Muscle Strength and Fiber Typing

Clinics in Sports Medicine, 1984
The authors discuss fiber typing and morphologic changes resulting from training and how these affect athletic performance. Also considered is the concept of strength, its measurement and development, and how strength affects athletic performance, activity, and injury.

Types of muscle fibers in the extraocular muscles of birds

Experimental Eye Research, 1972
Abstract Eye muscles of the quail, pigeon, sparrow and canary were examined histologically to see if their fibers are differentiated into two or more types, as has been described for mammals. In each oblique and rectus muscle examined, an area along the orbital border was found to be occupied by fibers of small cross-sectional area, and a more ...

Types of human intrafusal muscle fibers

Muscle & Nerve, 1979
AbstractThe histochemical and fine structural profiles of human intrafusal muscle fibers were studied. Spindles were located in freshly frozen specimens taken from biopsied normal external intercostal muscles, and periodic 10‐ and 50‐μm‐thick cross sections were processed alternately for enzyme histochemical and electron microscopic examination ...

Muscle Fiber Types

Orthopedics, 1985
ABSTRACT; Muscle fiber can be typed according to histologic, biochemical, neurophysiology, and ultrastructural differences. The relationship between muscle fiber typing and clinical areas of investigation is summarized. Genetic factors are largely responsible for the distribution of main muscle fiber types.

Determination of Muscle Fiber Type in Rodents

Current Protocols in Mouse Biology, 2012
AbstractSkeletal muscles consist of muscle fibers that can differ in both composition and functional characteristics. These three types of muscle fibers, broadly categorized as slow, fast IIa, and fast IIb muscle fibers, express characteristic myosin heavy chain proteins and have different metabolic and enzymatic activities, which can be used as ...

Muscle Fiber Types of Human Orbicularis Oculi Muscle

Journal of Craniofacial Surgery, 2011
The aim of this study was to elucidate the muscle type of the preseptal, pretarsal, and ciliary parts of the orbicularis oculi muscle in humans using immunostaining. The eyelids of 5 Korean adult cadavers were used (3 male and 2 female cadavers; age range, 50-85 years).

Fiber types and fiber diameters in canine respiratory muscles

Journal of Applied Physiology, 1987
In the present study, we measured fiber types and fiber diameters in canine respiratory muscles and examined regional variation within the diaphragm. Samples of eight diaphragm regions, internal intercostals, external intercostals, transversus abdominis, and triceps brachii were removed from eight adult mongrel dogs, frozen, and histochemically ...

Muscle Fiber Types in Thoracic Erector Spinae Muscles

Clinical Orthopaedics and Related Research, 1987
Histochemical studies of the thoracic part of the erector spinae muscles in scoliosis have shown a consistently higher proportion of Type 1 fibers on the convex side. The fiber distribution of the multifidus and semispinalis muscles was studied in adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS).

A metachromatic dye-ATPase method for the simultaneous identification of skeletal muscle fiber types I, IIA, IIB and IIC.

Stain Technology, 1990
The histochemical demonstration of quantitative differences in myofibrillar ATPase activity at the selective pH optima of the various types of human skeletal muscle fibers is the most widely used technique for their differentiation.

Muscle fiber type transformation in nemaline myopathy and congenital fiber type disproportion

Brain and Development, 1986
In a morphometric study on biopsied muscles from 5 patients with nemaline myopathy (NM) and 5 with congenital fiber type disproportion (CFTD), the common findings were relative type 1 fiber smallness, type 1 fiber predominance and occasional hypertrophic type 2 fibers.
