Muscle biopsies were obtained from the vastus lateralis muscle of 5 female collegiate field hockey players and 5 untrained female students. The fibers were classified histochemically as fast-twitch-oxidative-glycolytic (FOG), fast-twitch-glycolytic (FG) and slow-twitch-oxidative (SO). The fibers were found to be similar to those of males in distribution and histochemical properties, but were smaller. In the women athletes all 3 fiber types were larger than the respective fibers in the controls. Also, the athletes had a much higher percentage of oxidative fibers (SO + FOG), 83% vs. 46%. A direct relationship between fiber size and oxidative activity was observed in fast-twitch fibers, whereas the reverse was found in slow-twitch fibers.
从5名大学女子曲棍球运动员和5名未受过训练的女学生的股外侧肌获取肌肉活检样本。通过组织化学方法将纤维分为快肌-氧化-糖酵解型（FOG）、快肌-糖酵解型（FG）和慢肌-氧化型（SO）。发现这些纤维在分布和组织化学特性上与男性的纤维相似，但尺寸较小。在女运动员中，所有三种纤维类型都比对照组中相应的纤维更大。此外，运动员的氧化型纤维（SO + FOG）百分比要高得多，分别为83%和46%。在快肌纤维中观察到纤维大小与氧化活性之间存在直接关系，而在慢肌纤维中则发现相反的情况。
