Sentences with phrase «similar fiber type»

The two loading protocols produced similar fiber type shifts, but the high external load protocol produced much greater hypertrophy.

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).

Not exact matches

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.

With the lower body, women can do the same number of reps as men at a given percentage of their 1RM [one - rep max], since we have a similar distribution of type I and type II muscle fibers there.

In Mitchell et al. (2012), the group training with 30 % of 1RM increased type I muscle fiber area by nearly twice as much as type II muscle fiber area, while the group training with 80 % of 1RM increased both type I and type II muscle fiber areas by a similar amount.

Although it is not well - known, muscle fibers of different types (I, IIA and IIX) display very similar force producing abilities, but very different contraction velocities.

There are some indications that similar programs can lead to a shift within the sub-types of type II muscle fibers, from type IIX to type IIA muscle fibers, as measured by muscle fiber type proportion.

Similarly, in Campos et al. (2002), increases in type I fiber area were similar to the increases in type IIA and type IIX area in the 20 — 28RM group.

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.

Although all fiber types have a similar single fiber force, type II muscle fibers display a much faster shortening velocity than type I muscle fibers.

The relative CSA reflects the size of each group of fibers in the sample relative to the others, and this typically involves a similar shift to the proportion, with type IIX fiber area decreasing, and type IIA fiber area increasing.

In the literature, it is traditionally (albeit tacitly) assumed that the mechanisms are in some way loosely connected, and that similar mechanical loading of a muscle fiber will lead to both hypertrophy and a fiber type shift (mainly from hybrid or type IIX fiber types to type IIA fiber type).

This diet is similar to the Atkins Diet, and we do not recommend these types of diets because of the many health risks associated with consuming high amounts of protein and fat and low amounts of carbohydrates and fiber.

The other study used a similar protocol, but the researchers did actually take muscle biopsies to get an accurate measure of fiber type breakdown.

However, in this study, heavy training and light training both caused similar amounts of Type 1 fiber growth, and in this study, light training to failure didn't cause any Type 1 fiber growth at all, while heavier training did.
