Question
Does physical exercise to increase muscle mass involve anabolic and/or catabolic processes?Give evidence for your answer
Step 1
Anabolic processes are those that involve the building up of complex molecules from simpler ones, often requiring energy. This is the process that is responsible for muscle growth and repair. On the other hand, catabolic processes involve the breaking down of Show more…
