Question

Jody does long distance running and also strength trains twice a week.

Answer 1

Answer:

Jody will have strong bones and show muscle hypertrophy.

Explanation:

Long distance running practiced regularly helps in increasing the strength of bones. Muscular hypertrophy is the increase in mass of skeletal muscles due to the increase in the size of myofibrils or increase in muscle glycogen storage. Strength training exercises performed regularly induce muscular hypertrophy.

During strength training exercises muscles undergo contraction and repeated contraction breaks muscle fibres. New muscle fibres are added as a means of repair and this happens at the relaxing phase of muscles. More muscle fibres are added to compensate the damage and thus muscle mass increases.
