When a muscle grows in size what name do we give to the muscle growth?
When muscles grow in size we call this hypertrophy.The word hypertrophy actually refers to an increase in the size of an organ due to an increase in the size of the cells, rather than to an increase in the number of cells. Other body tissues can actually undergo hypertrophy, such as the heart or kidneys (this is usually a bad thing). To differentiate, we usually refer to muscle growth as muscle hypertrophy, but the term is so often applied to muscle building that this is usually not necessary in lay discussions.Increases in size due to an increase in the number of cells (cell proliferation, by the way, is called hyperplasia.

What is the medical term meaning an increase in muscle size?
Hypertrophy is the increase in muscle size. Transient hypertrophy occurs when fluid accumulation (edema) increases in specific muscles during exercise. It is often called "the pump" because after exercise, blood rushes to the muscles, instantly making them appear larger in size. Chronic hypertrophy occurs when long term resistance training results in the increase of muscle size. The duration for which the increased muscle size remains is dependent on the intensity and frequency of the workouts.
Is there a difference in the muscle size after a regular exercise and a strenuous exercise?
If you were talking about resistance training, the only measurable difference in size immediately after a strength training session would occur if you deliberately trained in such a way as to experience a "pump" in a muscle group. For a few minutes, that muscle group would be engorged with blood and might be slightly larger than normal. Of course, in the long term proper resistance training will increase your amount of lean muscle mass and that may (at least in men) increase the size of muscles.
What is strength training?
Resistance training, often known as strength training or weight training, involves applying resistance to muscular contraction to increase skeletal muscle size, anaerobic capacity, and strength.
Can you turn belly fat into muscle?

Why does an increase in the number of myofibrils increase muscle fiber size?
Research has found that the number of muscle fibers in the bundles that comprise each muscle group are set by genetics and cannot be increased. What can be increased is the size of the cells in these fibers, which is the goal of strength training.
