Skeletal muscles adapt to different forms of training. Resistance training promotes hypertrophy, increasing muscle fiber size and strength by adding contractile proteins. Endurance training increases mitochondria and the capillary network supplying muscle, improving its ability to use oxygen and resist fatigue. Training can also alter the metabolic and functional properties of muscle fibers.
