How does exercise increase myoglobin stores?
Myoglobin is a protein within the muscle tissue which acts as an oxygen carrier. As a long term effect of exercise. The ability of the muscles to store myoglobin is increased. Because muscles increase their oxidative capacity through regular exercise, the myoglobin stores also increase because they get used to the demands of exercise and work placed upon them so increase stores as they will be needed. The increase in oxidative capacity is achieved by an increase in the number of mitochondria within the muscle cells, an increase in the supply of ATP and an increase in the quantity of enzymes involved in respiration.

Why do bone have increased calcium and phosphate levels due to exercise?
This is a good question! The calcium and phosphate level increase due to exercise. This is physiological response to stress of exercise. Your bones and muscles develop due to exercise. The bones becomes stronger and stronger as you give more and more stress to them. The stress lines also change as per requirement of the stress. Your bones get weak, when you put a plaster for fracture. This happens due to disuse of the bones.
