Increase in number and size of mitochondria
Change after strength training
Muscle fibers become bigger (hypertrophy)
Increase in mitochondria
Benefits
More mitochondria = more energy production
Increase in storage of glycogen
Benefits
Train at a higher intensity for longer
Change after strength training
Muscles can store more glycogen which produces more energy
Increased tendon strngth
changes after strength training
Tendons adapt to overloading of regular exercise
Increase in flexibility and strength
Cartilage becomes thicker
