Responses of contractile profiles of slow soleus muscle fibers to 2 and 4 months of bedrest and 1 month of ambulation recovery in male subjects. A Fiber diameter. B Absolute Ca2+-activated maximal force (P o). C Relative Ca2+-activated maximal force (F max) per cross-sectional area. D Unloaded shortening velocity (V o). Mean ± SEM. FL, fiber length. * and †: p < 0.05 vs. pre-bedrest and 4 months of bedrest, respectively. Number of fibers: 25 per group. Cited from [60]
