What prevents muscles from overstretching?
The Golgi tendon prevents muscles from overstretching by partially flexing the opposing (antagonist) muscle. However, after about 30 seconds of a stretch, it releases the antagonistic muscle and allows you to stretch further. That is why its suggested to do most stretches for at least 30 seconds.
Why should you avoid overstretching?
you might injury your self
What are the causes of tendinitis?
Sudden stretching or repeated overuse injures the connection between the tendon and its bone or muscle. The injury is largely mechanical, but when it appears, the body tries to heal it by initiating inflammation.
Resistance training is a great way to build muscle mass but excessive training can cause?

What is the medical term meaning overstretching or tearing of the connective tissue of a joint?
The medical term for overstretching or tearing of the connective tissue of a joint is "sprain."
What would happen if you overstretched your muscle?
Overstretching of a muscle initiates a stretch reflex spasm where the muscle spindle cells relay a message to the spinal cord, and an efferent message is sent to motor units to contract the muscle, thereby causing a muscle spasm.
How does the action of the rectus femoris differ from that of the other quadriceps muscles?
This muscle is also used to flex the thigh. The rectus femoris is the only muscle that can flex the hip. Injury to the rectus femoris muscle may result from overuse, as seen with kicking- or sprinting-related injuries. Inflammation of the muscle causes pain in the groin during physical exercises that use this muscle.
What painful muscle condition can result if you use a muscle too much and tear muscle fibers?
