Overview

Muscle plasticity informs exercise dosing; leaves open validation of transition thresholds in cardiovascular disease.

Structured PICO

P
Population
Mammalian skeletal muscle fibers
I
Intervention
Altered functional demands (changes in neuromuscular activity or mechanical loading)
O
Outcome
Adaptive changes in the expression of myofibrillar and other protein isoforms resulting in fiber type transitions

Mammalian skeletal muscle fibers possess significant adaptive potential, allowing them to transition between slow/fast and aerobic/glycolytic phenotypes based on functional demands.
