Do you get a increase in size of blood vessels after exercise?
Yes.
One of the consequences of exercise training is an increase in blood vessel size (diameter) in the trained exercising muscles. This increased diameter allows more blood to flow through the vessels and deliver more oxygen to the contracting muscles, which contributes to the increased muscle performance in both aerobic and anaerobic exercise metabolism.
