[Analysis of the composition of skeletal muscle fibers in skaters' muscles]
Abstract
Muscle fibers composition was investigated in vastus lateralis muscles of 103 skaters. In the total population of skaters muscle fibers composition was as follows: muscle fibers, type I--in 54 +/- 2%, muscle fibers, type II A--in 35 +/- 1% and muscle fibers, type II B--in 11 +/- 1%. 13 +/- 8% muscle fibers, type I; 1.56 +/- 6% muscle fibers, type II A and 31 +/- 7% muscle fibers, type II B were observed in the muscles of sprinters, while the muscles of long-distance skaters contained 60 +/- 4%, 33 +/- 4% and 7 +/- 2% muscle fibers, respectively.
