"If you know the fiber type composition of your athlete, you
already know how to manipulate your training variables." Muscle
fiber types are frequently discussed in various field of exercise
sience. Their typology seems to influence performance, training
and pacing in athletes. But... - What kind of muscle fibers do we
have? - How are fiber types related to exercise performance? -
How can fiber types be determined? AND - (How) Can I change my
fiber typology? I discussed these interesting questions with
Freek Van de Casteele from Ghent University. Freek is currently
finishing his PhD on muscle fiber typology and examined
non-invasive methods to determine muscle fiber composition. We
talked about the basics as well as the latest research on how
myotypes are related to performance. Do you have questions,
comments or feedback for upcoming episodes? - Just send me a
