In the above paper, the respiratory muscle biopsies were taken on the ribs, rather then between the ribs, to prevent pneumothorax. By doing this the authors actually sampled seratus anterior muscle and not intercostal muscle, as stated in the paper. In their eyes this does not change the conclusion of the paper as both the intercostal and seratus anterior muscles are involved in respiration and the aim was to study a respiratory muscle in addition to leg muscle.
