Answer 1

1)Learning(muscle memory) affects strength measurements very quickly because

Muscles have a memory of their former fitness and strength encoded in their genes and it allows them to rebuild that strength faster when they lose it.

Sustained exercise creates epigenetic changes at cellular level that essentially allow us to modify our DNA.

Exercise overtime builds a new version of us that remains even after we stop exercising.
