adaptations to muscular system
hypertrophy
increase muscle size and strength
muscles overloaded during resistance training
increase in protein in muscle cells
contract with greater force
increased tendon strength
tough bands of fibrous connective tissue
designed to withstand tension
overloading will increase flexibility and strength
cartliage becomes thicker
increase in number and size of mitochondria
within muscle fibres are small structures called mitochondria
muscle fibres increase in size with exercise
increase muscle fibre size will mean more and larger room for mitochondria
myoglobin
type of haemoglobin found exclusively in muscles
increase in storage of glycogen
train at higher intensity due to having more glycogen which can give energy to the muscles therefore reducing fatigue
increase in storage of fat
breaking down into fatty acids and using them for energy using oxygen
increased tolerance to lactic acid
able to clear lactic acid more efficiently
greater volumes of blood to supply muscles with oxygen
