High Tensile Strength

Meaning

High Tensile Strength, in the domain of human physiology, is the biomechanical measure of the maximum stress a load-bearing tissue, such as bone, tendon, or ligament, can withstand when subjected to a longitudinal pulling force before structural failure or rupture occurs. This property is a direct determinant of musculoskeletal integrity, resilience against injury, and the body’s capacity for sustained physical function. Tissues possessing high tensile strength are essential for optimal kinetic efficiency and long-term mobility.
