Andreo Fernando Aguiarsignificant (p < 0.05) increase of 29 and 35% in plantaris muscle fibers CSA of thegroups T8 and T12, compared with their respective controls. In addition, no statisticaldifference (p > 0.05) was observed between C8 and C12 groups (Fig. 6E). Despite thecontinuance of training promoted a higher increase in muscle fiber CSA in T12comparing to T8 group, the values did not differ statistically (p > 0.05) with each other(Fig. 6E). Consistent with the muscle fiber CSA values, the plantaris muscle weight andmuscle weight/body weight ratio were statistically (p < 0.05) higher in T8 and T12,compared to C8 and C12 groups, respectively. However, T8 and T12 groups did notdiffer significantly (p > 0.05) with each other (data not shown).56
