Document Summary
Their diet is the most crucial aspect of their training. Have to get rid of as much adipose tissue and subcutaneous fat to see the muscle. Have to also deplete glycogen stores from the muscle to look more defined. Glycogen is stored with water in muscle cell, send to make them look softer and rounder muscle capillary: Take sections of the muscle and stain them in different ways, can find out a lot about it. The black dots surrounding the muscle are capillaries. Slow twice has aerobic capacity so high blood flow- would expect slow twitch fibres to have high capillary to fibre density than fast twitch fibres where blood flow isn"t as important. Can stain muscle for myosin atpase- critical enzyme required for atp breakdown (hydrolysis) Can look at slow or fast twitch then can match up the fibres to their blood flow muscle size and power: Strength is related to muscle size and cross sectional area.
