MV, cm³	1,380±31	1,490±35	1,580±39^†	1,700±48

Values are means (SD). Values for 1 RM, MV, and MQ are least square means ± SE. Sample size variability in number of subjects was because of missing data for muscle phenotypes.

^†

Significantly greater than for White subjects (P < 0.001);

^‡

significantly greater increase than the increase in White subjects (P < 0.05).
