Noninvasive Monitoring of Training Induced Muscle Adaptation with -MRS: Fibre Type Shifts Correlate with Metabolic Changes
Figure 5
Scatter plots for percentage (%) type-II-fibres and [PCr]/[] (a), or [PCr]/[βATP], respectively, (c), as well as differences in percentage (delta %) type-II-fibres between the measurement points and differences in [PCr]/[] (delta[PCr]/]) (b), or [PCr]/[βATP] (delta[PCr]/[βATP]), respectively, (d). 38 of 44 (86.4%) evaluable pairs of 31P-MRS and biopsy data were available for the calculation of (a) and (c), 26 of 33 (78.8%) for (b) and (d) throughout the 4 measurement points. The relationship between the parameters and the strength of correlation is indicated by the line and by the correlation coefficient ().
