This week we discuss appropriate responses to mechanical loading since it is likely that an appropriate amount of stimulus to drive adaptation in one tissue could be maladaptive, or at least ineffective, for other tissues. This article explores acute vs chronic adaptations to stress, endurance vs strength/power training, and muscle, tendon, cartilage, and bone response to loading. There is a breadth of information in this narrative review, so be sure to listen to the episode and/or read the article for yourself!
