Does anybody know the differences of expression of muscular myoglobin between an apnea trained person and a non-trained one. I am also interested by the myoglobin levels of athletes trained to anaeroby like sprinters or to aeroby like long-distance runners, swimmers or cyclists.
I already know that a common person has around 5 mg of myoglobin per kg of fresh skelettal muscle. I have just been reading that seals have about 20 mg/kg and whales 70-100 mg/kg. Are there also great differences between different muscle groups and the type of muscles fibres (I, IIa, IIb, IIc and lately IIx)?
Thanks
