Individual fiber-type distribution given as percentages (%) for weight bearing WB (n = 8), hindlimb suspension for 14 days HS14 (n = 8), reloading RE (n = 10), and RE massaged limb REM (n = 10). Values are mean ± SEM. A one-way ANOVA with Holm–Sidak post hoc analyses were used to determine statistical significance
