Overview

Does not guide human therapy; leaves open whether activity-driven fiber shifts apply to cardiac or skeletal muscle disease.

Structured PICO

P
Population
Rabbit muscle fibers
I
Intervention
Chronically increased contractile activity by low-frequency stimulation
O
Outcome
Transformation of fast- into slow-twitch muscle fiberssurrogate

Demonstrates that mammalian skeletal muscle fibers are highly dynamic and can undergo fast-to-slow phenotypic transitions in response to increased contractile demand.
