How Endurance Training Affects Muscle Fibers
35:42 - 41:17 (05:35)
Endurance training can increase contractility in muscle fibers, leading to improvements in force and velocity production. Slow twitch fibers can also increase in size with consistent endurance training, sometimes even surpassing the size of fast twitch fibers.
Clips
Endurance training can lead to slow twitch fibers becoming equal in size or even larger than fast twitch fibers.

Endurance training
Summary
Endurance training can lead to slow twitch fibers becoming equal in size or even larger than fast twitch fibers. Muscle fibers can also improve contractility, regardless of size changes, and it is possible to change from slow twitch to fast twitch fibers.
