What is the three biological factors that can influence muscle hypertrophy?
Three biological factors that influence muscle hypertrophy are age, nutrition and an adequate supply of amino acids. Up until cessation of growth, increased rate of preexisting cells enlarging occurs naturally. Increased muscle protein synthesis stimulates an increase in individual fiber size, so a diet with an adequate intake of foods that have protein is essential. An adequate supply of amino acids is important for muscle protein synthesis. Also, strength training and anaerobic exercises increases muscle hypertrophy.
What is an increase in the diameter of muscle fibers owing to the production of more myofibrils mitochondria sarcoplasmic reticulum and so forth?
Muscular Hypertrophy is the increase in muscle size due to increased number of myofibrils et al. Each muscle fiber (myocyte syncytium) consists of a cell membrane (sarcolemma) containing myofilaments actin and myosin arranged in end to end segments called sarcomeres. Muscle fibers are produced by fusion of multiple myoblasts during development, with the end result being a multinucleated syncytial cell which begins to produce myofilaments. Muscle growth occurs by production of additional myofilaments within each muscle fiber, the process called cellular hypertrophy. This results in enlargement of the whole muscle, also called hypertrophy. The number of myocytes remains the same. Existing myocytes can be repaired during regeneration following a severe injury. Satellite cells immediately adjacent to each muscle fiber proliferate and grow, fusing to eachother and existing damaged myofibers. Severe damage also results in fibrosis, or replacement of myofibers with stiff connective tissue, and results in impaired movement. In any case the number of muscle fibers remains the same.
What are all muscle cells called?
A single muscle cell is called a muscle fiber.
How does weight training increase muscle fiber size by increasing the number of myofibrils?
Weight training causes muscular hypertrophy, which is broken down into two types. Myofibrillar hypertrophy causes an increase in size of muscle fibers, which are made of myofibrils. Myofibrils are incapable of mitotic reproduction, so you cannot create new ones. Instead, satellite cells that are localized in the sarcolemma underneath the basal lamina are recruited into becoming new myofibrils when needed.
What types of training elicits the GREATEST increase in the size and number of mitochondria in a skeletal muscle fiber?
circuit resistance training
What is the Smaller fiber in a muscle fiber?
Myofibril
