Fiber-type perfusion heterogeneity in rodents does not inform human exercise prescriptions; leaves open translation to clinical cardiovascular responses.
Blood flow capacity in rat skeletal muscle is proportional to the differences in oxidative capacity among fiber types, with red fiber sections showing higher flows during contractions.
