Patients had fewer slow-twitch fibers, which are essential for endurance, and more fast-twitch fibers, which tire quickly, the researchers wrote. Researchers also saw issues when it came to energy production. Their muscles function differently, and this must be taken into account during treatment and rehabilitation. There also appeared to be a change in the muscle fibers. All groups were lacking in energy and were able to produce less effort.
