Cross-sectional area (μm2) of type I (a), type IIA (b), and type IIB (c) fibers in the tibialis anterior muscle. Values are presented as the mean ± SEM. *, , and are significantly different from the Cont, HU, and ES groups, respectively, at P < 0.05. In each muscle fiber type, over 100 muscle fibers were measured.
