    of exercise Hypertrophy- muscles can increase in size (growth) with an increase in activity Muscles fibre arrangement Fusiform muscles Fusiform muscles run the length of the muscle belly. They are designed for mobility because they produce contractions over a large range‚ yet they produce low force (eg. Sartorius and biceps) Pennate muscles Pennate muscles run at angles to the tendons. These muscles are designed for strength and power. Unipennate muscles- found on one side of a central

    designed to build strength as follows:- a) Active Exercises - This is where there is a voluntary effort by an individual to construct the muscles. Active exercises may be isotonic or isometric. With the former‚ the muscle fibres shorten and cause movement at a joint‚ thus enabling a part of the body to be moved. In isometric exercises‚ the movement does not occur because the muscle tension is increased but the fibres don’t shorten. b) Passive Exercises - These are carried out by the individual
