take the field because of a recurrent calf spasm‚ a tennis star gives up early on a match due to knee problems or a sprinter limps across the finish line with a torn Achilles tendon‚ the problem is most often neither in the musculature or the skeleton. Instead‚ it is the structure of the connective tissue – ligaments‚ tendons‚ joint capsules‚ etc. – which have been loaded beyond their present capacity (Renström & Johnson 1985‚ Counsel & Breidahl 2010).

Like muscles‚ tendons adapt to the mechanical loading of regular exercise. A general adaptation is increased strength but different types of training will exert differing effects on muscle – tendon complexes. Ligaments and tendons will increase in flexibility and strength with exercise. Articular cartilage

They also need exercise. 5. Differentiate between tendons‚ ligaments and joints. A tendon is a tough band of fibrous connective tissue that usually connects muscle to bone and is capable of withstanding tension. A joint is the location at which two or more bones make contact. A ligament is a short band of tough fibrous

The head of the upper arm bone (humeral head) rests in a shallow socket in the shoulder blade called the glenoid. The head of the upper arm bone is usually much larger than the socket‚ and a soft fibrous tissue

The anterior and medial thigh begin at the Inguinal ligament‚ which runs from the anterior superior iliac spine‚ and insert on the pubic tubercle. The distal termination of this region is the tibiofemoral and patellofemoral joints. The hip joint is ball and socket joint‚ which is multiaxial‚ and can achieve flexion‚ extension‚ adduction‚ abduction‚ rotation and circumduction.
