Imbalances in the development of muscle and tendon as risk factor for tendinopathies in youth athletes: a review of current evidence and concepts of prevention

F Mersmann, S Bohm, A Arampatzis - Frontiers in physiology, 2017 - frontiersin.org
Tendons feature the crucial role to transmit the forces exerted by the muscles to the skeleton.
Thus, an increase of the force generating capacity of a muscle needs to go in line with a …

Effects of tissue degradation by collagenase and elastase on the biaxial mechanics of porcine airways

CA Mariano, S Sattari, GO Ramirez, M Eskandari - Respiratory Research, 2023 - Springer

Diabetes alters mechanical properties and collagen fiber re-alignment in multiple mouse tendons

BK Connizzo, PR Bhatt, KW Liechty… - Annals of biomedical …, 2014 - Springer
Tendons function to transfer load from muscle to bone through their complex composition
and hierarchical structure, consisting mainly of type I collagen. Recent evidence suggests …

Effect of age and proteoglycan deficiency on collagen fiber re-alignment and mechanical properties in mouse supraspinatus tendon

BK Connizzo, JJ Sarver… - Journal of …, 2013 - asmedigitalcollection.asme.org
Collagen fiber realignment is one mechanism by which tendon responds to load. Re-
alignment is altered when the structure of tendon is altered, such as in the natural process of …

Micromechanical poroelastic finite element and shear-lag models of tendon predict large strain dependent Poisson's ratios and fluid expulsion under tensile loading

H Ahmadzadeh, BR Freedman, BK Connizzo… - Acta Biomaterialia, 2015 - Elsevier
As tendons are loaded, they reduce in volume and exude fluid to the surrounding medium.
Experimental studies have shown that tendon stretching results in a Poisson's ratio greater …
