Table 1.

Fibril strains are calculated by the change in fibril d-period from the initial (0%) d-period length at each level of full tendon strain.

Applied Tendon Strain Insertion Fibril Strain Midsubstance Fibril Strain
1% 1.83±5.06% 0.95±2.65%
3% 1.57±4.85% 0.94±3.06%
5% 3.66±4.84% 0.66±2.15%
7% 0.83±5.04% 1.10±2.67%
10% −0.47±5.06% 0.24±1.10%

Data is presented as mean ± standard deviation.
