Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Like a sprain, a strain involves an overstretch or a complete or partial tear, but of a muscle or tendon instead of a ligament. Tendons are similar to ligaments in that they are tough bands of tissue, but they attach a muscle to a bone instead of holding two bones together.
Detailed explanation-2: -Strains affect the tendons (an easy way to remember this is sTrains = tendons or muscles), and sprains affect the ligaments. Both tendons and ligaments are connective tissues, and both are measured by severity. You can have a mild sprain or a severe strain, or vice versa.
