What is the theory of muscle growth where muscle fibers are able to split and create new fibers?
The theory of muscle growth that involves the splitting of muscle fibers is known as myofibrillar hypertrophy or fiber hyperplasia. This concept suggests that under certain conditions, such as intense resistance training, existing muscle fibers can split to form new fibers, contributing to overall muscle growth. While hypertrophy primarily results from the increase in the size of existing fibers, there is some debate within the scientific community regarding the extent to which hyperplasia occurs in humans. Most evidence supports that muscle growth primarily occurs through the enlargement of existing fibers rather than the significant formation of new fibers.
What is the enlargement of muscle cells called?
Enlargement of muscle cells is called hypertrophy.
The enlargement of muscle fibers as a result of physical exercise is called?
Hypertrophy
A thickening of existing muscle fibers is called?
Muscle hypertrophy is the thickening or increase in the size of existing muscle fibers. This process occurs in response to resistance training or overload, leading to an increase in muscle strength and size.
What type of muscle fibers you need to develop for weight lifting competition?
Mary needs to develop her fast muscle fibers. In order to do this, she will need to have frequent, brief and intensive workouts. She also needs to create muscle hypertrophy which will create an enlargement of the stimulated muscle. She can gain this by repeated and exhaustive stimulation which will create more mitochondria.
What type of muscle fibers are there?
You have three types of muscle fibers. 1) Skeletal muscle fibers. 2) Cardiac muscle fibers. 3) Smooth muscle fibers.

What is the enlargement of individual muscle fivers through progressive weight training exercise is called?
Hypertrophy. BTW, it's spelt 'fibres' in English and 'fibers' in American English.
Mary wants to enter a weight lifting competition and consults you as to what type of muscle fibers she needs to develop and how she should go about it What would you suggest to her?
Mary needs to develop her fast muscle fibers. In order to do this, she will need to have frequent, brief and intensive workouts. She also needs to create muscle hypertrophy which will create an enlargement of the stimulated muscle. She can gain this by repeated and exhaustive stimulation which will create more mitochondria.
Smooth muscle fibers are the shortest of all muscle cell types?
No. Cardiac muscle fibers.
What is muscle fibers?
Your cardiac muscle is your heart and this is a muscle and it holds itself together with its fibers. Hope that answers it for you :)
