Question

Which of the following is not a short-term effect of exercise on muscular system?

Options

• Accumulation of lactate

• Increased blood supply

• Muscular hypertrophy

• Increased muscle temperature

Answer 1

Muscular hypertrophy

Explanation:

Accumulation of lactate, increased blood supply and increased muscle temperature all occur immediately or soon after exercise, so they are short-term effects. Muscular hypertrophy (increase in muscle size) develops only after long-term, repeated training, so it is not a short-term effect.
