* FG, FOG, and SO fiber types as in Peters et al. [110 ]. Fiber types correspond to Type IIB, Type IIA, and Type I fibers, respectively. **No distinction was made in the distribution of Type II fibers for this species. Thus, the percentage of Type II fibers was grouped under FOG. ***Subjects had been immobilized for 6 months.
