Exercise per se doesn’t increase strength or endurance. What exercise does is activate the compensatory pathways that during rest restore the muscle function plus a little more. The degree of activation of those pathways determines how much â??gainâ? you have. Pain triggers gain, but there are other things that are more effective (nitric oxide for example).
