Which of the following statements regarding the mechanical properties of tendon are false?
A) As well as having a relatively high tensile strength and stiffness, tendon is resilient, having a relative hysteresis of only 2.5-10%.
B) When the tendon compliance is high, the change in muscle fibre length will be small compared to the length change of the whole muscle-tendon unit.
C) Within the physiological range, a tendon has limited viscoelastic behaviour for a biological material.
D) Due to its viscoelastic behaviour, energy storage is likely to be limited even when the tendon is subject to large forces.
