Ever wondered how tendons actually adapt?⁠
⁠
It’s not just about lifting heavy — it’s about the mechanics behind the load.⁠
⁠
Here are the 3 key mechanisms that make tendons stronger and stiffer:⁠
⁠
1. Tensile Strain – You need high strain (>4.5%) to trigger collagen remodeling.⁠
⁠
2. Fluid Movement – Each contraction moves fluid through the tendon, preparing it to handle more load.⁠
⁠
3. Stress Relaxation – Holding a contraction (especially >20s) lets the tendon stretch more for the same force — enhancing adaptation.⁠

How fast can tendons actually get stronger?⁠
⁠
Faster than you think — research shows measurable changes in just 6 weeks!⁠
⁠
Early gains come from improved material quality (collagen organization & stiffness).⁠
⁠
Structural growth (cross-sectional area) takes longer — months, not weeks.⁠
⁠
The key? High strain, slow tempo, and consistency⁠
