Abstract
Maximal isometric one-leg strength (MIS) was determined in 31 physical education students displaying a wide range in muscle fibre type distribution (21-79% fast twitch (FT) muscle fibres) in their vastus lateralis muscles. A linear positive correlation was found between MIS and the relative distribution of FT fibres (p less than 0.001). This should mean that not only muscle mass involved but also the quality of muscle will be decisive for the ability to develop high isometric strength.
