When used actively or strenuously, muscle increases in size and strength and becomes more fatigue-resistant and efficient due to:

1. increased number of capillaries supplying the muscle fibers


2. Increased number of mitochondria within the muscle fibers


3. Increased myoglobin's to increase oxygen binding


Aerobic metabolism

used to generate ATP; takes place in mitochondria and requires oxygen and glucose

Anerobic glycolysis

the length of time muscle contraction can continue to be supported mitochonddrial activity;marathons or long distance swimming

For a muscle to return to resting state:

Oxygen reserves must be replinished; accumulated lactic acid must be converted to pyruvic acid; glycogen stores must be replaced; ATP and creatin phosphate stores must be resynthesized; the liver converts lactic acid in blood to glucose or glycogen
