Table 3.

Comparison of fiber type specific and mean minimum Feret's diameter in the m. semitendinosus before training (untrained) and after 8 weeks of harness training (trained).

Training state Minimum Feret's diameter (μm)
Type I (μm) Type IIA (μm) Type IIAX (μm) Type IIX (μm) Mean (μm)
Untrained 66.76 (49.97–94.33) 66.99 (52.58–92.35) 78.83 (56.96–101.01) 85.40 (62.79–99.46) 73.27 (58.15–96.32)
Trained 56.23 (49.26–68.88)* 65.19 (49.71–78.31) 72.70 (54.63–100.59) 65.59 (54.45–94.83) 63.06 (58.27–82.14)*

Significantly different from untrained, p < 0.05.

Minimum Feret's diameter is expressed in μm and results are given as median (minimum–maximum).
