Yes. For one thing, increasing any kind of mass increases energy expenditure-- yup, it takes more calories for a 200 pound person to climb the stairs than for a 100 pound person. Additionally, muscle mass maintains tone, which is constantly using up calories, as if you were constantly half-flexing.

Increasing the muscle temperature can increase flexibility by how much?
30%
Will increasing the intensity of an exercise will increase the strength of a muscle?
True.
When energy reserves in a muscle are exhausted or lactic acid levels increase?
NO
When Ali is jogging why his heartbeat increase?
incrasing metabolism increasing pump cardiac muscle to pump the blood circulation
What step in ventilation requires muscle work?
The inhalation phase. During the inhalation phase, the diaphragm contracts and this requires energy expenditure. The exhalation phase, on the other hand, only involves passive muscle recoil of the diaphragm and does not require work or energy.
Why is it important that summation not occur in heart muscle?
Basic muscle summation -an increase in the frequency with which a muscle is stimulated increases the strength of contraction. With increased stimuli to the heart if summation occurred the contractions would keep increasing.
What happens when summation occurs in cardiac muscle?
Basic muscle summation -an increase in the frequency with which a muscle is stimulated increases the strength of contraction. With increased stimuli to the heart if summation occurred the contractions would keep increasing.
What are some ways to increase muscle growth?
Muscle growth can happen is you do muscle specific exercise which target many reps of the same exercise per muscle. You can also try increasing the amount of protein in your diet, either with diet or with protein powders.
How does the frequency of stimulation affect the amount of force generated by the muscle?
Increasing the stimulus to an isolated muscle increases the strength of a contraction. A muscle begins to contract when the stimulus is given; however, if the muscle does not finish contracting before the next stimulus hits, then the force of the contraction will increase to finish the contraction. This is known as wave summation.
How does weight training have an impact on caloric expenditure?
weight training does expend calories during the workout. fatigued muscles need to repair and that repair effort by the body increased metabolic activity for up to 36 hrs after the workout. In addition to that, increased lean muscle tissue (reduced body fat percentage) causes the resting metabolic rated of the body to increase 24/7. bottom line, increase and maintenance of lean muscle burns calories like crazy !!
What claims does this company make for creatine?
Creatine claims to give you more energy and muscle stamina. It also claims to increase your muscle mass. It also claims to minimize fatigue.
What factors increase metabolic rate?
Since muscle burns about 8 times more calories than fat, having more lean tissue, or muscle, can increase the basal metabolic rate. Another way of increasing your metabolic rate is by doing frequent exercise. As the body is going through the motions of exercise, the metabolic rate increases to supply energy to muscles through catabolism of sugars. pregnancy increases the BMR~ jmata
