Table 6.

Comparison of subsarcolemmal and intermyofibrillar mitochondrial density, expressed as intensity of fluorescence, between type I and type IIA fibers before training (untrained) and after 8 weeks of harness training (trained).

Untrained Trained
Fiber type Subsarcolemmal region Intermyofibrillar region Subsarcolemmal region Intermyofibrillar region
Type I 59.91 (10.27–109.39) 39.48 (7.01–86.26) 54.33 (42.50–75.88) 36.48 (21.96–59.42)
Type IIA 41.67 (7.67–49.14)* 22.49 (3.81–31.13)* 33.24 (25.05–54.95)* 18.41 (12.47–39.44)*
*

Significantly different from type I, p < 0.01.

Results are given as median (minimum–maximum).
