Inducing hypertrophic effects of type I skeletal muscle fibers: a new hypothetical paradigm in resistance training aimed at muscular hypertrophy

An emerging body of evidence is starting to suggest that the hypertrophy of skeletal muscle fibers might be load specific. In other words, it may be that resistance training with high loads (i.e., ≥60% of 1 repetition maximum [RM]) emphasizes a greater growth of type II muscle fibers, while resistance training with low loads (i.e.,
