Type II and Type IIB fibers are more than just "easily fatigued" muscle fibers - they're responsible for a HUGE portion of the strength and hypertrophy humans can generate.

This is a big advancement for those who want to look and perform like emaciated marathoners.

I get the feeling that people think this will allow them to drink beer, eat chips, and sit around while still having muscle . . .

A type switch is not growth nor is it tone, it's just that - a type switch. This sort of therapy, if it ever makes it to humans, will only be of benefit to those trying to recover from severe atrophy of the muscles assicated with lots of "bed time". It will allow them to be in a therapy session longer and while shortening the total time spent in therapy (ie. knock off a month or week, from what it was before)
