Figure 1.

Fibre phenotype continuum illustrating the six main myosin heavy chain isoforms observed in mammalian jaw muscles, each operating at different capacities along the continuum. Hybrid fibres are denoted with brackets below the arrow but may occur in any combination. Maximum unloaded shortening velocity and tension cost increases from left to right while fatigue resistance decreases left to right.
