48) Muscle Hypertrophy
Muscle hypertrophy happens when muscle cells grow larger because their volume increases. This growth improves the muscle’s ability to contract and activate more muscle fibers, enhancing strength and endurance. Key factors influencing muscle hypertrophy include resistance training and proper nutrition.
Good nutrition helps muscle growth by boosting muscle protein synthesis and reducing muscle protein breakdown. High-intensity workouts also aid in muscle growth by increasing the number of myofibrils and mitochondria in muscle cells.
While some supplements may help with muscle hypertrophy, their effectiveness is not well-established and needs more research before they can be recommended.
