This does not exclude the possibility that shifts in muscle fiber type from type I to type II could occur through
strength training programs of longer durations but the current literature does not allow us to answer this question (see review
by Wilson et al. 2012).
My personal bias is that high rep
strength training is not a replacement for traditional heavy weight / low rep
training — I think high rep
training should be combined with traditional heavy weight / low rep as a way to improve results versus doing just heavy weights / low reps
by themselves (as most
programs prescribe).
On the other hand, there are some indications that
strength training programs of < 6 months in untrained subjects 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.

In 30 years I have encountered very few (one or two)
strength programs that advocate reps above 20 and most advocate no more than 15 reps. (I am not including warm up sets — I am only referring to «work sets», those sets done to elicit a
training response, not the sets done to «warm» the muscles
by doing a high rep set and a low intensity of effort.)
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.
Just a general question about exercise: what do you think of Doug McGuff's (author of «Body
by Science») approach to achieving total fitness via high intensity
strength training, and do you see any reason why such an extreme
program should not be followed on a ketogenic diet (Doug is an advocate of a low carb Paleolithic diet).
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.

Short term studies of muscle hypertrophy with untrained or lightly
trained subjects is not the best way, in my opinion, to evaluate the long term effectiveness of a
strength training program because a) the study is too short to form a long term conclusion, b) untrained and lightly
trained subjects gain muscle from any resistance
training (for example, I, as a young non-exercising man, gained 20 lbs of muscle in my first 4 months in the Army
by doing nothing but high rep calisthenics, running, and road marching) and c) muscle hypertrophy is not a great proxy (substitute) for determining actual long term
strength gains.
