Fatigue properties. Male supraspinatus tendons had significantly decreased |E|_fat than female and OVX tendons (a) while females had decreased k_fat compared to other groups (b). Hysteresis was greater in male tendons than female and OVX tendons (c). There were no significant differences in laxity at 50% fatigue life (d). Data represented as mean and standard deviation, n = 12/group. Significant differences are indicated by solid bars (p < 0.05/3) and trends are indicated by dashed lines (p < 0.1/3).
