How Strength and Muscles Are Gained
Strength is the result of structural and neurological adaptations, including muscle fiber growth, tendon stiffness, increased electrical signal frequency, motor unit recruitment, and improved efficiency and coordination. Hypertrophy, the increase in muscle size, predominantly occurs through an increase in muscle fiber size rather than hyperplasia. Mechanical tension, generated by resistance training, is essential for muscle growth.
