This will tend to vary on the type of sport/ exercise. But training will often lead to adaptation so you will get better at that sport. This will not continue indefinitely though.
Also to get the best out of your training you need to eat healthily and get plenty of rest

Every time you do exercise you will turn on a huge number of genes and proteins in your muscles that will change the way the muscle functions. If you lifted weights for example, you will turn on signals that tell the muscle to get bigger and stronger. If you did endurance exercise, like going for a long run then you tell the muscle to increase its ability to use fat as a fuel and not fatigue as quickly. With weight training, if you repeat this exercise over and over (as you would with training) your muscle will gradually get bigger and stronger. Normally the rate of this adaptation is quick initially and then will get slower over time so you don’t rapidly get stronger and stronger. However if you keep working hard and vary the type of training then your muscle will keep developing. The good news is that our muscle never looses this ability to respond to exercise. So even people 100 years old still benefit from exercise and their muscle still adapts….

When doing any exercise for strength you have to make sure you have been taught how to do the exercise properly. You also need to make sure you are not overtaining as this can lead to the opposite effect happening and feelings of weakness and fatigue. Over trainng syndrome can be very bad for a person and can take a really long time to recover from. Rest days are really important for you body to recover but also so the positive effects of your training lead to the strength and fitness adaptations you are aiming for.
