[Ultrastructure of the skeletal muscle fibers of athletes with various specializations and qualifications]. 1985

V V Ivanitskaia, and Z I Sukhova, and Iu P Sergeev

An electron microscopic investigation of the skeletal muscle bioptates has been performed in 80 volunteer-sportsmen of different qualification specializing in race rowing and in skating. Common for all the sportsmen examined are those peculiarities in ultrastructural organization of the skeletal muscle fibers that demonstrate their adaptation to an increased muscle activity. Specificity of ultrastructural organization of the skeletal muscle fibers is revealed in connection with sportive specialization. Speed-force trainings in skater-sprinters produce hypertrophy of myofibrils; more often than other sportsmen they demonstrate dilatation of cisterns in the sarcoplasmic reticulum, appearance of granular inclusions in mitochondrial matrix. In skater-statyers sarcoplasm of muscle fibers sharply increases in volume. Sometimes, loading for endurance in skater-stayers produces rather essential disturbances in structure of muscle fibers up to their necrosis. In muscles of these sportsmen processes of "intracellular" regeneration are most distinctly observed.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D008297 Male Males
D008854 Microscopy, Electron Microscopy using an electron beam, instead of light, to visualize the sample, thereby allowing much greater magnification. The interactions of ELECTRONS with specimens are used to provide information about the fine structure of that specimen. In TRANSMISSION ELECTRON MICROSCOPY the reactions of the electrons that are transmitted through the specimen are imaged. In SCANNING ELECTRON MICROSCOPY an electron beam falls at a non-normal angle on the specimen and the image is derived from the reactions occurring above the plane of the specimen. Electron Microscopy
