Overview of the multi-factorial changes during human skeletal muscle aging. The higher susceptibility of fast-twitching type II fibers causes a tendency of fast-to-slow transitions in senescent muscles. This is reflected by a switch from fast myosin heavy chain isoforms (MyHC-2a, MyHC-2x) to slower counterparts (MyHC-1) during skeletal muscle aging.
