Muscle fiber transformation

Muscle fiber transformation refers to the change in the type of muscle fibers in response to training and activity. There are different fiber types: slow-twitch fibers suited for endurance and fast-twitch fibers for quick, powerful movements. With regular endurance exercise, some fast-twitch fibers can become more like slow-twitch fibers, improving stamina. Conversely, strength training can convert some slow-twitch fibers into faster, more powerful types. This adaptability helps muscles optimize performance based on the demands placed on them, reflecting the body's ability to customize muscle function through specific training stimuli.
