Ligament Health

Meaning

Ligament Health refers to the optimal structural integrity, elasticity, and functional capacity of the fibrous connective tissues that link bones to other bones, providing essential stability to joints. The maintenance of this health is crucial for musculoskeletal performance, injury prevention, and long-term mobility. The condition of ligaments is profoundly influenced by the endocrine environment, as sex hormones directly modulate the synthesis and turnover of collagen, the primary structural protein of these tissues. A healthy ligament status is characterized by an appropriate balance of stiffness and flexibility, ensuring resilience under physical stress.
