Theories of muscle adaptation

Muscle adaptation theories explain how muscles change in response to exercise. When you work out, muscles experience stress that causes tiny tears in their fibers. In response, your body repairs these fibers, making them stronger and sometimes larger, a process driven by increased protein production and cell growth. This adaptation improves strength, endurance, and overall performance. Different theories focus on how muscles sense this stress, how they repair, and how they grow stronger over time. Overall, consistent training prompts muscles to adapt, becoming more capable of handling future demands more efficiently.
