Article Myonuclei acquired by overload exercise precede hypertrophy ...
In case of sarcoplasmatic hypertrophy, I have the following proposol.
In relation to hypertrophy, we speak about increase of muscle proteins [enlargement of their volume]. Muscle protein gets renewed by MPS and MP breakdone everyday. In the last case we dont speak about muscle hypertrophy in relation to MPS. There is a time factor.
In case of sarcoplasmatic hypertrophy, I came across the term "muscle swelling" (MS), and increase of intracellular water (ICW).
MS is linked sometimes to the muscle pump. However this is short term as the muscle pump can go away.
In case of ICW increase this can be seen as MS. I dont know if water gets inside a muscle cell because of simply training, but I think it is like that.
However, if water gets in through training it can get out also after (time aspect)
While in case of muscle hypertrophy we claim protein/amino acids should stay relatively long in the cell, i.e in myofibrils for instance, what can we claim about water?
If by training there is more glycogen in the muscle cell, can this be seen as a certain "long(er) term" adaptation? Would ICW increase in this case not be seen as sarcoplasmatic hypertrophy? Or can glycogen be broken off that easily and quick it can not be accounted for as long(er) term adaptations?
Another aspect. Training increases myonuclei. So more nuclei means more potential for volume increase (volume/nuclei ratio) So more nuclei could lead to more "long(er) term" volume in muscle cell. I assume nuclei don't get broken down that easily.
Can we connected a more long term increase of volume with sarcoplasmatic hypertrophy?
