    Long-term effects of previous training on the muscle fibers themselves, however, have recently also been observed related to strength training. [ 3 ] Until recently it was generally assumed that the effects of exercise on muscle was reversible, and that after a long period of de-training the muscle fibers returned to their previous state.

    Thus, because anandamide is a euphoriant and aerobic exercise is associated with euphoric effects, it has been proposed that anandamide partly mediates the short-term mood-lifting effects of exercise (e.g., the euphoria of a runner's high) via exercise-induced increases in its synthesis. [64] [77]

    [7] [8] [9] Long-term adaptations to resistance training, the most common form of anaerobic exercise, include muscular hypertrophy, [10] [11] an increase in the physiological cross-sectional area (PCSA) of muscle(s), and an increase in neural drive, [12] [13] both of which lead to increased muscular strength. [14]

    Exercise may also reduce insomnia by decreasing arousal, anxiety, and depressive symptoms. Insomnia is commonly linked with elevated arousal, anxiety, and depression, and exercise has effects on reducing these symptoms in the general population. [28] These issues count among the most common among most of the population.

    The effect of training on the body has been defined as the reaction to the adaptive responses of the body arising from exercise [3] or as "an elevation of metabolism produced by exercise". [4] Exercise physiologists study the effect of exercise on pathology, and the mechanisms by which exercise can reduce or reverse disease progression.

    The effects of warming up on exercise effectiveness are clearer. For 1RM trials, an exercise rehearsal has significant benefits. For submaximal strength training (3 sets of 80% of 1RM to failure), exercise rehearsal does not provide any benefits regarding fatigue or total repetitions for exercises such as bench press, squats, and arm curl ...

    [26] [27] It was discovered that the body functions induced by electrical stimulation caused long-term changes in the muscles. [28] [29] In the 1960s, Soviet sport scientists applied EMS in the training of elite athletes, claiming 40% force gains. [30] In the 1970s, these studies were shared during conferences with the Western sport establishments.
