Connective tissue fatigue occurs:
A)When the heart rate is maintained at 80% of the age-adjusted maximum during active exercise.
B)When there is a buildup of metabolites in connective tissue as the result of active stretching procedures.
C)When a muscle is not allowed adequate time to recover from exhaustion after exercise.
D)When a submaximal stress load is applied repeatedly and causes tissue failure as in a stress fracture or overuse syndrome.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Connective tissue fatigue occurs when a submaximal stress load is applied repeatedly and causes tissue failure as in a stress fracture or overuse syndrome. This is often seen in athletes or individuals who engage in repetitive activities that put stress on a particular muscle or joint. The repeated stress can cause microdamage to the connective tissue, leading to fatigue and eventual failure.
