Answer;

Muscular fitness training strengthens tendons, ligaments, and cartilage

Explanation;

-Muscle fitness is the training of muscles that should involve progressive levels of muscular stabilization, endurance, strength, and power training cycles or phases.

-Muscle fitness is beneficial as it improves cardiovascular fitness, increases muscle strength and endurance, increases metabolism and helps to maintain weight.  It also reduces the risk for chronic disease and other adverse health outcomes.

-Muscle contractions stimulates tendons and ligaments to become stronger and to grow in thickness. Tendons and ligaments are dense connective tissues made of collagen or elastic fibers that run parallel to each other, creating strong cords. Tendons attach muscles to bone. Ligaments connect bone to bone to form joints.
