Mechanism of muscle growth
Personal trainers and fitness professionals spend a lot of time reading articles and research on new workout programs and training ideas for developing muscles. Though, largely because of its physiological complexity, few fitness experts are as well informed in how muscles develop to the increasing overload loads of exercise. In fact, skeletal muscle is the most adaptable tissue in the human body and muscle hypertrophy is a vastly researched topic, yet still considered a fertile area of research. This column will provide a concise update on some of the intriguing cellular changes that strike leading to the growth of the muscle, referred to as the satellite cell theory of hypertrophy. Resistance training leads to damage of the proteins in the muscle. This prompts messages to trigger satellite cells to begin a force of events leading to the repair and growth of the muscles. Several growth causes are involved that adjust the mechanisms of change in the number of protein size within the muscle. The modification of muscle to the overload stress of resistance exercise starts right after each exercise, but often takes mush time for it to be physically noticeable. The most adaptable tissue in the human body is skeletal muscle, and it is amazingly modified after continuous, and wisely planned, resistance exercise training programs.
