absolute or relative cross-sectional area of the fibers.

Muscle fiber areas of all muscle fiber types can increase or decrease following any given training or detraining intervention.

Thus, although there are only three isoforms expressed in human skeletal muscle, there are many more hybrid muscle fiber types comprising muscle fibers with several different isoforms within the same muscle fiber (see review by Scott et al. 2001).

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.

Given that muscle architecture, muscle fiber type, and tendon stiffness are poor candidates for velocity - specificity, it is worth reminding ourselves that there must be some changes inherent inside a muscle that contribute to greater gains in force at higher speeds after velocity - focused training.

Several studies have investigated the muscle fiber type of Olympic weightlifters and compared it with other athletes (Tesch et al. 1984; Tesch & Karlsson, 1985; Fry et al. 2003).

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).

Strength training in untrained subjects increase all of the main muscle fiber type areas.

This led some experts to recommend focusing on type II muscle fiber types in strength training for hypertrophy, although exactly how this might be achieved is unclear.

The changes in specific tension (the ratio of strength - to - size) after strength training are not explained by changes in muscle fiber type (Erskine et al. 2011).

Therefore, the prevailing muscle fiber types of individual muscles is very important.

The above description of the contractile properties of each muscle fiber type might lead you to believe that each type of fiber has distinct contractile properties.

Additionally, while there are indications of preferential increases in type II muscle fiber type area after training at faster speeds (Coyle et al. 1981; Thomeé et al. 1987; Zaras et al. 2013; Pareja - Blanco et al. 2016a), this is also by no means a uniform finding (Ewing Jr et al. 1990; Malisoux et al. 2006; Vissing et al. 2008; Lamas et al. 2012).

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, the extent to which genetics and the environment are each responsible for the prevailing muscle fiber type in any given individual is unclear.

The difference in the muscle fiber type of the soleus and gastrocnemius presents a useful opportunity for strength training programming.

Velocity - focused training might be able to produce shifts in muscle fiber type (measured either by MHC composition or fiber type distribution) or preferential muscle fiber type area hypertrophy, in the direction of type I ⇒ type IIA ⇒ type IIX.

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.

However, it is also noted that observations of greater hypertrophy in type II muscle fibers could potentially be more a function of the type of strength training programs that are conventionally used to study increases in muscle cross-sectional area than of the responsiveness of this particular muscle fiber type (Ogborn & Schoenfeld, 2014).

Such adaptations include shifts in muscle fiber type, alterations in fascicle length and pennation angle, and alterations in factors at the extracellular and cellular level affecting specific tension, which cause an increase in the strength - to - size ratio.
