    2. 2 The Physics of Sports Injury Connective Tissue Connective tissues are the most common type of tissue in the body. Connective tissues include ligaments, retinaculum, joint capsules, bone, cartilage, fascia, and tendons. In some sports, nearly 50% of acute injuries involve either tendon or muscle.

    3. 3 The Physics of Sports Injury (continued) Muscle/fascia are thought to be injured by excessive tension during eccentric contractions. Tendons are strong; strains occur most often at the distal musculotendinous junction (MTJ). Musculotendinous strains are the most common soft tissue sports injuries.
