Question

Romeo, a local lawyer, has recently found the love of his life. Romeo is in love with a woman by the name of Caitlyn and to impress her, he decides to workout (weight lifting ONLY) at a local gym 3 times a week. After three months, Romeo notices his arm and chest musles are a lot bigger. Besides the fact that Romeo has been dabbling with illegal drugs (anabolic steroids to yield 'better results'), he asks you, his nurse, the following questions:

Part 1: "I can see my muscles are larger, is this because I made new muscle cells or..." (EXPLAIN the structural changes that occurred to increase Romeo's muscles' size.) (2.5 points)

Part 2: "I thought that after going to the gym I would be able to run longer without getting tired. I am actually MORE tired when I go for a run than before... am I doing the right TYPE of exercises?" In your answer be sure to explain, to Romeo, the DIFFERENCES between ENDURANCE and RESISTANCE exercises, being sure to explain how HIS exercise routine is affecting muscle types (white vs red fibers and their functional differences). (2.5 points)

Explanation / Answer

(part1) muscle hypertrophy occurs in Romeo's body it involves increase in size of skeletal muscles it is of two types sarcoplasmic and myofibrillar hypertrophy,additional contractile proteins appears.

(part 2) yes you arre doing right type of exercises on regular workout our muscles become more efficient to do more work skeletal muscles grown.

DIFFERENCES between ENDURANCE and RESISTANCE exercises

both types of training have their benefits as resistance training increase muscle strengh whereas endurance training works on cardiovascular strength and is the most effective way of burning calories fast.

resistance training is of three types as isotonic ,isometric and isokinetic and by endurance training our cardiovascular system improves

white fibres arre fast twich fibres they rapidly boosts in energy but fitigue early because of formation of lactic acid in them on the other hand red fibres have more blood vessels are delay in fatigue but they are slow twich fibres cyclists ,long runners depend mostly on them and short runners depend on white fibres.
