The Role of Tissue Tolerance in Training

Direct Answer
Tissue tolerance is the ability of muscles, tendons, bones, and connective tissue to withstand mechanical and metabolic stress without injury.

Primary Mechanisms
Tissue tolerance develops through repeated exposure to load that stimulates adaptation without exceeding structural limits.

Constraints and Timelines
Connective tissues adapt more slowly than muscles, making rapid increases in load particularly risky.

Practical Relevance
Training progression should prioritize gradual exposure to stress to build tissue tolerance and reduce injury risk.
