Sarcomerogenesis | Adding Sarcomeres in Parallel & Series

The video tutorial explains sarcomere genesis, focusing on the synthesis of new sarcomeres in skeletal and cardiac muscles. It details two mechanisms: sarcomeres in parallel, which increase force output, and sarcomeres in series, which enhance contraction velocity and shortening capacity. The tutorial also discusses practical applications, such as resistance training and muscle immobilization, and introduces the concept of hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, a heart pathology related to sarcomere arrangement.
