The Connective System#

[DRAFT OUTLINE — Claude]

Planned coverage:

• Collagen - structure, turnover rate, and why blood supply limits adaptation
• Tendon stiffness and elastic energy return
• The adaptation lag - muscle in weeks, tendon in months
• Bone remodelling and the need for strain rate, not just load
• Fascia - force transmission and proprioception, and where the evidence thins
• Tendinopathy - what it is, and why rest alone rarely fixes it
• Viscoelasticity and its role in range of motion

Feeds: Tissue Resilience, Mobility and Flexibility, Power.
