Effects of taper on endurance cycling capacity and single muscle fiber properties
Article Abstract:
The study examined the effects of tapering on the metabolic properties of different fiber types and the influence of different tapering regimens on these effects in a group of trained endurance cyclists. The findings in the study suggested that metabolic and contractile changes in single muscle fibers contribute to changes seen during improved endurance time and in whole muscle function.

Muscle adaptation with immobilization and rehabilitation after ankle fracture
Article Abstract:
3D-magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) was used in patients with surgically -stabilized ankle mortise fractures to quantify changes in plantraflexor and dorsiflexor muscle size during immobilization and rehabilitation. The consequences of limb immobilization on rehabilitation outcomes in patients can be applied directly to optimize rehabilitation programs.

Red blood cell-derived ATP as a regulator of skeletal muscle perfusion
Article Abstract:
The role of the mobile oxygen carrier, the red blood cell was investigated to explain the precision inherent in oxygen supply. It was reviewed that red blood cells does a better role by delivering oxygen as required by the tissue and controls its own distribution to meet the need appropriately.
