MUSCLE PHYSIOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -A muscle strain is an injury to a muscle or a tendon-the fibrous tissue that connects muscles to bones. Minor injuries may only overstretch a muscle or tendon, while more severe injuries may involve partial or complete tears in these tissues.

Detailed explanation-2: -STRAIN: Occurs when a muscle or tendon is overstretched or over-exerted. Common sense can prevent many sprains and strains.

Detailed explanation-3: -A strain is when a muscle or tendon (tissue that attaches muscle to bone) is stretched too far. A strain is sometimes called a “pulled muscle.” Depending on the level of muscle strain, it may heal within a few weeks, but reinjury can happen.

Detailed explanation-4: -Most experts now use the term tendinopathy to include both inflammation and microtears. But for many years most tendon problems were called “tendinitis.” Many doctors still use this familiar word to describe a tendon injury.

Detailed explanation-5: -A strain is an injury to a muscle and/or tendon. Tendons are fibrous cords of tissue that attach muscles to bone. Strains often occur in the back or leg (typically, the hamstring).
