The Biomechanical and Biochemical Properties of Swine Tendons — Long Term Effects of Exercise on the Digital Extensors
Abstract
Positive effects on the tensile characteristics of swine digital extensors were found following twelve months of exercise training. Compared to sedentary controls, the tendons from the exercised animals became stronger as a material and exhibited hypertrophy. These biomechanical results were supported by biochemical analyses of tendon composition. Exercise increased the concentration of collagen as well as the total weights of the tendons. For determining stress and strain in tendon material, we used specially designed instruments to measure the tendon cross-sectional area, and a video dimensional analyzer system to measure accurately its "non-contact" tensile strain. With these newly developed apparatus, the mechanical properties of the tendons were accurately determined so that the effects of exercise training could be compared.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
