Immobilized in a lengthened position: it will adapt by increasing the number of sacromeres (myofibrillogenesis) to maintain the greatest functional overlap of actin and myosium filamentThe minimum time frame necessary for a stretched muscle to become a longer muscle by adding sacromeres is not knownThe adaptation of the contracitle units muscle to prolonged positioning in either lengthened or shortened position is lasting for only 3-5 weeksvarious types of connective tissue: tendons, ligaments, articular cartilafe, fascia, and skin
