Table 3.

%CSA of each fibre type observed in each specimen. slow + 2 and fast + α-cardiac were the most common hybrid fibre types observed. slow + 2 = MHC-1 + MHC α-cardiac + MHC-2; fast + α-cardiac = MHC α-cardiac + MHC-2 + MHC-M; slow-hybrid = MHC-1 + MHC α-cardiac; fast-hybrid = MHC-2 + MHC-M; all = MHC-1 + MHC α-cardiac + MHC-2 + MHC-M.
