When a person is unable to touch her toes due to not being stretchy enough,
and then works at stretching exercises over time until she is able to touch
her toes, what is occurring at the cellular level?  Also, what about muscle
growth as a result of increased physical activity?   I remember being told
in physiology that bonds between the muscle fibers had to "break" and
re-form in both these instances.
