Journal Article
MAEO, S., BALSHAW, T. G., MÄRZ, B., ZHOU, Z., HAUG, B., MARTIN, N. R. W., …FOLLAND, J. P. (2024). Long-Term Resistance Trained Human Muscles Have More Fibers, More Myofibrils, and Tighter Myofilament Packing Than Untrained.

Increases in skeletal muscle size occur in response to prolonged exposure to resistance training that is typically ascribed to increased muscle fiber size. Whether muscle fiber number also changes remains controversial, and a paucity o...
