Plantarflexion SSC training reduces the deficit in GTN muscle quality inherent with the Pit1 mutation. Values were determined for (a) body weight, (b) GTN muscle mass, (c) GTN muscle mass normalized to tibial length, (d) GTN normalized muscle mass per gram of body weight, (e) maximum plantarflexion isometric torque, (f) maximum plantarflexion isometric torque per gram of body weight, (g) plantarflexor muscle quality, and (h) plantarflexor muscle quality following training expressed as a percentage of nontrained values. Sample sizes were N = 7 to 11 per group. Values are means ± SE. *Different from nontrained value; ^†Different from control value, p < 0.05
