-
mechanical tension, muscle damage and metabolic stress are the three primary factors that promote hypertrophy from exercise
-
The mechanical tension is directly related to intensity of the exercise, which is the key to stimulating muscle growth
-
Muscle damage, that leads to muscle soreness, from exercise training initiates an inflammatory response, which activates satellite cells growth processes

-
metabolic stress that is a result of the byproducts of anaerobic metabolism (i.e., hydrogen ions, lactate, inorganic phosphates) is now also believed to promote hormonal factors leading to muscle hypertrophy
-
weightlifters and powerlifters show more favorable hypertrophy of type II (fast twitch) muscle fibers
-
body builders appear to have comparable hypertrophy in both the type I (slow twitch) and type II muscle fibers
-
Multi-joint exercises have been shown to produce larger increases of anabolic hormones than single-joint exercises
