Although a slight trend of atrophy and myosin loss being more prominent in slow‐ than fast‐twitch muscles and interpreted to be secondary to a faster protein turnover rate in slow‐ than fast‐twitch muscles. 9 However, the mechanisms underlying the impaired force generation capacity (specific force) at the single muscle fibre level differ between limb and diaphragm muscles, although the molecular motor protein myosin plays a critical role in both limb and respiratory muscles.
