A Basic Study on the Skeletal Muscle from the Standpoint of Sports Aptitude* Estimation of Muscle Fiber Composition Using Performance Test in Untrained Men
【Supercategory：7. DESCENTE SPORTS SCIENCE Subcategory：7.8 Vol.8】
This study was undertaken to investigate whether or not fiber composition (% area FT) of M. vastus lateralis from untrained men could be estimated from the results of performance test, in which they performed a 50m dash and a 12 min running. As a result, there was a significant positive correlation between % area FT in the M. vastus lateralis and 50m dash velocity/12min running mean velocity ratio (r=0.763, p<0.05).
Thus, it appears that there is a good possibility of predicting muscle fiber composition in untrained men from the results of performance test used in this study.
