This table provides an overview of studies that have assessed the change in muscle fiber satellite cell content in response to a single bout of various other exercise modalities. Type I, type I muscle fibers; Type II, type II muscle fibers; Mixed, mixed muscle fibers. Pre value is the average number of satellite cells reported per muscle fiber.
