My Suggestions for the definition of: Muscle hypertrophy

The first edit I would make would be changing the word “muscle” in the first sentence, “Muscle hypertrophy is an increase in the size of a muscle…” to “Muscle hypertrophy is an increase in the size of a skeletal muscle” because I do feel the definition is focused on skeletal muscle, rather than cardiac or smooth muscle. The next change that I made was eliminating the second sentence, “It differs from muscle hyperplasia, which is the formation of new muscle cells”. This sentence failed to contribute to the definition of muscle hypertrophy, therefore, should not even be in the description. I also believe the last sentence of the definition, “Depending on the type of training, the hypertrophy can occur through increased sarcoplasmic volume or increased contractile proteins”, could be written more efficiently and give more information vital to the definition. I would delete that sentence and instead replace it with, “Each of these specific types of muscle hypertrophy will result in increasing size of cells, but not of equal effect. Sarcoplasmic hypertrophy is focused on increasing the actual size of the muscle, and less on increasing strength. Myofibril hypertrophy will focus more on strength increase and less on an increase in the size of the skeletal muscle. Muscle Hypertrophy is not achieved within minutes or days, but instead it takes months and months of consistent training and proper nutrition to see visual effects on body composition”.
