Tendon and ligament mechanical loading in the pathogenesis of inflammatory arthritis
Eric Gracey, Arne Burssens, Isabelle Cambré, Georg Schett, Rik Lories, Iain B. McInnes, Hiroshi Asahara, Dirk ElewautThis review article discusses how mechanical loading affects tendons and ligaments. While normal levels of loading are essential for maintaining tissue health, pathological levels of force act as a stressor that can tri…

From mechanical loading to collagen synthesis, structural changes and function in human tendon
Michael Kjær, H Langberg, K Heinemeier, M L Bayer, Mette Hansen, L Holm, S Doessing, M Kongsgaard, M R Krogsgaard, S P…This review article outlines how tendons adapt to mechanical loading from exercise. The research indicates that loading increases the synthesis and turnover of collagen, the protein that gives tendons their strength. Th…

Role of Extracellular Matrix in Adaptation of Tendon and Skeletal Muscle to Mechanical Loading
MICHAEL KJÆRThis review discusses how the extracellular matrix (ECM), particularly collagen, adapts to mechanical loading in tendons and muscles. Physical activity stimulates both the creation and breakdown of collagen, a process e…
