Musculoskeletal System Strength

Meaning

Musculoskeletal System Strength refers to the integrated functional capacity of the muscles, bones, tendons, and ligaments to generate and withstand physical force and maintain structural integrity. This strength is a composite measure of muscle mass, bone mineral density, and the resilience of connective tissues, all of which are profoundly influenced by endocrine status. Sustaining high levels of this strength is crucial for maintaining mobility, supporting metabolic health, and providing protection against frailty in later life.
