Abstrakt		Skeletal muscle is composed of muscle fibres of several types which are responsible for muscle contraction. The ratio among different fibre types determines the speed of contraction. Capillary network supplies muscle fibres with nutrients and oxygen: The more energy muscle fibres can take from oxygenation the more fatigue resistant they are. Different types of training transform fast contracting muscle fibres into slower contracting fatigue resistant fibres or else slow contracting fatigue resistant fibres into faster contracting fast fatigable fibres. Intensive training or different diseases can result in musc.le injury and degeneration. However, skeletal muscle is a very plastic structure with a great regenerative potential, Satellite cells are the only cells in skeletal muscle that can multiply and provide new muscle fibres, therefore they are essential for muscle regeneration and repair. In the present contribution a review on application of stereological methods in studying muscle plasticity will be given.
