The sarcoplasm is the fluid and energy sources that surround the myofibrils in the

muscle. It includes things such as ATP, glycogen, creatine phosphate and water.
Increase in size of blood vessels that provide blood to the muscles can also be
included in sarcoplasmic hypertrophy and is commonly referred to as
capillirisation.

This occurs much in the same way as myofibril hypertrophy, through your body
overcompensating during the recovery phase after your energy sources have been
depleted during a workout. It therefore increases energy stores such as ATP and
glycogen to prevent delpetion during training.
