26. Muscle Hypertrophy
An expansion of the muscle cells causes them to become bigger, which is referred to as muscle hypertrophy. This augments the capacity of the muscle to contract and boosts the number of muscle fibers activated, thus improving power and endurance. Various factors are responsible for this growth, such as exercising with resistance and supplying the right kind of sustenance.
This works by increasing muscle protein synthesis and reducing muscle protein degradation. Also, strenuous workouts aid in muscle hypertrophy by enhancing the number of myofibrils and mitochondria in the muscle cells. While some dietary supplements might be beneficial for muscle hypertrophy, there is insufficient evidence to confirm this, so further research needs to be done before any suggestions can be given.
