Fiber Type Adaptation

Fiber Type Adaptation is a physiological process in skeletal muscle whereby the distribution and characteristics of myofiber subtypes shift in response to mechanical loading, neural input, or metabolic demand, thereby optimizing contractile function and fatigue resistance to prevailing biomechanical conditions.
