The degree of capillarization in muscle is associated with the change in type II fiber CSA following resistance training.

Improving muscle capillarization may enhance the effectiveness of resistance training.

StrongSupportsmedium confidence
A significant relationship was observed between type II fiber capillarization and the change in type II-fiber CSA with RT (r = 0.35).
