Abstract

The current interest in taking advantage of the variations in human performance has led us to seek the understanding of the physiological, biochemical and morphological adaptations of the involved tissues. The results obtained through experimental models provide information to better understand the muscular function, allowing the planning of an adequate training program in order to attain the intended objective, having the physiological adaptations as the basis. The sports performance depends on a large number of factors, such as the kind of muscle and the stimuli to which it is submitted and these factors are, undoubtedly, important parameters for the athletic performance. For each modality, the ideal situation is to have a predominant group of fibers that are adequate for the specific characteristics of the activity. Depending on the kind of stimulus, an increase in strength can be obtained, being this adaptation one of the most important factors for the maintenance of health and athletic performance.
