Tendons: The Silent Cycle of Build and Repair

Tendons operate on a 24-hour circadian cycle, alternating between building up and cleaning up collagen. While muscle growth is visible and often prioritized, tendon development remains largely unnoticed, yet it is crucial for overall strength and stability. During sleep, tendons increase collagen synthesis, preparing them for activity, while the cleanup phase occurs throughout the day as tendons recover from stress and micro-damage. Disrupting this cycle can undermine tendon health, making awareness of these processes essential for maintaining peak physical performance.
