 Increased ATP and increase in quantity of enzymes involved in respiration
storage of glycogen and triglycerides.
 Muscles increase ability to use triglycerides as an energy store.
 Neural structures and pathways show changes as result of long term exercise
training.
 Hypertrophy
 Increase in number of mitochondria
 Transient Hypertrophy- Due to increased blood flow to the muscles during
exercise

CONCLUSION
Increasing physical activity is a societal, not just an individual problem. Therefore it
demands a population-based, multi-sectoral, multi-disciplinary, and culturally relevant
approach. Physical inactivity (lack of physical activity) has been identified as the fourth
leading risk factor for global mortality (6% of deaths globally). Moreover, physical inactivity
is estimated to be the main cause for approximately 21–25% of breast and colon cancers,
27% of diabetes and approximately 30% of ischemic heart disease burden. While doing
physical activity enormous health benefits are occurring. The above neuromuscular
adaptations were takes place due to physical activity. These adaptations help to free from
disease and physically well being.
