Question - what are the adaptations you would expect to see in an there following a strength training programme?
(Adaptations to strength training)
Look in PE book

Mechanical tension
Metabolic stress
Muscle damage
Mechanical tension in terms of causing training adaptations:
What is it?

Referee to the loading of muscle and is proposed to disrupt skeletal muscle structures -> compromising the integrity of individual muscle fibres -> leading to cellular responses
