Exercise Physiology | Muscle Fiber Type Transitions

The video discusses muscle fiber type transitions in response to chronic exercise. It explains the different types of muscle fibers, including Type 1, Type 2A, Type 2B, and others, and how they can transition from one type to another. The video highlights the genetic and electrical stimulation factors that influence these transitions, emphasizing the difficulty of converting Type 2A to Type 1 fibers due to genetic differences. It also notes that while fast fibers can convert to slow fibers through chronic aerobic exercise, the reverse is not typically possible without pharmacological intervention.
