Card 6 / 18:
Does physical exercise to increase muscle mass involve anabolic and/or catabolic processes? Give evidence for your answer.
Physical exercise involves both anabolic and catabolic processes. Body cells break down sugars to provide ATP to do the work necessary for exercise, such as muscle contractions. This is catabolism. Muscle cells also must repair muscle tissue damaged by exercise by building new muscle. This is anabolism.
