Abstract

In order to determine the total number of fibres and the extent to which the relative occurrence of different fibre types varies within m. vastus lateralis, 15 μm thick cross‐sections of whole muscles were prepared. The total number of type 1 and type 2 fibres was determined in every 48th square millimetre of the section, and the results thus obtained were analysed using a computer program allowing an assessment of bivariate data in the form of contour plots. The total number of fibres varied both in proximal to distal direction in the same muscle and between individuals. No obvious correlation existed between the mean fibre area and the muscle cross‐sectional area. The proportion of type 1 fibres in the whole muscle varied between individuals (from 44% to 57%) with a mean value for all five of 52%. The distribution of different fibre types varied within the muscle, mainly as a function of depth, with a predominance to type 2 fibres at the surface and type 1 fibres in deeper regions of the muscle. Thus, the fibre type distribution in m. vastus lateralis is not random. This must be taken into consideration when data on fibre type composition are compared with functional variables.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
