This article has been in my personal library for a long time now it seems. I like it very much and its very detailed.

Is there a way to open it in a pdf-reader instead of this flash-app? I would like to be able to save this (and others) article.

That should take you to the article with viewing options on the right. Pick your poison and print

Working my way through the article, it is definitely in the “hard” category.
Page # 7:
Indeed, Almeida-Silveira and associates found both decreased slow twitch fibre percentage and decreased H-reflex amplitude as a result of a plyometric training intervention.
I have not had time to track down and read the supporting articles BUT the implication is that some of the slow twitch fibres have changed (just applying logic since if the percentage decreases and they do not disappear, they must be changed to something else).
Is this an accurate assessment of the statement on my part? And if so, is this one of those times when there is conflicting information…I have/had been taught that is was not possible to substantially change the percentages of slow and fast twitch fibres a person has; not that the cross sectional areas of the fibres can not be changed but that, as the quote implies, the percentages remain more or less fixed.

Thanks for the references, it will take me a bit to get through all.
On the face of it… it is not that I do not think/believe, it is that I have had this happen to me before where I do not have the expertise/background to knowledgeably challenge what is being taught in a formal setting, sometimes it is an issue of clarity BUT sometimes it is just wrong (as it turns out, often a result of changing ideas or further information over the course of time; some of those studies with “needs further study” statements from the 80s have been greatly undermined).

The current state of research shows some changes in muscle fiber type but large changes in muscle fiber behavior due to the interaction of the neuromuscular unit.
