Meta-analysis data of skeletal muscle slow fiber content across mammalian species.

ABSTRACT: Herein, the dataset generated for Queeno et al. [1] is presented and described. Mammalian skeletal muscle slow (MyHC-I) fiber composition data was collated from 269 eligible studies identified via a systematic literature search and meta-analysis, following a structure similar to PRISMA [2]. Academic search systems were queried with terms relating to mammalian skeletal muscle fiber content and reference lists of selected articles were thoroughly investigated for additional studies. Eligible studies were those that provided skeletal muscle fiber composition data from mammalian species that were not subjected to experimental manipulations. Taxonomic information, sex, age, number of individuals sampled, average body mass (kg), average slow fiber content (%) of each skeletal muscle under invest
