fiber than those who predominantly ate products made
of refined grains and those who steered clear from all
types of grains.
There's been a lot
of debate whether increasing the time under tensions triggers greater muscle gains, but the majority
of studies support this claim under various discoveries: • The cross-section area
of the slow - twitch
type muscle
fibers is greatly increased, which leads to maximal stimulation
of these
type I
fibers since they possess a high level
of fatigue threshold, which also promotes an increased hypertrophic response.
For the
study, hamsters were given high - fat rations, and for some hamsters these rations were supplemented with one
of 3 different
types of blueberry juice by products:
fiber extracted from the blueberry peels; blueberry skin peels which are leftover after berries are pressed for juice making; or natural compounds extracted from the blueberry peels called polyphenols.
In this
study of 12 patients with elevated LDL cholesterol levels, a diet containing almonds and other nuts, plant sterols (also found in nuts), and soluble

Finally, different
types of dietary
fiber may vary in their physiologic effects; however, a comprehensive evaluation
of the effects
of fiber subtypes on CRP was not conducted in the 2 previous
studies (13, 15).

In general, endurance athletes tend to display a greater proportion
of type I muscle
fibers, as shown by early
studies (Gollnick et al. 1972; Costill et al. 1979) and later investigations (Harber et al. 2004a).
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).
Studies to data suggest that strength athletes are likely to display a greater proportion
of type II muscle
fibers than
type I muscle
fibers, while non-strength athletes are more likely to display a mixed muscle
fiber proportion.
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).
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).
Among the lower body muscles, the plantar flexors display the highest proportion
of type I muscle
fibers, and the knee extensors display the lowest proportion
of type I muscle
fibers, as shown in the chart below, which presents the mean

studies.
However, research on the low - FODMAP diet for IBS conflicts with other
studies suggesting that prebiotics, a
type of fermentable
fiber, improve both gut - and brain - related symptoms
of IBS.
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.
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).
Even so, rodent
studies indicate that
fiber type shifts are independent
of contraction velocity, and are in fact simply driven by volume
of training (Eftestøl et al. 2016).
The
studies have shown that lemon contains a
type of fiber called «Pectin».
In this
study of 12 patients with elevated LDL cholesterol levels, a diet containing almonds and other nuts, plant sterols (also found in nuts), soy protein, and soluble
fiber (in high amounts in beans, oats, pears) reduced blood levels
of all LDL fractions including small dense LDL (the
type that most increases risk for cardiovascular disease) with near maximal reductions seen after only 2 weeks.
In addition to burning more fat, a
study by Aagaard and Anderson demonstrated that your body will also respond to strength training by improving the number
of Type IIa (or fatigue - resistant) fast twitch muscle
fibers in key muscle groups.
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.
In this
study as well,
Type 1
fibers grew more when training at 30 % versus 80 %
of 1rm (though the difference wasn't statistically significant).
However, the effects
of dietary
fiber on glycemic control were considered inconsequential.1 Furthermore, the expert panel
of the ADA considered it difficult to achieve a high dietary intake
of soluble
fiber without consuming foods or supplements fortified with
fiber.1 We therefore designed the present
study to determine the effects on glycemic control and plasma lipid concentrations
of increasing the intake
of dietary
fiber in patients with
type 2 diabetes exclusively through the consumption
of foods not fortified with
fiber (unfortified foods) to a level beyond that recommended by the ADA.
Both
of these
studies run counter to the idea that lighter training is better for
Type 1
fiber growth.
«For example, one
type of bacteria that thrived as a result
of the
types of fiber fed in this
study is inherently anti-inflammatory, and their growth could be stimulated by using prebiotics, foods that promote the bacteria's growth, or probiotics, foods that contain the live microorganism,» said Swanson.
«Taken together, our results indicate that individuals with diets rich in
fiber, in particular cereal
fiber, may be at lower risk
of type 2 diabetes,» Dagfinn Aune, an author
of the
study and a Ph.D. student with the Norwegian University
of Science and Technology and Imperial College London, said in the press release.
In a randomized, crossover
study, we assigned 13 patients with
type 2 diabetes mellitus to follow two diets, each for six weeks: a diet containing moderate amounts
of fiber (total, 24 g; 8 g
of soluble
fiber and 16 g
of insoluble
fiber), as recommended by the American Diabetes Association (ADA), and a high -
fiber diet (total, 50 g; 25 g
of soluble
fiber and 25 g
of insoluble
fiber) containing foods not fortified with
fiber (unfortified foods).
Hypertrophy
of type I muscle
fibers, such as that seen in the present
study, is important given that these
fibers are more insulin sensitive [33]; they contain a greater oxidative and mitochondria capacity, and higher capillary density [32].
For instance, Y. Izumiya
of Boston University
studied mice in a clinical setting and learned that the development
of type 2b muscle
fibers:
Similarly, Gjovagg et al. (2008) performed a cohort
study of male and female adults aged 22 years and found that the proportion
of type I muscle
fiber was 35 %.
In
studies that examined the source
of fiber, researchers found that
fiber from whole grains, but not from fruit or vegetable sources, appears to exert the protective effect in reducing risk for developing
type 2 diabetes.36 - 38
This important new
study used the latest methods to determine the muscle
fiber type of the biceps femoris (long head), which is the hamstring muscle that is most often injured during sprinting.
Studies to date suggest that the triceps displays a greater proportion
of type II muscle
fibers than
type I muscle
fibers.
This belief came from a couple
of older
studies that showed a slightly greater proportion
of type II muscle
fibers in the hamstrings compared to other muscles.
Studying the overall
fiber intake and
types of fiber consumed over a 16 year period by almost 70,000 women in the Nurses Health

of developing gallstones compared to women consuming the fewest
fiber - rich foods.
Very few
studies have reported on the muscle
fiber type of the adductors, although the adductor magnus has been explored more often than most
of the more minor muscles.
A
study out
of Boston revealed that doing exercise that recruited more
type 2
fibers also improved insulin sensitivity and caused reductions in blood glucose, insulin, and leptin levels — all beneficial for fat loss — and that these effects occurred despite a reduction in physical activity.
For the above reasons, the
