A comparison of pain responses, hemodynamic reactivity and fibre type composition between Bergström and microbiopsy skeletal muscle biopsies

This study tested the hypotheses that 1) skeletal muscle biopsies performed with the Bergström needle evoke larger perceptions of pain and greater hemodynamic reactivity compared to biopsies performed with the microbiopsy needle, and 2) both needles yield samples with similar fibre type compositions...
