Muscles can respond to different types of training, such as endurance versus resistance exercises. How do these forms of exercise affect muscle fiber types, and what structural or functional changes might you expect in muscles from each type of training?

If you decided to "bulk up" with a dedicated weight-lifting regimen, would the larger muscles you develop be due to growing more muscle cells or having the muscle cells you have grow larger? If your goal was to become an "endurance" athlete, what type of training should you select to increase performance? What kind of muscle fibers would be targeted to maximize performance, and why does the type of training you selected benefit those particular muscle fibers? If your goal was to become a "power" athlete, what type of training should you select to increase performance? What kind of muscle fibers would be targeted to maximize performance, and why does the type of training you selected benefit those particular muscle fibers? What is rigor mortis? Describe its cause at the molecular level, based on what you know about the process of muscle contraction and the information within the textbook.
