MUSCLE PHYSIOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -Muscle hypertrophy occurs when muscle protein synthesis exceeds muscle protein breakdown and results in positive net protein balance in cumulative periods [7]. This could be achieved with both RT and protein ingestion, which stimulates muscle protein synthesis and leads to decreases in muscle protein breakdown [8].

Detailed explanation-2: -Resistance exercise induces hypertrophy through a mechanism that is, at least in part, dependent on an increase in the rate of protein synthesis.

Detailed explanation-3: -While aerobic workouts produce more slow twitch muscle fibers for better endurance, anaerobic exercise increases the size and quantity of powerful fast twitch fibers. This shift improves the power and strength of muscles and also increases hypertrophy, or size.
