TABLE 3.
Fiber type distribution within entire study sample.
| Sample of Male Amateur SOCCER Players (n = 39) | |
|---|---|
| Slow twitch fiber dominant (z < -0.5) (count (%)) | 13 (33) |
| Intermediate type dominant (-0.5 < z > 0.5) (count (%)) | 17 (44) |
| Fast twitch fiber dominant (z > 0.5) (count (%)) | 9 (23) |
Note: n, study sample; %, percentage. Z < -0.5 = predominantly Slow Twitch Fibers; 0.5 < Z > -0.5 = Intermediate Type; Z > 0.5 = Predominantly Fast Twitch Fibers.
