The process of conversion of fast-contracting muscle fibers to a slower character. This may involve slowing of contractile rate, slow myosin gene induction, increase in oxidative metabolic properties, altered electrophysiology and altered innervation. This process also regulates skeletal muscle adapatation. (Gene Ontology, GO_0014883)
1 genes participating in the transition between fast and slow fiber biological process from the curated GO Biological Process Annotations 2025 dataset.
