What is the medical term meaning an increase in muscle size?

Hypertrophy is the increase in muscle size. Transient hypertrophy occurs when fluid accumulation (edema) increases in specific muscles during exercise. It is often called "the pump" because after exercise, blood rushes to the muscles, instantly making them appear larger in size. Chronic hypertrophy occurs when long term resistance training results in the increase of muscle size. The duration for which the increased muscle size remains is dependent on the intensity and frequency of the workouts.
