The body adapts to different forms of exercise over time through a process known as muscle adaptation. When exposed to consistent training, the body responds by increasing efficiency and strength in specific muscles used during the activity. This includes hypertrophy or muscle growth, improved cardiovascular efficiency, and enhanced flexibility. Additionally, neurological adaptations occur, improving coordination and skill in the given exercise. This principle of adaptation emphasizes the importance of progressively challenging the body through varying intensities and modalities to continue seeing improvements in fitness performance.
