Muscle type conversion

[Julian]

So for the aspie scientists here,

I know fast twitch 2a and 2b can shift. But is it possible to turn slow twitch fibers into fast twitch? Or to change the ratio by getting more fast twitch fibers in some way? I was thinking of hyperplasia where muscle cells split. Lets say you got 10 slow twitch and 10 fast twitch fibers and the fast ones split. The ratio changed and you got more fast twitch fibers.

Apart from clenbuterol which does this to some extent I think, do you guys think this is possible?

The clen study:

Chronic clenbuterol treatment compromises force production without directly altering skeletal muscle contractile machinery

Clenbuterol is a β[2] -adrenergic receptor agonist known to induce skeletal muscle hypertrophy and a slow-to-fast phenotypic shift. The aim of the present study was to test the effects of chronic clenbuterol treatment on contractile efficiency ...

I read a study where scientists said there are hybrids which can become both. Also that around 10% can be converted into the other one. But there must be a way to speed this up
