Understanding Collagen Synthesis and Connective Tissue
Collagen is a major component of connective tissue, including tendons, ligaments, and fascia. Building tendon and ligament health involves stimulating collagen synthesis which responds to specific types of training. Studies show that training can increase the volume and thickness of ligaments like the ACL, promoting benefits such as reduced injury risk and enhanced performance.
