physiological adaptations

• muscle hypertrophy

  Larger muscles - more muscle fibers - larger contractions
• muscle hyperplasia

  Increased recruitment of muscle fibers - bigger fibers - more muscle fibers - greater contraction
• fast twitch muscle size

  Greater fast twitch muscle size - force of contraction is greater - bigger muscles
• strength/power

  Muscular strength and power increases
• protein synthesis

  Enhanced - body able to synthesize proteins better

  Synthesis repairs muscles
• strength of connective tissue

  Connection strengthened - minimize risk of injury -less elasticity - less flex between muscle and bone
