Increased thickness of muscle fibres
Increased strength of contraction and potential neuron size
increased glycogen stores
increase in myglobin
more capillaries
increased tendon strength
Repeated bouts without rest can cause over use injuries
Possible injuries can occur, commonly in the tibialis anterior
tendonitis
Increased blood flow
Muscles heat up, allowing more flexibility and can apply more force over a long joint range
increased chance of muscle soreness
depleted myoglobin levels and energy stores
lactic acid build up
increased blood flow/O2
increased muscle temperature
increased speed and force of contraction
remove lactic acid
prevents blood pooling
restores O2 levels stored in myoglobin
