Hypertrophy: Mechanisms, Hormones, Genetic Factors

27/01/2026 By Joonas Kivimäki

Hypertrophy refers to the growth and strengthening of muscle tissue, and its mechanisms are related to cellular processes, protein synthesis, and the recruitment of muscle fibers. Important hormones such as testosterone, growth hormone, and insulin-like growth factor regulate muscle growth in various ways. Additionally, genetic factors significantly influence an individual’s ability to achieve muscle growth, […]

Muscle Tissue Damage: Repair Mechanisms and Adaptation

27/01/2026 By Joonas Kivimäki

Muscle tissue injuries are diverse and can result from various causes, such as strains or traumatic injuries. After an injury, the body activates repair mechanisms that include inflammation, regeneration, and protein synthesis, thereby promoting the recovery and strengthening of muscle tissue. Recovery is also influenced by nutrition, training intensity, and individual needs, making understanding these […]
