“…Tendons exhibit the time-dependent characteristics of the viscoelastic materials (26). The continuing deformation or increase in length of a tendon that occurs under a constant load (the creep phenomenon) has been connected with the pathogenesis of repetitive loading injury of tendons (27).…”

In sports medicine, a chronic overuse injury is defined as a long‐standing or recurring orthopedic problem and pain in the musculoskeletal system, which started during exertion due to repetitive tissue microtrauma (1). Repetitive microtrauma, which is basically repeated exposure of the musculoskeletal tissue to low‐magnitude forces, results in injury at the microscopic level, and no single acute trauma is normally involved in the pathogenesis of an overuse injury. In chronic tendon disorders, ‘overuse’implies that the tendon has been strained repeatedly to 44% strain until unable to endure further tension, whereupon injury occurs (2). The structure of the tendon is disrupted micro‐ or macroscopically by this repetitivestrain, i.e. collagen fibers begin to slide past one another, causing breakage of their cross‐linked structure, and denaturate; inflammation, edema and pain result. Thus, tendinitis, peritendinitis, tenosynovitis, insertion tendinitis, tendinous bursitis or apophysitis is the earliest clinically recognizable manifestation of overuse tendon injury (3).

“…The length of this period (long period) increases when the specimen is stretched. The relationship between the long period and the mechanical properties of rat tail tendon with the age of the rat has been studied thoroughly by Riedl et al (1980), and Nemetschek et al (1980).…”
