- Here the tendon tissue splits into dozens of fine fibers with a characteristic biochemical composition," explains Prof. Andreas Bausch , Chair of Cellular Biophysics and director of the interdisciplinary research group. (tum.de)
- This is where it became clear that the thin fibers have a biochemical composition different from that of the actual tendon. (tum.de)
- In the third part of their experiment, the researchers moved the tendon back and forth under load and filmed the fibers. (tum.de)
- In addition researchers at the Chair of Organic Chemistry analyzed the various proteins in the tendons and interface fibers. (tum.de)
- These fibers have chemical crosslinks that, depending on your genetic makeup, can either make for a very flexible tendon or one that is quite stiff. (stoneclinic.com)
- Most of the time this remarkable process induces the torn tendons to heal-often with slightly thicker fibers and if exercise is applied occasionally, with a stronger tendon. (stoneclinic.com)

Viscoelastic1
- However, the observed AT changes in the middle-aged runners dissipated within 20-28 h post-run, suggesting that a tendon viscoelastic recovery mechanism may occur in vivo. (springer.com)
Aponeurosis1
- Since it was shown that the SSC-effect was also visible in studies not related to the previously mentioned mechanism 6 and the SSC-effect was present on the fiber level (meaning no serial-elastic component such as aponeurosis and tendon) 11 , another mechanism must also play a role in the SSC performance enhancement. (nature.com)
Occurs2
- It is believed that a degenerative process occurs in the tendon prior to the rupture. (medscape.com)

Elasticity1
- By altering the elasticity in the tendons of their models, the experimenters were able to see that a tight Achilles would make running more exhausting and necessarily slower. (isgtw.org)
