Question

Muscles grow stronger following exercise by breaking down and rebuilding

Question 3 options:
True
False

Answer 1

True. Muscles grow stronger following exercise through a process of breaking down and rebuilding. When you perform resistance training or other forms of exercise, tiny tears occur in the muscle fibers. During the recovery period, the body repairs these tears, and the muscle fibers become thicker and stronger in response to the stress. This process is known as muscle hypertrophy.
