Muscle strength depends on the thickness of the fibers and the number of fibers contract at one time. And in order to compensate for the added work load,myofibrils are added in in order to increase the thickness of the fibers (more myofibrils,more thickness), hence a stronger muscle.

Which of these increase muscle strength?
Muscle strength is most often increased through repeated use of the muscle or exercise. Muscle strength can also be increased with a combination of exercise and diet that includes protein.
What is physical exercise?
Its exercise that involves moving your body to build muscle strength.
How does exercise change muscle strength?
It allows your muscles to work there for allowing more blood and oxygen to help them get less fatigued
Will increasing the intensity of an exercise will increase the strength of a muscle?
True.
What the type of exercise for muscle strength?
By using your muscle you are strengthening them so all you have to do is use them to increase the strength of the muscles increase the load.
What type of strength development exercise are you performing if the length of your muscle does NOT change?
The type of exercises that does not lengthen the muscle is called isometrics. The strengthening of the muscles is from utilizing range of motion movements.
For muscle strength what does exercise time equate to?
The number of repetitions performed
Which type of strength training uses machines to increase muscle strength and endurance?
Types of Strength Training Exercises Static (isometric) exercise = muscle contraction without a change in the length of the muscle Dynamic (isotonic) exercise = muscle contraction with a change in the length of the muscle Concentric contraction = muscle applies force as it shortens Eccentric contraction = muscle applies force as it lengthens Types of Dynamic Exercise Constant resistance = constant load throughout a joint's range of motion Variable resistance = changing load to provide maximal resistance throughout a joint's range of motion Eccentric loading = placing load on a muscle as it lengthens Plyometrics = sudden eccentric loading and stretching followed by a concentric contraction Speed loading = moving a load as rapidly as possible Isokinetic exercise = exerting force at a constant speed against an equal force
What an ordinary man must do to build muscle and strength?
Eat well and exercise.
Which kinds of exercise is often used as therapy to rebuild muscle strength after an injury?
Hydrotherapy is a great form of exercise to help rebuild muscle strength. The water supports the body - while allowing freedom of movement.
